HOMOPHOBIA IS GAY
You know, you probably worked it out if you’ve spent more than about thirty seconds at the website that I don’t actually like anything. Not one thing at all.
As a result, I try to avoid the outside world wherever possible, probably because I don’t like people. I would join a society, except for the fact that that would involve getting to know Other People, and I don’t like those. Often, I don’t like everyone and everything in the world, including myself.
Which kind of makes life difficult sometimes. Especially when I’m having a Bad Hair Day. Now I don’t want to be wrong, but doesn’t the phrase ‘Bad Hair Day’ mean when everything goes wrong, and not just your hair? Doesn’t it? I’m not wrong am I? Because I’m never wrong…
But one thing I’m definitely not wrong about is homophobia. Homophobia is so gay.
Now, I’ve never understood the word ‘gay’ as an insult. Not because gay men are stronger, or wiser, or weaker, or stupider, or anything like that. Gay men are just like straight men except… they’re gay. No problem. And I don’t understand why people are so scared of Gay men or Gay things.
Straight men would no problem with people doing the things that Gay men do… if they were beautiful women. And that’s just sexist. And gay.
STRAIGHT EDGE

You might as well wear a badge labelled “dull and boring” if you use the G Word as an insult.
Firstly, using ‘gay’ as an insult is as stupid, as racist, homophobic, and idiotic as using the world ‘Nigger’. To use ‘gay’ as an insult is kind of like admitting that you’re dull, boring, and can’t even think up decent insults. Why not use ‘nincompoop’ instead? Or ‘superloser’? Or even ‘Fucknut’? or ‘Monkeyboy’? They’re all almost as good as ‘Gonad’ and ‘Arsewipe’ as insults.
Besides, being gay is cool. And straight men have no problem with plenty of stuff gay people do : it’s just that when gay people do it they have a problem. Homophobes would have no problem with a girl sucking them off, so why do they get all upset if a guy wants to do it?
Homophobes probably think The Bible is pretty cool, and should be filed under ‘History’ and not under ‘Fiction’ or ‘Thought Control’. Now, if anything’s Gay (whatever the negative connotations of ‘gay’ are), it’s Religion. So there you have it : anyone who uses the word ‘gay’ as an insult is dull, boring, probably believes in the Bunny Jesus and thinks filling my inbox with redneck rubbish rock.
Man, Homophobia is so gay.
