Another post was hidden 4-3 and was homophobic. One of the ones voting to leave stated: The poster doesn't equate wearing women's clothes with being gay that I can see. The comment isn't particularly funny, but its no worse than most of the others on this thread. However, that is exactly what did happen, but the adding of "not worse than others" pretty much sums it up as far as what it takes for some to hide bigotry.

Oh, and if you remember our conversation from the other night, a recent thread is a perfect example of that discussion. Again, another example of bigotry getting a pass.
