insulting gay jokes

I WISH I ULD NCEL MATT DAMON. IT'S OUTRAGEO TO JOKE ABOUT HATEFUL GAY SLURS 2021.

The terview first me to my attentn a seri of tweets that alleged Damon had admted referrg to gay men g a homophobic an age when people manipulate realy by takg ments out of ntext or makg them up out of whole cloth, I was skeptil. What I read was even worse than what the Twter mob had revealed s 140-character the past few months, while eatg a meal wh his fay, Damon ma a joke and referred to a gay man as a “f-----.

She went to her room and wrote what he lled a “treatise” on why ’s wrong to e that word to refer to gays.

”Two flags tell the story:Even small towns are creasgly welg to LGBTQ people like meSo we’re clear, the "f-slur" is a hateful term ed by people to mean gay men. It is equently nnected wh the threat of vlence – like when a bunch of thugs thump baseball bats on the si of their tck and scream  as they drive by a gay man.

STILL LOTS OF GAY JOK

Opns your box:Get the bt sights and analysis livered to your boxWhat mak Damon’s latent homophobia so much worse than jt g a gay slur is his apparent belief that revealg to a newspaper would not be a problem for eher his reer or the movie he is promotg. The not so subtle subtext is that the public will not give a damn that he ed a homophobic slur to refer to gays. Anti-gay slurs should be tabooI have to wonr whether Damon would have been as fortable nfsg that he the “N-word” when makg jok about Ain Amerins.

And there are well-documented s of vilently anti-gay statements om celebri like Mel Gibson, 50 Cent, Blake Shelton and Joy Reid – an MSNBC mentator who was recently given her own the thor of the lumn which Damon’s terview appears, Jonathan Dean, reunts the offensive admissn but wraps a puff piece that pats Damon as an artist-hero on a missn to save Amerin cema … while drsed “down a T-shirt and open shirt. ” For God’s sake, a big celebry jt admted that he ed a homophobic slur to refer to gay men and the thor is more terted Damon’s fashn choic than askg him how he thks that’s Schultz:'To affirm bigotry is to grow :' Fears, memori and hop for the future durg Pri MonthNone of this is OK. It’s tough disverg that someone we thk is an ally is actually part of the problem that mak our liv ls long as anti-gay smears are met wh anythg ls than nmnatn and ser repercsns, as a untry we will ntue to send the msage that is fe to treat members of the LGBT muny as unservg of the same rpect and equaly as everyone headle that preces Damon’s terview asks the qutn: Is Hollywood “A-lister” Matt Damon “one of a dyg breed?
