`  ::Let me take this in a bit at a time, okay? The first thing I understand is that opponents of FG regard the teachings to be ``homophobic``. And depending on one's definition of homophobia, we can pretty much see where that would come from. As many people use the word, ``homophobic`` can mean simply ``opposed to homosexuality``. It can also, however, mean ``irrationally opposed`` to it (having no reason which makes sense to any sane person); or, working actively to suppress it (as by legislation); or, ``afraid of homosexuals`` (refusing to work with them, crossing the street to avoid gay bars); or, ``hates homosexuals`` (beating them up, telling snide jokes about them, refusing to rent, etc.)  ::From what little I know - basically Wikipedia and a few random bits of googling - FG's critics are using ``homophobic`` only in the first, minimal sense. They complain that FG opposes gay sex as a karma-producing behavior.  ::Are you going a bit further and asserting that FG's anti-homosexuality teaching is also ``irrational``, ``fear-based`` or ``hateful``? If so, it would be good to provide a source for this (other than your own reasoning). Surely there's a civic leader (or cultivator's son!) whom we can quote.  `
