It's just brain dead.

Now, believe it or not, I'm generally for being sensitive in one's language. The fact language is commonplace (e.g. being an "Indian giver", "Jewing" someone in a deal, "faggot" as synonymous for loser) doesn't mean it's acceptable.

But now it's insufficient to not be homopobic. You can't be "heteronormative" either:

"Some of the content was extremely heteronormative, and made BGLTSA members feel uncomfortable," [Harvard BGLTSA Co-Chair Jordan B. Woods] said.

Calling the comments heteronormative, according to Woods, means they implied that standard sexual relationships are only between males and females.

"Our position is that the comments weren't homophobic, but the content was specific to male-female relationships," Woods said.

And what did actress Jada Pinkett Smith say that was so outrageous?

"Women, you can have it all—a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career," she said. "They say you gotta choose. Nah, nah, nah. We are a new generation of women. We got to set a new standard of rules around here. You can do whatever it is you want. All you have to do is want it."

Really, now. With all the fucked up homophobia in the country, this empowered-feminist generalization that women are straight merits criticism?

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
