| I know this is an unpopular sentiment these days, but I think he should not have apologized. But everyone is terrorized by the everyone's-both-an-oppressor-and-a-victim mentality. I think everyone spends entirely too much time apologizing. We are allowed to insult people, especially when it wasn't intentional. We are allowed to make mistakes and have a past. I don't know a heckuva lot about Mr. Rainbow, but I think everyone should get back to living their own life. And damn, I wish people would start teaching the old "sticks and stones" rhyme again. There are real problems and injustice in the world; let's save the drama for that stuff. PS The Advocate became insufferable and I cancelled my subscription 10 years ago. I can be proudly gay without being taught how to think properly. |

| "There are real problems and injustice in the world" What are you saying here? That racist words are not an injustice and do not cause real problems? |

| What are you saying here? That racist words are not an injustice and do not cause real problems? In this context, of course, we mean both racist words and gender slurs like "tranny." The rest of my message didn't go through somehow. Probably just as well, because it wasn't very cheery. I'll try again later. Or maybe I'll just go have a drink or 10. The ugliness coming from this group right now is very disturbing. |
