Indeed, the same with Edward II, but its argued he and Philip of France were lovers at some point.
Like you said, it's a matter of debate, but it's no more controversial than using Edward II as an example of a homosexual who has started a war, and a damn sight less controversial than using Edward I as evidence of such.

Well, if English kings were a bit more original in their names this confusion would not exist...

Homosexuals too have gay bars, clubs and, of course, the privacy of their own homes. But yet a certain minority of them aren't content with that and aggressively press their lifestyle on general public by holding obnoxious parades and screaming and whining about their rights all the time. There's a nice word for such people - assholes, and even the most liberal Western nations haven't yet gone as far as to demand tolerating assholes.

It's much like why people who don't have a problem with nudists have a problem with homos - nudists are allocated their own secluded places to practice their thing without offending the sensibilities of others.

In short, if homos and the likes just kept it private, there wouldn't really be a problem. Being... well, genetically and/or psychologically impaired in the sexual sphere isn't really something to brag with anyway.

In short, Homophobia is instinctual, it's not a controlled or conditioned response. It is only through public pressure and self denial that heterosexuals tolerate homosexuals, because their primitive brain views them as an unnatural threat, where as the rational brain cannot justify the prejudice of the primitive brain.

Get the fuck out of my religion with your outdated and backward bigotry. I hope a bird shits upon from a great height. I hope your children are ugly and your wife is fat. I fart in your general direction.

Isn't this a bit like saying "I don't like Black people because Al Sharpton is a shameless ambulance chaser"

And it is Latin (and Italian) for 'left'. In the Victorian times (and before), left-handed children were forced to write with their right hand.

Perhaps if homosexuals had equal rights to heterosexuals, no more parades would occur and the "whining" about rights would end.
But no, you have to take the harder option and force them into hiding.

People hate you for a reason. It is not homophobes who have to change, you have to.
