16. I definitely do get it.

I was on a jury recently that had some gay-bashing overtones in a thread and voted to hide the post because I considered it to be insulting and demeaning. I'm dealing with depression myself, so if anything I am probably over-sensitive to any triggers that might provoke someone to do something detrimental.

The photo is what it is--a man eating a corn-dog and it was run in mainstream media so it wasn't considered overly provocative. Unfortunately many added the sexual innuendo to the photo, even here on DU.

I will also emphatically agree with you that there is nothing wrong with being gay.

BTW, why have you assumed that I'm straight?
