Irony, Ann Coutler, and Homophobia |
|
What I find even more shocking than the hate that has, once more, come out of Ann Coulter's mouth is the irony of the situation here on DU.
All these people are talking about how much of an evil person she is for her homophobia. In the midst of this "homophobia is bad" fest, we have so many people make the "mAnn Coulter" etc comments. Do you not see the irony, ne hypocrisy, of this? Do you not see that you are as bigoted as she is?
To all the transsexual members of DU, I apologize for these asshats making this comments. Please don't judge us all here by these people.

I heard a rumor that Ann walked off the stage and Mitt Romney gave her a couple of sugar cubes for a snack.

8. I don't think there is any bigotry in that. |
|
At least none that pops out at me immediately.

2. I'll second that sentiment, Goblinmonger |
|
True sexual and gender identity equality comes when we stop making fun of *anyone* for what their appearance or actions imply or tell.

3. Just another example of DU's secret shame |
|
Homophobia and transphobia are rampant around here, and any excuse that some people find to express their bigoted feelings is jumped on.
It is sad, pathetic, and shameful.

5. I can't stand Ann Coulter. I'm a lesbian. I don't think I've ever called |

her 'mAnn Coulter," but I know I've laughed when folks here do call her that. Thanks for your post and making me realize the irony and hypocrisy that I've been guilty of. Again, thank you very much. k&r

7. Thank you for saying this. |
|
At my age, I guess I shouldn't be surprised how many forget to turn the mirror toward themselves.
*sigh*

me that people call her that on this site in general, but to not see the obvious contradiction to do it when mocking her for homophobia is odd.

I've been known to try to correct it when I see it, but so many times that just starts a flamewar and no one seems to actually learn anything.
I want a magic wand, dammit!
I try to remember what someone told me once; "When you point your finger at someone else, which way are your other fingers pointing?"
Ah, well, when I become perfect I'll get to rule the world. LOL

I say it's a winner.

15. Thanks for posting this. |

I can't remember which DUer pointed out to me how hurtful snarky references to Coulter's gender can be, but I've never forgotten, I've never done it since, and I'll never do it again.

Bigotry is not condoned here. The best method to address these issues when you see posts that you think are bigoted would be to use the Alert button.
