3. Not intending to be offensive, but I need to think this one out a bit.

I'm not sure about the recent image. What I'm not sure about is that it is people yelling "fag" at Putin. I think it's much different, the thought behind it is deeper, and can even see it originating from the gay community.

Now, the billboard is clear. It was homophobic. I don't question that.

I just think there was more intellectual thought behind the more recent Putin one.

I will always read responses as to why I am wrong in these areas and do feel I should put a bit more thought into it.
