Homophobia here at DU. [View All]

[ThomCat]

A number of people have posted about how GLBT people are shutting down debate and excluding straight people from threads. Personally I don't see it. What I do keep seeing is,

1. We (GLBT people) are all too sensitive. We need to lighten up.
2. We should shut up and wait until after elections to speak up or we'll be responsible for the loss.
3. We should listen to our straight "allies" and let them tell us how to act.
4. We should let our straight "allies" tell us what's homophobic and what's not.
5. Homophobic people are really gay, so it's all our fault we're hated.
6. Our equal rights are just a "special interest."
7. We choose to be gay, and now we're just choosing to be difficult.
8. Straight men have some reason to fear being raped in communal showers by brawny gay men.
9. Every bad person in the news is secretly gay.

Did I miss any of the major themes?
