Perhaps the words don’t mean what you think they mean.

This is not calling them gay as an insult. If it were saying “they are so gay” meaning “they are so bad” then yes. But this is drawing parallels between their behavior and that of gay people in an ironical way in order to highlight their hypocrisy. And frankly to taunt them.

So calling people gay in order to taunt them isn’t homophobic

Either you are being disingenuous or you are just not very bright. Either way, have a nice day.

I just don’t think “hurry durr they’re gay for each other” should be used as an insult, and that doing so is homophobic. Have fun on 4chan.

Uh oh, the person who’s been claiming that being gay gives them a free pass to be homophobic for the last 2 hours is asking about my sexuality. I can imagine the “gotcha” you’re waiting to spew at me if I say no.

I’m not going to answer that. It shouldn’t matter. Bigotry is bigotry regardless of who’s doing it, uncle ruckus. And everyone should be calling it out when they see it.

Bigotry is bigotry regardless of who’s doing it

Who gets to decide what is bigotry?

Do you get to tell the subject of said suspected bigotry that they should feel offended?

Do you get to tell black people they are not allowed to use the N word?

Words are power. You better make damned sure you aren’t stealing.
