Oh, it be so.
Yesterday, a diary who's title called Dana Milbank "Dick Whisperer" and speculated he gave good head got 31 recs and tips from 50 people.
Yep, 50 people think it's OK to label people we don't like as being gay.
50 people who think calling someone gay is an insult, and a proper one
50 so-called progressives who openly lied and claimed they didn't realize that saying a man must give good head is playing on our country's open hatred of gay people. (Okay, all 50 didn't, but those who did comment were scary!)
That's sad. Not surprising given the state of homophobia in America today, but very sad given this is a supposedly progressive site.
What's much sadder is that the mods let it stand. Sending the unmistakable message that it's OK to use homophobic insults if "we" don't like the person you're insulting.
UPDATE:
I always focus on the bad, i should have given props to those who called out the diarest or Hr'd it:
Aldous, Cartoon Peril, arodb, alliedoc,gave Hr's. Eileen B, purple priestess, robcat said it was offensive.
and i shouldn't have tarred the whole site. maybe mods never speak up? it was heartbreaking because i value the site.
