“I don’t understand why folks are so sensitive about this. The only people that understand the “joke” are a bunch of snickering faggots and the media elite that hang with them.”
Ignoring this kind of snickering ALWAYS makes it worse...taking the high road is not the answer...pointing out the gutter they are standing in is...you don’t get into it, you point DOWN at it...
This is how they work...make it derisive, use a term that makes people curious, make it so that it really mocks deeply, not just lightly...we can ignore it...you know, like they ignored the Tea Parties...how did that work out for THEM?
I don’t think we should ignore it, we should adopt it.
There are so many of us we can ruin the word for them.
