7. I'm appalled
This "toy" is a snide and ugly representation of gay males.

Ok, it alludes to one individual, one that has our contempt for other matters.

Craig is a hypocrite, and has sullied himself with his cynical conservatism. He's the archetype of the self-serving republican

I don't care who he has sex with, that kind of bigoted witch hunt is the province of republicans. In truth, the ambush that snared him and brought him down is a perfect example of a morality law at it's worst application. I hate to see us, in our outrage at all things republican, to stoop to the tactic of clenis hunting.

I find the *numerous* gay slurs on DU to be distasteful and unworthy. I've read too many posts that equate to bigotry; mentions of "gender bending" or closeted homosexuality.

I don't see how such callous and unthinking comments can fail to hurt our gay brothers and sisters. It surely hurts our image as a progressive body.

No offense to the OP, she reported an event and left us to discuss our opinions. I am not suggesting that she supports this gay bashing.
