Reply to comment by cpujockey in With Republicans threatening violence if election results don't go their way and voter intimidation out in full force what is Vermont doing to combat this? by [deleted]

This will get downvoted to hell but hopefully someone will see it first.

You gotta stop calling a male who has never shown any inclination of being gay a homosexual as the punchline of a joke. You may mot be using a slur but your whole joke is they are having sex with men. It’s homophobic. I doubt you are a rampant homophobe but when we as a society continue to use “straight man is gay” as an insult or punchline it perpetuates the problem,

There are so many.. so so many other things to insult this guy with cant you come up with something better. For real. Just stop. Stop with the “straight guy sucks dicks” or “straight guy is gay” jokes . Regardless of your intent, it is homophobic.

Wanda Sykes explained this much better than I am. There was a whole think before you speak campaign in 2008. It took a while, to sink in with me but eventually I got it.

If we want to stop marginalizing a community, stop making the sexual preference an insult. Simple enough.

So the trend of Republican makes drowning their sorrows in alcohol and rent boys is homophobic.

Maybe I need to make life style choices.
