In reply to the discussion: Dear Allies - Stop Using Gay As An Insult [View all]Behind the Aegis
(53,919 posts)23. Wow!
Seems you struck a nerve with quite a few people. How dare you "homosplain'"! I will say it has some positive effects and that is I now know who aren't really allies, no matter what fucking smilie or avatar they may use, and have seen some people actually take o heart what you have said. Good on you! YOU did what needed to be done and in doing so, educated some people and exposed others!
