IN reply to Allan Horsfall's letter about homophobia and Clause 28, I for one am sick and tired of him bleating on and accusing everyone who isn't homosexual of being homophobic.

People will always fear homosexuals, just as people will always fear spiders. You just can't quash a phobia, and Mr Horsfall's constant rantings are doing more harm to his cause than good.

So for everyone's sake, give it a rest and let each person be allowed to voice his own opinion, whether it be agreeable to you or not.
