Gay’s problem isn’t wh Louis CK.
Gay’s problem is wh people not dog as she and her sister slds mand, to hate him, to punish him, to force him to perform acts of ntrn that they would impose. How dare people s there and lgh at this man whom Gay mands be shunned and hated?
Much as slds like Gay have anoted themselv the keepers of the fah, the verdict was . And Gay n’t stand that the “we” won’t abi her fury, won’t do as she mands them to is paful to wns the faiar narrative of transgrsns g to light, the perpetrator maybe facg opprobrium and before long, plottg a “eback” where all is seemgly fiven. Gay got what she pretends to ask for, the judgment of people outsi the mob that follows her lead, and they renred their verdict: Louis CK paid the price for the wrong he did, and now they’re lghg at his jok aga.
