The funny part is that somehow, liberals can laud queers as being the very best of humanity, and then turn right around and use “gay” as a pejorative when speaking of people on the right. The premise of the original screed was to infer that so many republicans were hitting the queer hook-up site that it crashed. Of course it wasn’t true.
