I head for zee fucking hills when I hear this label right after I regain my composure from laughing. I'd also like to second what steve said.
and i was citing it as such a label. which is why i was using it to describe someone else, and followed it up with "somewhat like myself" as i would never describe myself with words like "progressive", even though i might fit the bill on this or that issue. just like, if i were in a band that dreamt up all sorts of tempo changes and meandering arrangements, i would never describe it as "progressive rock". "progressive" is a BS label to apply to oneself.
anyhow
i never should have posted this topic! people take things too seriously, which is made worse when they misinterpret them. too many posts that begin with something along the lines of "so you mean to say...."
and a lot of "with us or against us" BS. "no, you don't understand, that makes you pro-homophobia".... an actual term that surfaced in this thread.

is there a difference between "pro-homophobia" and "homophobic"? dummy.
lighten up. i didn't mean to offend anyone. of course, i've had some fun in my own replies and might continue to do so, and much thanks to the few who have been posting in good-hearted fun as well.
whatever.
