It was a homophobic troll and they are banned.
You did well. Rather than hearing complaints, you deserve a thank you.
3 different juries, all 7 on each voted to hide.
Thank you.
And thank you EarlG for the fast ban.

Thanks juries and EarlG.
I was on one of the juries and was pretty sure it would be 7-0 but sometimes you never know so was very pleased with the results.

Well done juries (including any who were summoned on posts that were calling this troll out and left them there. Including mine.)

So when they say they are repulsed by gay people, what they seem to be REALLY saying is that their own personal hygiene is so bad, that the idea of 'getting it on' with another 'dude' when that other dude 'naturally' has bad personal hygiene (doesn't EVERY real man/dude have bad personal hygiene???) is an idea they find un-sexy.
