Unfreep this poll (Us vs. the homophobes)

Should celebrities be punished for bigoted statements?

Yes
No

The Freepers got wind of this, and are skewing the results from Yes to No. Can we get some people who aren't mouthbreathers to cast some votes here?

I gotta say though, I wish we had a better term than 'homophobe' / 'homophobia' -- that almost sounds like a legitimate mental illness like arachnophobia, something you'd expect to see in the DSM.

I don't have a better term, but we need one, IMHO.
