Calling a homophobe gay isn't homophobia though, is it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

it's perpetuating the view that calling someone "gay" is somehow an insult.
