Maybe it's just me, but Republicans having two daddies seems kind of woke
Please explain the joke to me, because I don’t get it.

Jokes that treat being gay as bad are themselves homophobic, yes - they do not reclaim the word, they perpetuate hatred. You’re welcome to make those jokes - I’m not stopping you by calling out your internalized homophobia.
You can also reclaim any words you want to. Nothing wrong with that.
lol, the idea that I’ve said there is something wrong with being gay or being called gay is rich.
Yeah, it is. It reinforces the idea that there is something wrong with a gay homophobe being gay, rather than the problem being that they are a homophobe.
As a “joke” it treats being gay as derogatory. You’re welcome to make shitty homophobic jokes if you want to.
It’s not just the top/bottom part that’s problematic, it’s the entire post. The punchline is “Trump and Elon are gay for each other, isn’t that funny?” which centers the idea that it would be bad or wrong for them to be gay for each other, perpetuating the conservative stereotype that there’s something wrong with being gay.
calls out a post for being homophobia topped with an extra serving of homophobia
less upvotes than someone who thinks “haha gay” isn’t homophobic
😒
Thanks for trying.
Imagine your coworkers being able to vote on whether you can go to the bathroom 😒
Understandable, thanks!
