This is nothing new. I knew this since I was a kid and it also reminds me of that movie American Beauty. Nonetheless there are still a lot of people out there who hate gays because they were just indoctrinated with religious beliefs or grew up around gay-haters and just adopted the attitude in the same way that we adopt many of the things around us during our development. Also, I find the word "homophobic" inaccurate since I've never come across a anti-homo person who was afraid of a homosexual, in fact quite the opposite - they'd get white knuckles, grind their teeth and want to attack.

Woah... Well, I cant be too surprised. They're all drunks and I'm sure the judge was sympathetic. Alcohol can mess things up in many powerful ways in a society and yet you can get it at virtually every corner store and grocery store in the U.S. and across most of the world... As well as tobacco. Yet if you're ever in severe pain and need some vicodin, well... You'll have to swallow your pride and kiss your doctors ass and still get less than what you want or need, have to be seen as an addict and be on the DEA's watch list. You'll also face abrupt withdrawals as you run out early when your doctor goes on vacation or someone steals your bottle or you lose it and, well, as a guy whose father has rheumatoid arthritis, it's a total hell but as Thomas Szasz says - and is right about - nobody cares until they're the ones suffering to death and before then are in love with the illusion that doctors and the government regulated drug industry are there to keep them safe from themselves because if there's one thing that terrifies the masses the most it is personal responsibility.
