I just don't think "hurry durr they're gay for each other" should be used as an insult, and that doing so is homophobic. Have fun on 4chan.

Uh oh, the person who's been claiming that being gay gives them a free pass to be homophobic for the last 2 hours is asking about my sexuality. I can imagine the "gotcha" you're waiting to spew at me if I say no.

I'm not going to answer that. It shouldn't matter. Bigotry is bigotry regardless of who's doing it, uncle ruckus. And everyone should be calling it out when they see it.

Bigotry is bigotry regardless of who’s doing it

Who gets to decide what is bigotry?

Do you get to tell the subject of said suspected bigotry that they should feel offended?

Do you get to tell black people they are not allowed to use the N word?

Words are power. You better make damned sure you aren't stealing.

Societal norms

I told you no such thing. I said that you were being homophobic. The listener decides if they want to be offended or not. Judging by this thread, a bunch of people were offended. Good job I guess?

Do you get to tell black people they are not allowed to use the N word?

Nobody told you you weren't allowed to do anything. You started whining that they were when someone pointed out your homophobia, but nobody ever said "don't say that" or "you're not allowed to say that" or anything like that.

You really haven't thought this through, have you?

You're right, it should be up to the gay version of a living embodiment of the "as a black man..." trope to decide for everyone

Maybe if I'd give it some more thought I would have come up with a brilliant rebuttal like quoting myself at you

We're at unsolicited advice now? Ok, try not to be so homophobic.
