Is Linus homophobic?

So I watched the latest WAN show and I just cringed at the "homo" and "full homo" phrases.

It's like you view gays as subhuman and being gay is only worthy of ridicule. Do you have no capability to put yourself in other people's shoes at all?

You've really got a primitive Russian mentality going on here.

I don't see how their homo jokes were offensive at all.

"Full homo" is a colloquial term used to imply that a relationship is sexual rather than platonic.

 

The "homo" part means that the relationship is between two members of the same sex, so while adaptations could exist that are appropriate for use with a member of the opposite sex, I didn't need to use them because Slick is male, and I am male.

 

It's about like any other joking around that friends (of same sex, opposite sex or anywhere else on the spectrum) might do. I've said similar crap to girls too, and no one cares about that. As long as everyone involved is comfortable with kidding around in such a manner, then it's all between consenting adults, and everyone else can just move right along.

 

If anyone was offended, then two things:

 

1. I'm sorry your feelings were hurt.

 

2. Lighten up.

Everyone has known from the beginning, that Linus is clearly a gay man with a wife and child.  He is gay for computer hardware, and if you can't accept that, then leave.

We all love Linus, and support him in every way.

He hides his homosexuality for computer hardware by having a wife and child. He also made a brolationship with Slick, as to imply he only likes guys as friends.

Accusations like this piss me off.

 

It's like when crazy feminist types go around calling people misogynists because someone made a joke about making a sandwich.

Not really, at least not to me. I'm in a relationship with this lovely wide hipped Japanese/Scott-Irish woman that I love dearly, but I get called "homo" by some of my gay friends out of jest. We joke about things. It's funny, really. Some person who isn't even the "target" will go off like "You shouldn't say faggot it's offensive!!!!1111!!" when it has nothing to do with their lifestyle. While someone who is actually homosexual (at least not someone uber sensative) will say phrases like "You faggot" all the time. Haha, they are just words and I love my gay and bi friends dearly. People need to stop self inserting themselves to play victim and grow up.

 

As the late George Carlin used to say, words are just words. It's humans that give them meaning. Words aren't offensive, people are.

Why do people have to cry so much over simple words? Get over it, as well as yourself. It's not like he's out there killing gays.

If you really want to protect gays why don't you go do some activism against the way they are treated in places like the middle-East and Africa. You know, where they are beaten and burned to death for being gay? Because compared to that, saying "no homo" or "full homo" doesn't sound so bad, does it?

 

Besides, even my gay friends will say something is gay if it's stupid or they don't like it, or call someone a fag.

All you do is come on here and talk shit about religion. I looked at some of your posts and one of the posts is an anti-prayer rant and the other one is critical of religion.

 

With that being said,
