	That's pretty typical for this group, actually. Most of them are incredibly homophobic, and seem to believe that disagreement with homophobia is a vicious, violent attack on their FREE SPEEEEEEEEECHHHHHH (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hm, yes. I actually had the 'discussion' with someone the other day about how no, it's not infringing on peoples rights to want them to stop using 'fag' casually. She seemed to think it was gonna hurt their feelings not to be hateful. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	What are the chances that they add the old gem of "I'm not homophobic, since I'm not afraid of gays. I just want them to die/keep their deviancies behind closed doors/stop polluting our national purity."? I think pretty high. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Feeling attacked is one thing - I live with people who think that me holding hands with my girlfriend is an infringement on their right to pretend that gay people don't exist.

But implying that people exist who hate people just for being straight so much that they are more psychotic and violent than homophobes have shown themselves to be over and over again, to the point of actual physical violence and murder...that's a new one for me, and one I could have done without. It made me so sick and angry I was shaking.

I have to live my entire life with the knowledge that if I say or do the wrong thing at the wrong time in front of the wrong people, I might be beaten or killed for it. I live in a red state in the midwest, it's not very theoretical here. Someone co-opting that fear to make a vile point of false reversion in a joke, I can't even.

	Yep, pretty much. They have so little regard for gay people, they actually think that disagreement with their views is worse than us getting physically attacked or killed. (Reply to this)(Parent)
