We're not attacking the OP, we're making fun of him because he fell for satire and then tried to pretend he didn't.

I'm just waiting on the part where I was offended by this. LOL. I'll leave you be, though, since you just ruined your argument by asking "why I made this thread", yet, you're the one who clicked and responded on it.

Just a question. So what if he was ? Does that mean he needs to seek help ? Help for what ? Having his own opinion on gay people ? As long as he keeps it to himself and doesn't let his beliefs dictate how he treats them if ever encountering one , why is that wrong ? What if it is his religious belief ?

It's not satire. The writer actually believes this. They aren't the only one either. As other posters have pointed out, this meme has been making it's rounds by other writers as well.

I honestly don't care, but I'm just trying to figure out what got this cat so triggered over virtually nothing.

Anyway, I've moving on from fragile and jams.

I'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic with JAMS. JAMS is a huge homosexual supporter.

To be totally fair, this magazine appears to be not a satirical site.
