The 'homophobic' thing

I'm not really going to elaborate, because the people who know know and the people who don't are lucky *g* but I would be really interested to know how people are justified in calling me 'homophobic' based on my 'Ship...' post below. I've reread it and everything, and I don't get it.
No, I don't read slash. No, I don't understand the appeal, and obviously Morgan and I weren't going to see eye to eye on a lot of things (although I was enjoying the conversation and was saddened to see it end). But then again, I don't see eye to eye with a bunch of the HW on a LOT of things *g*
(Oops, there I go, blurting trade secrets...)
Anyway... how that translates to, quite literally, a 'fear of homosexuals/homosexuality'... wow, I have to admit, that one sailed right over my head.

Bring that subject up on a mailing list (less public) where we're both members and I'll argue till you're sick of it :-)
I don't think anti-slash automatically translates as homophobic. Some do, though, and you do come across as strongly anti-slash. Maybe that's the reason?
I dunno. I like that even though we're never going to agree on this stuff, we still get along. Mostly.
