- I'm unclear what it is you're trying to establish, Walter.
- Clearly, employment (and other) discrimination because of
- homophobia exists; you're apparently not disputing that.
- When you ask for more detail, I wonder why? Is it your
- intention to argue that "a few" such cases are somehow not
- worth making a fuss about, that homophobia isn't "all that
- bad," or what?
