People are becoming more active in gay rights, hell, it's basically the Civil Rights movement all over again. You act as if gay bashing gets overlooked all the time and no one seems to fight against it unlike racism toward blacks, which is entirely untrue in this day and age. This thread is a perfect example. Blogs & News sources are already causing such a huge fuss over the homophobic comments made by Chris.
The funny thing is being a bisexual man myself I don't see any problem with what Chris said. You're making a huge deal out of nothing.

So are you telling me you CAN'T see the difference in how much homophobia is tolerated vs. racism? I already acknowledged that there is a gay rights movement, but IN GENERAL gay bashing is still MUCH MORE ACCEPTED than black bashing. Barring some redneck hick towns, you cannot get away with throwing the N word around on the regular. However, you can make "***" part of your regular vocabulary and most of the time no one will fight you about it or even look at you funny. THAT is the point. If the difference isn't glaringly obvious to you, then I don't even know what to tell you.
