I really don't claim to understand my fellow LGBTQ'ers objections to him. It just strikes me how often Leftist think they are doing us some huge favor for... "supporting" us (if that's what you call it)... when they've on board for like, five minutes. Regardless, forgiveness is important and people can change.

Who was that guy who didn't support gay marriage for the longest, but then suddenly did, and we gave him a pass?

Oh yeah. The president.

The movement is young. I understand there is a movement on Groupthink that is after this guy. Personally I'm way more upset by what I got to read from other Jezebel posters in that…

I don't "hate" this site but I can relate. I am drawn to it because I feel it has co-opted the language of several movements in the name of "intersectionality," ostensibly as part of a "good cause," but in providing these movements very poor representation and at times outright misrepesenting them made them look…

Thank you for your support.

I have one thing to say about the term "fag hag."

I was introduced to this term through straight people. At least where I lived at the time, the implication was that a woman was so ugly she could only hang out with fags. Thereby, she was as bad as they were.

There were some women who through the goodness of their…

Thats a great story. :)

No problem, I appreciate you asking. This isn't much of an answer, more of a ramble. One thing you might want to read up on if you are interested is queer theory and in particular diva worship and drag culture. I think those topics say a lot about the history behind this.

I think the main thing we have to remember…

Well, I think we have to take it bit by bit.

Perez Hilton. Happens to be gay. Complete asshole. Other than happening to be gay, has approximately zero to do with gay culture outside of being the spark that burned down Carrie Prejean's Barbie mansion.Unless you consider criticizing Tile Tequila a legitimate avenue for…

I agree that it is a good idea for every group to consider their privilege. That is actually what I am up in arms about. The examples taken from this article are ridiculous and shallow. But the majority of straight posters do not have enough background to understand why. They seriously think that it is okay to talk…

But the good news is no straight girls got watered down drinks or slow service. A triumph against "gay privilege."

In pure physical terms I actually find him sort of hot. I assume I'm not his type (I'm a guy). But the fact that he's got the personality of a Bond villain kind of ruins it all. I don't feel any sympathy for him at all.

The point is a lot of the straight people posting do not have the perspective to comment on several aspects of this issue. The forest for the trees here, missing from the article, is drag queens and the role they play in gay culture. Not everything about drag queens is positive. But to the apply unmitigated feminist…

I always enjoy your posts even if we don't always agree. Thanks for sharing.

The thing about this is I have had this conversation with people. I have explained to straight women friends of mine that gay men can be misogynists and will hate them, no different than straight men. They tend to get it then, because a lot of them (being people from relatively liberal circles) up to that point tend…

Yes, we should have conversations about difficult topics. But how to have those conversations matters. And I would like to think that any topic on Jezebel that claimed to be spilling the "dirty little secret" of the Black community (to use your example) would be called out for its sensationalism.

I agree it needs to be discussed. But who it needs to be discussed with, and where, are what I question. And further, IMO, whatever needs to be discussed is not suitable for a headline like "dirty little secrets." I am horrified by this article and the responses to it. I can't imagine anything like this ever getting…

Very, very well said. I just can't imagine some of these comments ever being written about other minority groups and given a pass. Just taking on a few of the comments here:

"I had to let go of my Black best friend because..."
"For a long time I've struggled with Hispanics."

I hate to make that race comparison directly…

This is a very good point. I think that I wouldn't have much of an issue with this article if it were addressed differently. But the way it reads right now is like "White People, Its Time to Have a Conversation about Black Racism."

You are someone whose opinion on here I normally hold with some regard. I really can't agree with your assessment on this article. Imagine for a moment that this article had been written about any other minority group. Would you celebrate an article that claimed Black men disrespect women as a matter of course? What…

But what other opportunity are all these "gay allies" going to have to admit that gays are the woooorst?
