The Gay Thread

No, because I have no idea if you're fat (I have no idea what you look like, for a long time I thought that basketball player avatar you had was you). So for me, it'd be me saying "well, since you're so mean to fat people you must be fat yourself."

Besides, personally, the self-loathing gaybasher is not a person that increases my opposition to them, but rather tends to increase my empathy for them (while not lessening my disagreement). Which I think is the opposite intended result when someone says "and I bet he's queer too!"

For the record, Alex, I'm not a corgi.*





*Then again, we've met so the joke only half works. If at all.

You're not as cute and fluffy as I'm imagined then.

Twice as cute, half as fluffy
