your 'sources' are the 'FBM' club.

RESOLVED: Bill Maher's homophobia is on full display every Friday.

If such a pattern exists, the Affirmative (that would be you) should have no difficulty producing recent examples in which Maher expressed hostility toward gay people or opposition to their equal rights.

Opposing the Affirmative, Abolishinist states:

• Maher has supported same-sex marriage for decades, including when it was still a politically controversial position.
• He has consistently argued that gay people should have the same legal rights as everyone else.
• He has frequently criticized religious and political opposition to homosexuality.
• He has had openly gay guests, colleagues, and friends throughout his career without treating homosexuality itself as problematic.
• Unlike figures commonly described as homophobic, he does not advocate legal restrictions on gay relationships, marriage, employment, or civil rights.
• I watch his show most Fridays, I've never witnessed his 'homophobia'.

Equal time for the "Affirmative" to respond.

Looking forward to an informative 'debate'. Go for it!
