as a gay man of the same approximate era, I don't find the need to label bigotry as anything. I'm not prosecuting him for a crime; if we agree it's bigotry that really should be all we need to know. I do not support repressing his or anyone else's free speech; in fact, I come from the school where having a bigot speak is actually a good thing, because it allows the rest of us to address his heinous words. That said, I do have an issue with sanctioning those words, something that prevented me from buying NY Magazine for many years, that has caused me to criticize the drama critics for allowing his filthiness to taint them and that certainly keeps me from clicking the website of some penny ante newspaper that has, for whatever reasons, chosen to give bigotry a platform.
