GfS, the civil rights of a minority group IS a political issue, so it's relevant to this discussion. HOWEVER—it was Akenaton's persistent use of the expression "liberal fascist" that actually focused the matter on the use of political terminology.

It was Akenaton who diverted the thread, not me.

But I know why GfS is particularly fond of getting on my case. From a bit of information he posted on the Prop. 8 thread, he knows I have his number—I know why this matter, especially the question of choice versus heredity, is so scary for him.

If anyone has unresolved issues around here, it's GfS. And that explains a lot.
