The Gay Thread

[Alex]

And I'm sure he would know. I'm not saying he isn't a hypocrite, I'm sure that with his homophobia he railed in general against all kinds of sexual "deviancy" and excessive public sexualization.

But no story I've seen mentions such and I'm curious to know just how loose the usage of the word hypocrite has become. Because even by the loose usage we last talked about (merely doing something you've said is bad makes you a hypocrite), the simple "anti-gay guy is a hypocrite because he masturbated in a park" doesn't meet that criteria (unless public masturbation is somehow being viewed as a homosexual act which seems differently offensive to me, and hugely more so if it is somehow being connected because he did so near children).
