Heterosexism and homophobia: Intolerable Demagoguery
It is perhaps inevitable that homosexuals and their hetero advocates feel impelled if not downright "honor bound" to trumpet such turgid POV manifestos. Nonetheless it is intolerable and offensive to the thinking mind that this pathetic section should be presented as undisputed and indeed indisputable objective truth. This section is self-evidently strident sermonization, engendered by the forced triumphalism that the exhibitionistic mind mistakes for the force of honest conviction. There are forums where such chest-thumping by the "pro-gay" is acceptable and one suspects, fiercely demanded. In an encyclopedia not exclusively sponsored by the the myriad homosexual advocacy groups, only objective informationItalic text may appaear. I THUS FEEL COMPELLED TO REMOVE THIS BLABBER.

You feel compelled, jolly good. Unfortunately for your diatribe; homophobia is a well documented phenomena and something relevant to record in this article (although, perhaps the section could be toned down, I will look into that). Please provide policy based reasons why the section is a problem and not a long rant of WP:IDONTLIKEIT :) --Errant(chat!) 10:39, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot recall ever having read anything turgid on Wikipedia. That said, the article obviously needs work and Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. It is waiting for someone who can take it on, turgid prose and all. Or would it be more entertaining to complain a lot and make everyone do it for you, so that you may complain yet again at the end result? This song is tired. --Moni3 (talk) 14:24, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Soz101, I couldn't agree more. But unfortunately, the homosexual agenda has a tight grasp on Wikipedia. Any effort to promote neutrality on any LGBT-related articles will be swiftly put to an end. That's just the way things are unfortunately. Scare tactics and untruthful lies perpetrated by the liberal agenda on Wikipedia are relentless, unending, and pathetic attempts to change the truth. The good thing, though, is that anybody in their right mind can see through the disgusting and flagrant bias on this page and many like it. ΙΧΘΥΣ (talk) 02:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
