Warning To The Homophobes Analysis

Dear ladies and gentlemen, today i'm here to discuss a very controversial topic and share a very controversial viewpoint on this topic.I read an article titled “Warning to the Homophobes” which astoundingly states the following in the very first paragraph:“...now the tide has turned.
