    Uh oh, the person who’s been claiming that being gay gives them a free pass to be homophobic for the last 2 hours is asking about my sexuality. I can imagine the “gotcha” you’re waiting to spew at me if I say no.

    I’m not going to answer that. It shouldn’t matter. Bigotry is bigotry regardless of who’s doing it, uncle ruckus. And everyone should be calling it out when they see it.

      Who gets to decide what is bigotry?

      Do you get to tell the subject of said suspected bigotry that they should feel offended?

      Do you get to tell black people they are not allowed to use the N word?

      Words are power. You better make damned sure you aren’t stealing.

        Societal norms

        Do you get to tell the subject of said suspected bigotry that they should feel offended?

        I told you no such thing. I said that you were being homophobic. The listener decides if they want to be offended or not. Judging by this thread, a bunch of people were offended. Good job I guess?

        Do you get to tell black people they are not allowed to use the N word?

        Nobody told you you weren’t allowed to do anything. You started whining that they were when someone pointed out your homophobia, but nobody ever said “don’t say that” or “you’re not allowed to say that” or anything like that.

          You really haven’t thought this through, have you?
