That, alongside “physically handicapped” and “mentally handicapped”, there is such a thing as “morally handicapped” that we should somehow compensate for in our laws? My doctor says I have a malformed public duty gland and a natural definciency in moral fibre and am therefore excused from saving universes. Also I get to use the handicapped spots. ---

If straight men who don’t want to share locker rooms with gay men are troglodytic homophobes, then the same applies to women who don’t want to share them with straight men? They’re troglodytic heterophobes, or androphobes? Why not? I don’t particularly care myself, but any argument you make about why men should get over gay men being in the locker room could just as easily be applied to women and straight men. Am I to assume all the women in this thread are comfortable using a coed locker room, and that they despise any woman who isn’t? ---

> [@Miller](#): > > _We_ need thicker skins? Hey, you’re the one who’s got the vapors over the idea that someday, somehow, a gay guy might get a look at your junk. If you weren’t such a delicate little flower, we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place But nobody is forcing the offended ones to respond in this thread, and yet they do. With quite a bit of venom! ---

I’ve been trying to do it in a rational way, its the gays in this thread who are butthurt and offended, and are resorting to name-calling ---

The idea that if someone calls you an asshole, you have to smile and take it, is not a part of “liberal tolerance.” Did you even watch the videos?? The only one being insulted were the one guy who was standing around doing nothing, and the black guy who was preaching his religion ---
