Y'know--I reread the original post--and he said _explicitly_ that anybody who 
did not support the Vreind decision was a fascist. I stated that that was not 
the case--and that I was not basing my disagreement on some right-wing or 
collectivist philosophy. Care to _identify_ the strawman instead of just 
asserting that it exists?

I mean--you are not contending thatthe Vreind decision is _not_ based on a 
wish to control the actions of homophobes, are you? I understood the decision 
as _exactly_ looking to control the actions of homophobes. Are you suggesting 
that the term *politically-correct* isn't used with any accuracy here? Prove 
it.
