    "hehe look at this shitty embarrasing fat chud, he shouldn't even leave the house"

    shit I've seen on this community, and isn't acceptable. Fatphobia is still really prevalent

          oh sorry I was saying an example, I don't have those views at all :((

          I've seen people who say that "the only thing that makes you ugly is if you have bad views" and I think it's just generally better to denounce people for their views rather than calling them ugly :///

            He’s not out yet. A lot of gay sex workers in DC post about him though and apparently he is known as lady g in their circle or something.

        There is a conspiracy theory that Lindsay Graham is gay because he doesn't have a wife. Apparently bring gay is bad. To add to that, there is a very unsubstantiated claim where some male escort came forward and said that Lindsay solicits sex under the name "Lady G". It's an attempt to emasculate Graham through misgendering and bringing up how icky it is to be gay.

        Call them out for their homophobia on reddit results in several downvotes from Democrats and a weak explanation of how it's actually ok to make fun of someone's sexuality because they support anti gay policy.

          said it to the other fella who painted it as a less outright-fabricated bit of anti-gay propaganda being put out by libs, and ill say it again here.

          thats uh... problematic in so many ways.

          ill elaborate though; regardless of someones hypocritical and asinine stance, you shouldnt make fun of their intrinsic being, let alone fabricate that quality in them so that you can make fun of it.

          pointing out hypocrisy is fine, misgendering because you dislike someone for being antigay is not. its a stupid harmful thing to do that only hurts the people youre claiming to be in support of.

          tldr: fucking libs are stupid assholes. thanks for the info comrade

      the only twitter take I remember from when all that business was trending was something to the effect of "hets: you should leave Lady G to us" which..... yeah...

      Not that there's anything wrong with how he looks. Just a flawless way to shut people like this up
