116. What do you mean by 'most of you'? Do you mean gay people? I'm just one guy.

Aug 2013

Calling people names and dropping insinuations about 'most of you' is condescending as hell. I support the OP because the OP is correct, I join the OP is saying 'fuck you' to those who play these McCarthyite games. I reject their entire way of thinking, their set of tactics and their petty, personalized mean kids style.
'Most of you'. Can you explain what that means? Also, explain why you feel the right to speak to me in that way. It is rude, arrogant, dismissive and perhaps homophobic. "most of you' is much like 'you people'.
Most of you. Wow.

It needed to be said. Thank you for saying it. Autumn Aug 2013 #1
