This is stupid because there are many millions out there intending to insult and offend gay people.
And he ISN'T one of those millions, from what I have seen both of you say, he is trying to as nice as possible, then you come back and slam him by calling him, A Nazi and Hitler.

You are doing EXACTLY what he is doing (kinda) only to a dif. group, you are calling him something he is not, like you are saying he is grouping you into a category that you do not belong to.
You're saying he is "using false sterotypes, that only define a small majority of gay people" and you are turning around and calling him a Nazi ruller. That's uncalled for.
He is not running around and MURDERING people for their beliefes, he is simply stating what he knows, he said it himself that he doesn't know a lot of gay people, so what HE has to go off of is the things that he sees on T.V. and hears on the radio and in songs, he has nothing else to go by.
Maybe if he hung around more gay people he would "see the light" then you would both get each other, and this would all not matter.
But since he doesn't seem to know any, I think that he will STILL continue using the sterotypes that the TV has givin him, because he has nothing else to go by.
If you would be nicer and more accepting to his "close minded" ways then you could show to him that all gays are not flowery, like they portray in movies and on TV, don't be negative about it, and call him a Nazi.
I think that both of you should be more accepting, Lord Kalthorn you should listen more, Giancarlo you should learn to be more respectful to peoples not knowing.
You are "punishing" (I put in quotes for a reason, cause he's not REALLY... but that's all I could think of) him for what he doesn't know.
Be a teacher Giancarlo!
Be a studen Lord Kalthorn!
THEN
Be a teacher Lord Kalthron!
Be a student Giancarlo!

I wouldn't've liked to get in on this, but I felt I had to. If there are any hard feelings twords me, if you think I have done anything wrong, tell me and I will apologize.
(hope this wasn't out of line, it just felt like it was called for... for you to stop bickering)
