1. What exactly does a "homo" look like? (nt)

on edit: pinkpops originally had the statement "and he looks like a homo" at the end of this post. Thankfully it was quickly edited out.

And yeah, after what happened today I'm fuckin' touchy.

6. Bauer is an odd fellow
He occasionally directly answers email to his pro-life organization and I was able to get him to concede on a number of issues, like not separating right to life from right to a decent life through health care for all, and living wages for all. I was stunned. I later read that Al Franken quite likes Bauer personally, so his responses made sense to me after that.

7. sorry...
you call it touchy-touchy

A lot of us think "he looks like a homo" is insulting on multiple levels.

First, the word is a slur against gay people, and you shouldn't use it on a progressive message board and not expect some feedback.

Second, and even worse, is the notion that "looking gay" (whatever it means) is something to be used as an insult.

Fuck touchy touchy - grow up and stop using adolescent slurs.
