      Don’t forget gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But yeah, super super gay…

          I’m reading it as “he’s a gay Republican, and Republicans don’t like gays, and in fact are actively trying to make the lives of gays a living hell, so it is entirely appropriate to rub his face in it”.

          It’s the same reason I refer to Lady Graham the way I do, since it’s an open secret that he’s a huge closet case, but politically, he openly, loudly, and consistently supports legislation and judicial nominees who are extremely homophobic. I want Lady Graham to feel as deeply, profoundly miserable as he has made the entire non-heterosexual community feel at many, many points over his political tenure.

          We must be intolerant of intolerance… and, in the interest of making him and other shitty people like him feel the societal revulsion against them in a very personal way, though I realize it walks very close to the line, I’m completely willing to rhetorically stab a shitstain like him in the back with his own bigoted daggers.

            We’ll simply have to agree to disagree on that, as I see shaming anyone for being gay as a pretty shitty thing to do, regardless of context.

              I wasn’t shaming him for being gay. I was poking fun at his overreaction to being outed that had a Streisand effect and publicized it more than Gawker ever could.
