In my latest post to the Abortion Discussion Megathread, I asked for clarification on your objection to my "It Gets Better" reference, however uncomfortable that might be for both of us.
While going through random videos looking for ones to length, dead, and thumbnail, the sidebar for "Newest Controversy Talk Posts" produced what looks like an answer.

I'm assuming (since you asked me to work it out for myself), that the charge is perpetuating homophobic culture with the tone of my reference. Essentially, that my crass tone wasn't attacking the absurdity of homophobia (funny jokes), but was presented as tacitly accepting of a culture that is oppressive to LGBT, and implicitly suggestive that the problem isn't that culture, but the sensitivity of LGBT youth to criticism (destructive).

If so, then I hope what little you know of me is enough to recognize this was absolutely not my intent. As I mentioned above, I had already posted that reply before coming across your (rather insightful) Sift Talk post.

Thanks to your avatar I now know what a decapitated gay nun looks like.

It's an emotionally-charged issue, so I know how easy it is for a discussion to devolve, especially on the Internet. I'd normally steer very clear of it, but somehow I feel like The Sift is a "safer" place to attempt a discourse, even knowing that my position is probably the contrary one in this community. Rarely have I come out of an ideological discussion on the Sift without having something new to consider, even if my overall position is unchanged.In reply to this comment by hpqp:
Hello! I just wanted to say that I appreciate the discussion you've launched (and by daringly agreeing with the infamous bk33 no less!), and would like to continue, but it will have to wait a bit because it is 2:30 am over here (CH) and I just spent the last hour wading through my comments looking for what I thought was a long debate on the subject (the Sift search seems not to be working), but so far I've only found this. I'll get back to you in a day, and I look forward to seeing how the discussions develops!
