To say that the gay community is "hypersensitive" shows just how insensitive you are. Do you know what we have to put up with from assholes--even some who claim to be our "friends" every day? Walk a mile in our shoes and then tell us to chill.dbmcveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668438070767031617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809261791487205878.post-32956398090162211102010-06-08T12:35:46.033-04:002010-06-08T12:35:46.033-04:00You are a straight woman.

What if the critic was physically or mentally challenged and she called him a retard? Why is it that we still don't consider slurs against gays to be just as bad as racial slurs?DÁnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809261791487205878.post-74432600089648401592010-06-08T10:27:20.211-04:002010-06-08T10:27:20.211-04:00It's not about people not being perfect, it...It's not about people not being perfect, it's about her specific imperfection being that she clearly sees homosexuality as something to deride, deep down. If someone gets really mad and the nastiest word they come up with is "fag," how can you not take it personally if you're gay?<br /><br />If she'd steamed that he was a "wetback," wouldn't it be obvious she has issues with Latinos?<br /><br />I don't think the gay community is hypersensitive or even sensitive at this point. We take slurs all the time and don't react. But it's more enraging coming from someone we'd thought of as simpatico, someone we've supported.<br /><br />Plus she's not even apologizing or acting like she did anything wrong, so I'm not sure what the message is to apologize on behalf of the unapologetic, but I would call that undersensitive.<br /><br />Just my opinion. I understand she's supertalented and I loved her in this role, so it is frustrating when someone one likes behaves badly.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019970115004143708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809261791487205878.post-85136465146638291712010-06-07T20:57:21.301-04:002010-06-07T20:57:21.301-04:00The problem with today's society: no one wants...The problem with today's society: no one wants to say the truth or hear the truth...alice could have accepted the opinion as an opinion and thought "am I going to trust this ordinary person or the Tony Award committee?"<br />but she did make it bigger than it actually is, although she too had every right to her opinion back at the person.<br />God bless the people that don't lie.<br />And too bad for those who can't take it.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05257231738803272185noreply@blogger.com
