Gay marriage wank? In MY community?
A secret about prop 8 is posted to this post in Fandom secrets. And we get twofold wank for it, too!

Wank #1: FOMG HOW IS THIS NOT A 'NOT-SECRET' THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FANDOM WHATSOEVER! This one is small, though, because the modly type froze the comments.

Wank #2: Gay is wrong. No u! No u! NO U! NO U! And that's all within the first three pages.

Also, liking het means you hate gay marriage. Srsly. And there's macros. And people loling over all the wank this caused. And there's also a thread of d'awwww.

I chose to post it here instead of fandom wank because almost all of the arguments were not fandom related. And there was even an argument about that, too!

She was using it as a pejorative, the same way everyone else does when they use it as a pejorative, "stupid" or "ridiculous" or "effeminate" or whatever. It was an insult, and a bigoted one, and something I would never have expected to hear from Doctor Who, and the fact that the episode was written by a gay man who clearly holds that particular character in extremely high regard as someone who can do no wrong makes it even worse.

	Really? Which episode? Not that I'm calling you a lying liar who lies about lying, it's just been a while since I've watched Rose episodes and I can't remember that one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aliens of London", near the beginning, during her conversation with the Doctor on the roof of her building, just before the spaceship comes falling past. The Doctor's whining about her mother slapping him, and she says something like, "You are so gay!" There was no reason for it, and the Doctor doesn't call her on it, and a lot of viewers complained but Rusty basically didn't give a shit.
