C'mon, man. And you're posting from Queerty. Their entire identity is based on getting upset at things. It's a website built on drama.
I'm a gay man who generally likes Chappelle. He's not my favorite, but he's fine. And I think the reactions to him are ridiculously overblown.
I'm not an ally, I'm a member. And I also think people need to seriously chill. I watched it last night with my partner, and he laughed all the way through the gay parts, too.
Don't like it? Don't watch it. Getting tired of the loudest and most sensitive people on the Internet constantly telling others, "LGBT people don't like it when you do X!" Hey, I'm LGBT. So are my family and friends. No one appointed these loud web people who are perpetually offended at all things. They appointed themselves. They don't ask me my opinion before they run around telling everyone else what it is.
And since I have much power invested in me as any Twitterati, I grant allies permission to not be bad people if they like Dave Chappelle.
