A horde of vulgar homophobes nests in the social media, calling themselves "orthodox Catholics". Their "arguments" consist of (1) biblical and magisterial fundamentalism, (2) gibes more worthy of a lavatory wall than of a public forum. Very many of them are wrestling with their own sexuality and busily projecting their self-hatred onto chosen targets. Behind these internet blowhards lies another bigger and more dangerous horde, that of the everyday bullies who prey especially on innocent youth.
