(67,782 posts)....my gay brother is married. Married or not wasn't what everyone griped about.
But the issue at hand that I'm so pissed off about is that the OP was commenting about the Rachel Maddow segment the other night, and in his/her post called Miranda his "boyfriend". He was immediately attacked by several people here for being a homophobe for using the "politically incorrect" term of "boyfriend".
Unfortunately those that attacked him/her didn't even bother to check to see WHY he used "boyfriend", it was just too convenient to attack.
However, it actually was Maddow herself who referred to Miranda as Greenwald's "boyfriend". I didn't see any condemnation of Maddow for calling him Greenwald's "boyfriend".
And, sadly, those who attacked in a New York minute have now disappeared into the shadows instead of owning up to their error and apologizing for calling the OP a "homophobe" and other things.
Alas, this is the state of DU these days - attack, attack, attack without being fully and correctly informed.
