SO up at the top of my page this morning I see this.


(1) Insulting a candidate (or a candidate's husband) by calling them/implying they are gay is insulting to LGBT*.* because it implies it is something wrong, to be avoided, or degrading.

(2) Posting this kind of thing to DU is insulting to the LGBT*.* membership because it is not only degrading LGBT*.* but doing it blatantly to our faces.

(3) Doing it in a place that the moderators (those at least that aren't biased) can't control is unconscionable.

(4) Doing it in an anonymous way is especially unconscionable.

(5) To whoever posted this: fuck you.
