Or how about: “I’m gay so it’s OK for me to misrepresent another gay’s point of view to feed my Twitter rage.”

No, Brian. I literally RT'ed your tweets so that people could see exactly what you said. So, are you defending Jimmy and Chelsea's casual anti-gay jokes, or not?

Sigh. You retweeted my tweet with an editorialized caption which falsely assumed my point of view. But that’s cool.

There is a long line of commentary on the issues with people telling others to "relax" or "calm down" when racism, sexism, anti-gay, anti-trans activity or comments are called out. That you are gay does not exempt you from the issues with doing so.

Ok. So I didn’t want to have to get into dissecting comedy with you, since you’re clearly a riot...but here it goes. Jimmy Kimmel, who is demonstrably pro-LGBTQ, uses a homosexually suggestive jab at Sean Hannity, who is demonstrably anti-LGBTQ.

I'm well aware of the "logic" behind such "jokes." It's lazy, it's not funny, and it is anti-gay because it continues the longstanding idea that being gay is a punchline. This is something
@meakoopa@LouisPeitzman and many, many others have discussed ad infinitum.1 reply 0 retweets 7 likes -

Imagine hating yourself so much you go around fawningly giving other people permission to use your identity as an insult.

But also, imagine hating yourself so much that you tweet something like this to someone you don’t know.

That is irrational. Imagine caring about the effect of words on other people — and then you might understand what Anthony and I are saying.

The theory is, the gay component is only pejorative for Sean, not Jimmy. It highlights the former’s homophobia and turns it into a weakness because saying it to Jimmy would just remind him of Ben Affleck’s sweet affection. Tl;dr I’m rubber you’re gluepic.twitter.com/inKCOZ4Gml
