I'm getting the idea from these tweets that those idiots under the tarp and so forth are being mocked as "gay" -- i.e. the tweets are putting them in homosexual "sexual situations" in order to tease, mock, debase, and snark at them, because the take away is supposed to be "gay = bad." They're not "manly." They're idiots because they're gay, or they're idiots AND they're gay....but there's GAY up in there, and it's in there to make fun of them.

Or am I missing something here?

I'm not happy with this line of argument being praised here, but I've been in the minority a lot, lately.
