:::Furthermore, although I am a political opponent of James on many levels, it is not I who believes that calling him a "faggot" will hurt his cause on a political level.  You just refuse to acknowledge that he was called this during the reign of his son, to (according to the accepted standards of the time period), thought it would be scandalous and outright damaging to his rule.  Because of their convention, the slurs did help portray his rule as the beginning of the end for those who were out to get him.  Now, you repeat homophobic insults and intertwine your own homosexuality with his identity, although he was a straight man stuck in a quicksand of backbiting, that included homophobic language.  Why perpetuate falsehoods, other than to make yourself feel better that somebody famous is alleged to be gay like you, especially if you like to smear him as a hypocrite, for all the abuse you suffered by fundie Bible thumpers?  It is obvious where you stand, or bend over, in this.  24.255.11.149
