I didn’t say “homophobic”. I said “try to be clever about” “the homosexual condition”. As in another case, you were trying to be “clever” about a mere verbalism and making in the process a “joke” which might have passed as one in the 1970s. The innuendo is that someone called “Loveritas” might be a homosexual.

Do you never read what you write?
