In the thread about gay marriage in IMHO, I got this totally half-assed piece of snark from you. > [@A new slant on gay marriage?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-new-slant-on-gay-marriage/654820/10): > > Um, yeah, where’s the controversy? > > Who the hell DOESN’T think homosexuals should be a normal part of society? > [@A new slant on gay marriage?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-new-slant-on-gay-marriage/654820/49): > > The OP for one. Oh wait, this time it’s his “friends” who are against homosexuals. It never ceases to amaze me how people can people can put themselves up as being such experts on me and my life. And it never ceases to amaze me what incredibly fucking stupid things they say about me when they do. **Eyebrows** , let me educate you. I posted this topic because I had not heard this theme until recently. I am genuinely interested in the responses of my fellow Dopers, and there have been some very good ones. With the exception, of course, of your response. Yours isn’t even in the same zip code as accurate; it simply exists to point out why the SD’s masthead reads: > [@](#): > > Fighting ignorance since 1973 > (It’s taking longer than we thought) In the future, if you want to put yourself up as an authority on me, at least do me the common decency of checking with me first. If you’re not willing to do that, then just fuck off and don’t spout your ignorance out for the world to see. I would have provided a little more vitriol, but it’s been a long week, I’m tired, and an ignorant little dipshit like you just isn’t worth any more effort on my part.

To be fair, some of those posts are pretty old and now maybe ol’ Clothy doesn’t think of homosexuality as “deviant sexual behavior.” I’d like to give him a chance to explain if his views have changed since 2004 when he posted that, or since errrrmm… 2010… when he said homosexuality is a choice and people choose to deviate from the normal sexuality. I’m not holding my breath here but still let’s give him a chance. ---

Acceptance of deviant sexual behavior? So… a woman is in the hospital, fading fast: organs failing, peripheral nervous system shutting down; and her husband is about to enter the ward to hold her hand as she goes, after 57 years together. Hold it Gramps - you and her better not have engaged in any deviant sexual behavior during those 57 years! ---
