Jeez. The woman's doing well at making a living for herself by using her talents. She deserves to be where she is.

that these newly uncovered comments are NOT hers, that her blog was hacked. As long as Joy is not lying about that, and I've seen no evidence to date that she is, she'll be fine... this will all blow over.

One of the most recent, and apparently most damning, screenshots tweeted from @Jamie_Maz includes this statement.

“most straight people cringe at the sight of two men kissing” and “adult gay men tend to be attracted to very young, post-pubescent types.”

I realize the climate has changed, but IS this homophobic? Indelicate maybe, but It just seems to be a fact to me. I don't know the context but can't see how that would make any difference.

What am I missing? Happy to have my consciousness raised.

Also I don't know how somebody could claim that most straight people cringe at seeing two guys kiss.

which isn't kids by my reckoning. and quite frankly I don't know ANY straight man, at least of a certain age, who isn't uncomfortable seeing two guys kiss. Do you see this as necessarily homophobic? Personally, I'm quite uncomfortable seeing graphic sex, of any type, in the media. I guess I've got some kind of problem, too. Hmmm. Going to have to think about this more.

Including LBGT people. Including people who knew her at the time the posts were supposedly created. Including members of DU.

On the other side there's Fox News, Brietbart, Wikileaks & Glen Greenwald. None of whom I'd trust to keep my fake houseplants alive for a week.

She doesn't have to do anything I would like her to do. Just saying what I would like to see.

What I think of the situation is largely irrelevent to the rest of the world, it will keep doing what it does. Just putting my discuss on a discussion board that is all.
