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-----.

STILL LOTS OF GAY JOK

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.

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.
