Please read carefully widjibeaker… You have a valid point about labelling those with a different point of view.
Every individual has the right to their own personal opinion on homosexuality and heterosexuality. What they do not have the right to do is to insult, harrass or name call. If you read carefully through some of these comments, you can see narrow-mindedness in such words as “perverts, deviance and disgusting.” I did happen to notice that none of these were said by you. Perhaps you share their opinion, but you have enough of an open mind and respect to know that insulting others is beyond your right. I understand and respect your point of view, and you have every right to it, but no one has the right to push for their beliefs by insulting, hurting or discriminating against others.
As a Canadian citizen, I find it uplifting to know that the majority of the people commenting on this strip are positive and accepting. There’s enough hatred, damage and dislike in the world today, you need not be sarcastic about what is or can be found in a comic strip. For Better or For Worse has every right to comment on the rights of homosexual men and women, and bravo to Lynn Johnston for taking the time to remind us that it wasn’t always so! I’ve turned to Better or For Worse my whole life for a good laugh, however it has also made me think and question events and change that occur in reality. Those of us who are unable or unwilling to see past our own narrow minded opinions should be respectful enough not to insult or harrass those who are. Once again, congratulations to those people taking the time to push for acceptance! Bravo to you all!
