Why isn't offense taken when Bill Maher on HBO's "Real Time" uses a homophobic slur jokingly?
I feel as if he speaks condescendingly toward and about gaypeople, almost contempteously. Maybe he's trying to prove how much of a STRAIGHT-up goon that he is. I can't believe "The Advocate" named him "Person of the Year". It's unphathomable! They might as well had deemed Mel Gibson the saint and good samaritan throughout the whole millenium.
Why do gaypeople get selectively offended? They do nothing when Donald Trump, Imus, and the like mentions something that will only seem to discredit the homosexual community. However, they get all bent out of shape when Isaiah Washingtoon mentions the F word. I mean, what's up with that? It makes me almost ashamed to stick for gaypeople, despite my being a lesbianwoman, as if gaypeople deserve everything bad that goons throw their way.
