By god, I've figured it out, Johnson!
I've discovered the center of criticism and hate!
It derives from a deep self loathing
and inability to live up to
an impossible set standard. A fear of failure.
Now if they could all love what they do,
and use imperfections
to drive forward to progression,
imagine what world we'd be living in.
It's quite phenomenal.

It's very true, and I know for a fact it really cuts some people to the core.
One of my very very best friends is gay, and his response always makes me smile, but anytime someone says something like "you're so gay" or calls him a [censored] or other derogatory terms, he always just says "you don't say!"
I think it's funny because in some areas where it's very liberal, and there are large gay populations, it seems like the straight, pro open-sexuality population is more offended by those words then some of the less than hetero kiddos.
That being said, I just want to say that obviously that is not true in every case and that it is still a problem.
