I'm not sure if this thread should be closed, I don't think so, but... we close gay threads because there are homophobes doesn't make sense to me... there doesn't seem to be a ton of homophobes on this forum. We can discuss just about every issue. We can discuss religious ones, if they're about the middle east, if it's concerning Christians though, that usually gets closed quite fast.

Even if we did close threads because of homophobes, does that make sense?

Not an actual quote

"Well you see you can't make a thread about gay issues because a homophobe is going to come in your thread and call you a fag, so before that happens we close it, even though they are in the minority and most people will be able to have a serious conversation"
