I'm so tired of seeing gay used as a slur here against republicans.
   
It's not OK. It's homophobic.

I agree.  Most republicans are not gay.

2. Hear, hear.
   
In any context, usage of "gay" as a slur is, at best, unenlightened and ignorant; at worst, hateful and hurtful. I think some people are under the misapprehension that it is somehow hip or funny to use "gay" as a disparaging adjective. Ironically, it's the sort of demeaning crap I'd expect to see on a Republican board.

Well, that was gay.

9. +1 And they appear to be proud of themselves for it.
   

Gay pride!

33. You can't put homophobia and "anti-religious bigotry" on the same level...
   
...not and be fair, anyway. A lot of us are "anti-religious" because we don't want to be governed by anyone whose positions are dictated by the irrational (i.e. faith). I don't think that's bigoted at all...just reasonable.

35. What a lame excuse for bigotry, Trog.
   
You sound like racists in the Civil Right Era, who blamed their hatred of black people because of their fear of being run by n****rs or n****r-lovers. They claimed that those are the facts, too.

If your bigotry is based on so-called "true" facts, as you see them, you are totally blind to your bigotry, Trog. Sucks to be you.

You're not alone: there are 217 recommends on the thread promoting religious bigotry: "OK, I admit it. I will openly discriminate against the highly religious in the 2012 elections."

There IS something wrong with being gay while fighting against equal rights. I think the hipocrisy is what some people are trying to call out. They're not trying to use the "gay" part as a slur, but instead the implied "hypocrite".

Get out of here.  You don't make no sense.

18. How about "ga(h)ypocrite"
   
I have only seen it used in this context ... and as much by LGBT DUers as others.

Before I get hate mail, I hardly use the term at all, anyway.

Um... I don't think so.  Only nadin is allowed to conjure new words.


I'm surprised nobody suggested using "ghey".  I also don't appreciate the DUmp trying to oppress my views on being anti-gay.  After all, I was born this way.   :popcorn:

I take it that DU and Wanda Sykes got upset over this?



Anger: Olivier Odom, right, was forced to turn her T-shirt inside out so she and her partner Jennifer Tipton could enter the Dollywood theme park.

Wanda Sykes gets ballistic over burnt toast.  I can just imagine how upset she was over that shirt.  :)

I though the same after reading to op.
Faggot, rump-ranger, pillow-biter, turd-burglar? :whatever:
I have to agree with them.
Backseat drivers shouldn't be called "gay", it's an insult to happy people.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
