I would to some considerable extent prefer being raped by a woman than by a man if I was forced to make a choice between one or the other. But I still would not like it. And that is the plain truth, quite apart from poltically correct posturing to make sure that no one listening in here thinks (gasp!) that I might be homophobic!

To be branded as homophobic these days is pretty much like being accused of consorting with the devil back in 1550. It is to be avoided at all cost. This accounts for a great deal of the frenzied rhetoric one hears about it all the time.
