    Oh it is 100%. Democrats stopped using “gay” as a pejorative like 25 years ago. We all agreed not to anymore.

    Basically, when Idiocracy came out with the line “You’re fucked up…you talk like a f*g, and your shit’s all ret*rded”, we realized that there’s no way a better insult could be crafted around sexuality or disability, so we all gave up.

      The amount of homophobic rhetoric I’ve seen used to describe Trump and Putin is really contradicting this statement.

      Democrats love homophobia if they can justify it as “we’re saying homophobic things but only to homophobes therefore it’s okay! It’s tactical homophobia, not actual homophobia!”

      (To be clear, fuck both Trump and Putin, they’re monsters, but saying shit like “Trump just wants to suck daddy Putin’s cock” is homophobic.)
