The Gay Thread

No. To put a fine but pertinent point on it, it's the type of behavior you're supposed to be avoiding. ("you're" as in "you straight folk").


Not all gays see it this way, but I do. Black people can use the "N" word all the damn day long, and I can say "fag" and "that's so gay" with abandon. And I can call Andrew Shirvell a mincing fairy faggot because he behaves so stereotypically like one. But perhaps it's less pc if straight people do the same.


Gays have a certain licence. Oh, I admit it reeks of hypocrisy and double-standards and is certainly far from politically correct. But I for one am not one to adhere to pc uber alis.


Perhaps it takes one to know one - but when gays say Shirvell is a fag, I just take that as authoritative rather than bigoted. Straights' Mileage May Vary.

And yes, for the record, I think that Shirvell is a closeted homo. BIG TIME. And I got that from watching the Daily Show segment, not just because he had a bizarre blog. When you are gay, you are really, really attuned to this stuff. It isn't meant as a slight that he's gay, it is meant simply to show that he's a hypocrite.
