I have a special place in my heart for Phoenix Park.

It’s a fairly common (if somewhat homophobic) insult in the UK and in Ireland.

Deerfield (the US Ambassadors official residence) is also just a 15 minute drive to Farmleigh, the location where Pence met with an Taoiseach. And about 12 minutes of that is within Phoenix Park.

Between Kelly’s show mentioned above airing in 1958 and South Pacific’s “You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught” being from a 1949 musical, it seems we keep repeating the same old b/s homophobia/misogyny/racsim/... .
