Hey Rich,

So if it wasn’t homophobic? Then the article was just crude, mean spirited, divorced from any relevance to his political positions, and poorly written? If so that is still a shitty thing to publish... then there is also the fact attacking a gay person for how they choose to come out, a deeply personal decision, is…

So it wasn’t homophobic, it was gate-keeping using in-group language and descriptions that most people wouldn’t recognize in context. That isn’t much better.

 Shut up, tomato. 

Homo here, and holy hell, am I beyond sick of Media Gays and their screeds about who is or is not Gaying the Right Way.

What an advanced nine year old he was. Also, he was in the military at a time when it would have affected his career, wasn’t he? I mean Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was not actually a good thing for gays in the military and didn’t he overlap that? I may misremember.

It was a bitchy piece and it is homophobic because the intent was to undermine Pete as a gay man by the author and the website. 

it’s none of his business. Let people be who they are, honestly. This rings like the arguments back in ‘08 that Obama wasn’t black enough. Ridiculous.

Is it possible that it’s maybe not outright homophobia, but still pretty shitty to criticize someone for not being gay the way you want them to be (politician or not)?

Well this gay man found parts of the article to be quite homophobic. Calling a gay man “Mary” in an attempt to degrade and belittle him is pretty textbook homophobia.

who took 33 years to come out because he fretted how it might affect his career

Mediocrity incarnate.

Is it possible that it’s maybe not outright homophobia, but still pretty shitty to criticize someone for not being gay the way you want them to be (politician or not)?

My opinion, since I don’t know the man personally, but he seems to have the not unique cocktail of: white privilege, mental illness, and money.

you’re doing the lord’s work in this comment section. thank you for your service

“Richie Incognito” sounds like the worst pseudonym ever.

Forget freaking race when talking about football players. We no longer have a way to tell if they are bigots, bully’s, or just fucked in the head.

So here we have a white man who threatened the lives of multiple employees of a business, and he was found to be in possession of firearms at the location.
