I knew, of course, that one of you would suspect I’m ‘sensitive.’ No. I’m slim. Always have been.
But I loathe personal remarks - especially when doled out by Brits who have no understanding of Americans and think everything cruel that comes out of their posh mouths will be interpreted as amusing. The late great Christopher Hitchens wrote very eloquently at the end of his life at how he finally came to understand that Americans didn’t lack irony - they simply were too polite to acknowledge British loutishness.
Of course, I knew you wouldn’t be fat-shaming anyone. It’s dangerous, it’s cruel and takes enormous guts as well as stupidity. And if it’s a put-on, it plays right into my idea that Milo doesn’t do it himself - just encourages others to do it on his behalf.
I would do a simple google - something like “Gays hate fat people” and see what comes up. It’s fairly educational if the only gay guy you ever met was Mr. Rogers on television.

Like I said, you are sensitive about it. What’s that got to do with your being “slim”?
As for your other implicit assumption that people writing in favor of Milo must be from “red states” and thus know nothing about gays—I live in California—crawling with gays, and yes, I’ve known many, some for decades.
As for your statement that “Mr. Rogers was gay” I have no idea. I know he was opposed to gay marriage, was a minister, won a Medal of Freedom, and was married to one woman until his death, and raised two sons. So, perhaps you have information not available to the general public. I really don’t care if Rogers was gay or not.
