What he said does not meet my standards for calling his speech misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, or racist.
Consider:
He did not say Jett didn't belong on the list because she's female.
He did not say there's anything wrong with being a lesbian, in fact he said he loves lesbians. In a creepy/pervy way, yes, but not in a homophobic way.
He did not say that Grandmaster Flash shouldn't be in the R&R HOF because he's black. That would be ridiculous on it's face. I'm sure he has no problem with Hendrix being in it, for example.
He did not say there's anything wrong with being transgender.
These words like racist and homophobic have specific meanings/criteria, and I'm sorry but his comments really don't objectively meet any of those criteria.
IMHO people should stop being so dang sensitive, because all it does is play into the hands of childish jackasses like Nugent who get off on pushing liberals buttons like this, whose real goal is to paint us all as snowflakes. I feel like we should be stronger than them, not let them bully us.
A better angle on this, in the article, would be to ridicule his sophomoric attempt to annoy liberals (along with presenting what JJ said, which was obviously awesome).
That said, I'm just another (mostly) straight white cis-male (who doesn't give much of a fuck what anyone says about me, because I know who I am) so there's a good chance I don't fully understand
