No because then these writers would actually need to stop looking at him as the symbol of everything that is soooo wrong in this world and actually acknowledge that he is a person who has had struggles and has overcome them and used his persuasion to help spread a message of tolerance. And it is so much easier and…

So you get to minimize his success? Cool. I got some hate to dish out on the interwebz for all the people I knew from HS that accomplished more than me!

I think that is one way of looking at it. But it is turning into one of Jez's new favorite things to bitch about.

Yea to be fair she is definitely still " a provocateur ...with a haughty absence of fucks."

Last night, in the big finish of a performance at the annual Straight White People Give Each Other Awards for Doing Black Music About Gay Rights Better Than You Convention

yes I just read the articles you posted. Some messed up stuff, I can totally get not digging her for that but like you said that doesn't seem to be Jez's issue with her.

Woah! I had no idea about any of these things. It is making more sense now.

How exactly is he racist? Honestly that is what I took from it. Because of things like this:

I see your point. But how have they not amplified the voices of the gay community? Is it their fault that "Same Love" resonated so well? I hesitate to ever call them bad allies because of their race and orientation. They cannot control those things anymore than the people in the communities that would have them be…

No one is saying forgive and forget! But I will happily say don't punish straight white people who had nothing to do with those horrific acts. Especially those who would stand by you!

this gif is perfect for this thread

I mean in a perfect world it wouldn't take a white straight dude to get SO much attention for civil rights issues. But in a perfect world people wouldn't be such raging dicks about white straight people standing up for civil rights. It makes me tired

Kinja has been doing this to me all day
