Must have called him a c***s***er!

[familyop]

No. Lefties in other big cities complain about KC (and the whole state of MO) being the most “homophobic,” “racist,” etc. The announcer might have been repeating a line from a movie.

“I’m smart! Not like people say...like stupid! But smart!”

And I want respect!! :)

What a sad, tragic figure.

When Micheal hugs him at the mothers funeral and then looks at Neri...my body went cold.

He was gonna kill his own brother.

I think I was 16 and watching it for the first time and my girl said “he’s gonna kill his brother”

i said “nah, that’s not possible”

The Godfather taught me first how cruel the world can be.

Just wow

[nonsporting]

The wrong people are “ashamed” here. These filthy sodomites engage in abominable behavior that is truly shameful.

He referred to an unnamed location as “the fag capital off the world”.

[Luke21]

So what did he say?

[nickcarraway]

Keep out of it...that one is HARD!! I’ve wanted to BEAT my BIL to a pulp for yelling at my sister and making her cry. She called me hysterical like Connie did to sonny. My girl at the time wrapped her arms around my leg begging me not to go.

She was right to do it. Your sister lives in Jersey? You would have had t go through a toll both. And we all know what happens in those.

He called Kansas City one of the fag capitals of the world.

...and the people in San Francisco felt slighted?

LOL

And i’m a much bigger target.

Easy to set me up at the 118 garden state exit.

I used to think that scene was silly because it depended on so much going the way they wanted...

But that exit 118, that’s the one I’d use.

Barely any cars get off at it. Block the front of the toll, lock me in...and it’s over!

And he knew my temper. It was a setup!

[Defiant]

That’s a slur on KC, not on fags.

[fwdude]

And gays say they are so oppressed in society? Please!

[TalBlack]

Do you ever listen to Mark Simone on WOR?

EVERY situation in life or history is analogous in some way to something in Godfather 1 or 2.

Cincinnati Reds announcer Thom Brennaman said a homophobic slur between innings...

It was a homosexual slur, not a 'homophobic' slur.

For the same reason a racial slur is not a racist slur.

Having been to Montreal, I've said that was the lesbian capital of the world.

That's not a 'homophobic slur', it's just true.

Hopefully he doesn’t have to “take a knee” for the queer leaders. I could have told you what he said as I have watched or listened to every Reds game since 1968 but I don’t patronize MLB since they went full racist mode. Thom is a great broadcaster, as was his dad, I’m sure the blm BS sickened him too. I won’t miss him since I don’t care a fig about MLB or the NFL anymore.

According to fake news homos account for 15% of the population, so they must be everywhere. Three sexes, male female and freak.
