thank you Skinner and mods for taking homophobia seriously

[ruggerson]

You said you would and you have.

And it makes this place more hospitable for all of us, both straight and gay.

Cheers!!!

3. That's the best thing I've seen all day!

Thank you, mods and admins!

4. I am not a member of your community

meaning that I am not GLBT and I don't post regularly in this forum.

Having said that let me say this: I was counting the days!

If that poster set it off for me, I can only imagine how this person impacted all of you.

Here's one from me!

:toast:

[Lint Head]

5. I am straight and I totally support the gay community.

Bigotry is dead!
:dem::grouphug:

[ThomCat]

9. I wish bigotry was dead.

But we can at least be happy that one bigot is gone. :P

[Vanje]

23. Bigotry may not be dead

but a little corner of has been tombstoned.

Huzzah!

[bullwinkle428]

6. Another straight GLBT supporter chiming in to say ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!

:applause:

[Zuiderelle]

7. Good. That was a hideous thread he posted today.

Good decision.

[MNBrewer]

8. I missed it

clue me in on the jist of it?

[Zuiderelle]

10. Well, it's gone now, but he made some statement about wanting a civil union too...

inferring that he was discriminated against because he couldn't get one, and he posted a grinning picture of Harvey Milk in the OP. Then he ridiculed anyone who objected to his "humor."

[MNBrewer]

12. Well, if he wants civil unions, he's welcome to them.

FULL MARRIAGE EQUALITY for EVERYONE is what I'm after. :)

[racaulk]

16. His use of Harvey Milk's picture was disgusting, offensive, and shameful.

Milk would roll over in his grave if he knew that his image was being used in conjunction with a thread that made light of equal rights for gays.

:grr:

[Zuiderelle]

17. Imagine if someone used MLK's of JFK's picture in a similar context.

I really don't think I've ever seen anything as offensive on DU as that OP.

[Yes We Did]

21. Oh....

I saw the headline... Figured it was something like that. Glad I missed it.

[AntiFascist]

11. Yeah!

His DU name sounded like: :puke:

[FLyellowdog]

13. Thanks.

[AlCzervik]

14. He's had that coming for a long time imo.

he won't be missed.

[Starry Messenger]

15. I am so happy he is gone!

I'm so glad I got off one final insult to my "favorite" poster! What an infamous a-hole he was. I hope you are reading this jerkwad! You are not fit to be scraped off Harvey Milk's shoes.

[Th1onein]

18. Can you say his name here?

eom

[Starry Messenger]

19. I'm not sure...but the link in the OP has his profile with the tombstone.

Should have his name.

[QC]

20. This is an encouraging development. n/t

[Clintonista2]

22. Yay!

[rpannier]

24. Don't remember seeing any of his/her/it/whatever's posts

Looks like I missed nothing of importance
Good riddance to bad rubbish

[tbyg52]

25. Glad I missed this, and thanks to Skinner and mods for handling it. nt

[Marrah_G]

26. That asshole should have been TS'd a long time ago

[Bluenorthwest]

27. I'm not big on dancing on graves, but

see me swril on the fresh dug mound, feet flying. Not just a jerk, but a coward.

[xchrom]

28. recommend and

:applause:

[TEmperorHasNoClothes]

29. ditto

Homophobes should be banished to the republican party where they'd fit right in.

[Jamastiene]

30. Is that one going to stay TSed though?

Glad to see them go, but I fear it will be reversed like a couple of others.

[racaulk]

32. Seriously!

There are three especially offensive "revolving door" tombstones that I can think off off the top of my head. I just hope this one STAYS gone.

[Mike 03]

31. Nice thread. I support the GLBT community 100% and I'm so happy to see that some effort has

been made to remedy the wrongs that have happened over the past.

[QC]

33. Is he back yet? n/t

[Solon]

34. Not yet, but give it time, the Admins have been surprisingly consistent...

in one area of moderation, after all.

[QC]

36. I'm thinking he'll be back within a week.

Still, a week off would be pretty stiff punishment for a mere homophobe around here, considering how quickly most are resurrected.

[jonnyblitz]

35. right. back and sporting a brand new Human Rights Campaign

avatar, snicker.....
