1. Wow. zingers galore. And a teachable moment I'll accept with apologies and an asterisk:

Its the very same thing when LGBT can call ourselves names, especially the "F" word.
And it only tears any heterosexist down when it is hurled with divisiveness and self-righteousness.
I'm here as someone who slept under a fucking bridge for a month before I found a kind older gay man to take me in, to save my life. I'm PTSD'd and haunted by the Fred Phelps fuckery that still haunts my nightmares.
No manner of deciding that one way, one religion, my way Trumps all others results in harmony.
I'm going to stretch this out even a little further with this:

Because extremism starts with one immature fuck criticizing and belittling another.

2. "Leave the U out, because God knows they will."

Great finish.

3. That Michael Eric Dyson clip deserves its own post. He was excellent.

4. The word had no more meaning than bastard

to me but because it affects others more intently I never use it or allow its use in my presence. It's a 'nothing' word so I guess your reaction is where the pain comes from.

5. To me, it's not a nothing word, it's a heavily loaded word. But I get what you mean.
