It is people like YOU, Kim that make rational discussions on any subject
that may or may not deal with homosexuality impossible, because no
matter what a straight person says, if their opinion differs from yours
you will accuse them of being homophobic.  I am sick of this attitude.
Of course it is a lot easier to call someone homophobic than it is to
have a meaningful discussion, because you can be the poor victim and I
am the bad man, right?  You need to realize this discussion is not about
YOU BEING GAY.  It is about the song Cloudbursting.  How in hell did
this turn into a discussion about homophobia?  Ok, you are right, I must
be homophobic because I believe what Kate Bush has said about this song,
not you.
My God, open up your mind...at least I entertained the possibility that
this song is about being gay, and I actually think it may have some gay
undercurrents, but your mind is made up, and there is no point in
discussing it, is there?   I hate predjudice, and the way you lump all
straight people together...you should be ashamed of yourself.
