Its not twisting words. Like I said, despite the roots of the word, its not a phobia.


Here is the Oxford English Dictionary's definition (the world's preeminent English language arbiter):


[LEFT]"Dislike of or prejudice against homosexual people"[/LEFT]


Diaz exhibits that.

Are decades of consistent good behavior canceled out by one mildly bad deed decades ago? (Yes, mildly bad. They didn't kill, assault, or steal from anyone.)

Is your youthful history so perfect? You never made a racially insensitive remark against whites?

Not that racism against whites will get you into trouble. Sarah Jeong tweeted tons of explicitly racist, hateful remarks against whites, yet the New York Times still kept her on: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45052534

Spew tons of hate on whites, get at job at the New York Times.

Wear blackface once, decades ago, branded for life.

Get over it; Ruben Diaz, Sr. ain't going anywhere for now. In fact the guy is doubling down.

You are inadvertently taking part in the war on straights because you desperately want to fit in with the disinformation that you digest from your TV set and local newspapers. It’s a petty fashion trend for bottom feeder NYer’s. Agree with whatever propaganda issue is plastered all over the inertnet and tv for the week so that people don’t call you racist or homophobic. An exact replica of Orwell’s two minutes of hate from 1984.

American citizens are granted the right to voice their opinions and there is nothing you will ever be able to do to stop it.

Jon Straightman: I want my son to grow up straight. I'm happy being straight and, I would like the same happiness for him but, if he's gay I still want him to be happy.

Liberal Militant SJWLGBTQPC Idiot Snowflake: Like, ohmyga, Jon is such a bigot. He is a homophobe, a transphobe and, a racist. He should want his son to be gay and, like totally abhor being straight for like ev-ver. Ohmyga, I hope he never gets a job. (NOTE: people around NYU and the Union Square sections of NYC routinely actually sound like this, thankfully it ain't all NYC).

Ok - but its 2019 right?
"Gay" doesn't mean "happy" any more either.
