Just one more thought about gnagle's objection, and that is why this particular thread? It seems as if the What Would You Name Your Queercore Band thread to be a more appropriate place to raise concerns of its humor being misinterpreted. Regardless, a couple of updates on posts made prior to his objection. EDIT: I am not saying that the WWYNYQB thread is in bad taste, well, it is and that's what makes it so good, and should be left to get buried; just that his point would have been more open to debate in that type of atmosphere.

Before this situation I have never heard of Michael Berry, and on the surface it seems as if this conservative radio talk show host doesn't have the same issues as most of the cases in this thread, although, I could almost swear when referring to the cajun music that plays during his segments he called it "coon-ass." Haven't bothered to try listening again.RSMurphy wrote:AZ sheriff Paul Babeu admits to being a Bean QueenHe's not, however, admitting to attempting to deport his ex-boyfriend, a Mexican immigrant, after threatening to make the relationship public.The real gay agenda is progressing nicely.From the same blog...Hell hath no fury like a closet case scorned.

There's no shame in giving a prick the business for being a prick. First the business, then forgiveness. That's how shit goes.

Maybe if one of these turds comes out of their own volition instead of being dragged kicking and screaming, as well as apologizing for all of the hurt and pain they've contributed to, sure.Really, really well put, Man! Thanks! And now, as for me, I'm going back to humor! I love you guys!

I totally understand that this thread is a form of satire, but if you think about, aren't these nut job hypocrites the ultimate victims? I mean if we're going to go with 'Born this way', where does the judgement begin? It makes me laugh in that it's almost a paradox.Here's where I draw the line(I'm only speaking for myself) -The making fun of Michelle Bachmann's husband(who may just be a flamboyant male) is as of right now, not cool. If it comes out that he is gay, that changes the entire picture. All of the "Pray away the gay" stuff is then taking place in an entirely different context. The judgment begins when you demonize others to create a hiding place for yourself. The people they demonize are the ultimate victims.

Have there been any reverse situations? Like if RuPaul were some anti-straight asshole who was secretly found eating pussy?

The thing I find most personally troubling about this thread is that it seems to reinforce the notion that homophobes are just repressed closeted homosexuals. In truth, I have a hard time empathizing that someone who isn't sexually bent a little bit could care if someone was gay, but some homophobes have to be, right?
