1. Good one!

[Hortensis]

2. What's not to understand about what's wrong with LGBTQ bigotry?

Exploiting bigoted attitudes against others to smear Graham isn't okay.

Sheeze!

[elleng]

3. OK by me to delete 'fainting couch,'

but I would say 'too bad he was rescued.'

[msfiddlestix]

18. ??? are you referring to "fainting couch"?

if LG was known to be hetero and the euphamism was used, would that begarded as bigoted?

I have LGBQ family members, they're not offended.. Should they be?



I'm just trying to keep up.. thanks in advance.

20. Yes, it would still be misogynistic and homophobic

4. +1

Thank you, Hortensis.

5. My gay daughter and her girlfriend say much worse about dear Lindsey.

I can not even repeat it here.

[Hortensis]

22. Lol, our gay neighbors too. But they're white guys, and what they cannot

do is call him "the N word." It's privileged, in the same way yours feel they are regarding Lindsey.

Everyone would recognize it if Lindsay were a black man described as clinging to his watermelon.

Or if he were a Jew clinging to his "Benjamins." (Btw, didn't some Democratic congressman actually say that one right out in public? Not 60 years ago but recently?)

And, as some are pointing out, it's of course also misogynistic.

23. So what?

I'm also a lesbian, and I never use homophobic or transphobic language, because I'm not a bigot, and I don't have internalized homophobia.

Being gay doesn't give one a pass to be homophobic.

6. For someone who has been out of the loop for years, I don't understand the claim of

bigotry. Please enlighten me.

8. I think it refers to the rule

that we can't say hurtful things about people that are actively working to murder us.

[AZLD4Candidate]

9. I'm just asking what the hurtful thing was.

[GPV]

12. The issue is using female related imagery to disparage a possibly gay man, but really, I think those

antiquated notions of vaporish females are just as damaging to women, but no one ever seems to notice that.

[AZLD4Candidate]

13. I never knew what a fainting couch was until this post.

I had to look it up on urban dictionary.

To be honest, after the damage the human sucker fish has done in his time in Congress, no insult towards Graham is too low in my eyes.

[obamanut2012]

26. So, is it okay to call Condi Rice a racial slur?

Sooooooooooo glad to know soneone who ran for office thonks it's AOk to use bigoted language against someone they don't agree with.

Wow.

[newdayneeded]

15. I guess guys never faint

[obamanut2012]

24. I do, misogyny is the root of homophobia and transphobia

[Emile]

10. Being gay is not something to shame or embarrass someone with.

[AZLD4Candidate]

11. You need to explain to me where the shame or embarrassment is.

I'm sorry. . .this is pure ignorance speaking here. I don't know where it is in the OP.

[msfiddlestix]

25. True, however being a hypocritical Gay Lawmaker, is something to hame and embarrass him with.

A fucking asshole happens to be gay, but supports SCOTUS members who deny gay rights in second, but first let;s go after Women's Rights.

Seriously... he doesn't get shamed enough in my view, not about being Gay, but about denying rights to those who are and supporting bigots as court justices.. please explain how he should be spared?

[AZLD4Candidate]

7. I thought he survived by clutching pearls and grasping at straws up on his cross.

[Treefrog]

14. Well, looks like you caught right on.

[obamanut2012]

28. Jesus, so you think it's okay to use lgbt slurs againt GOP

I'm gay, so explain to me why I should think this is okay? Because only a bigot is okay with bigoted language

[obamanut2012]

27. Jfc and you ran for elected office

Why do you think that is okay.

[Submariner]

17. Lindsey deserves whatever hell he is going through

If he has had suicidal thoughts after what he did, letting draft dodger Trump belittle his so-called "friend" former Captain and P.O.W. John McCain, then I hope those thoughts are scary and haunt until he's in his grave.

[doc03]

19. I will just say who would rescue him? nt

[obamanut2012]

21. Ah, homophobia and misogyny for breakfast

Seriously? You thought this was a good idea?

And, before y'all attack me: the root of homophobia and transphobia is misogyny.
