Winston is absolutely entitled to his opinions. He's of a different generation, of a different up bringing and thats just the way he was raised.
I find his comments offensive but i also appreciate that we live in a large world with a large spectrum of people who have a large spectrum of opinions.
I don't feel the need to bully someone into thinking the way i do.
He doesn't seem aggressively anti gay, his views just seem out dated and prejudice.”
You have a more mature and dignified reaction than the intolerant way other people have reacted. My gay friends take a 'whatever' view of opinions like Winston's.
The overly aggressive approach never changes opinions. If anything it reinforces them, society progresses but ancient scriptures can't be rewritten. I was raised as Catholic, and taught that when it comes to the teachings of the bible, you have to use your own conscience, mine says if two people love each other gender doesn't matter.
