I started off thinking that the homophobic posts were un-moddable, but I’m swayed by **LHOD** and **MichaelEmouse** :

> **Urbanredneck** ’s homophobic assertions would be appropriate (per the spirit of the board, IMO) in a discussion about whether homosexuality is acceptable, or whether gay marriage should be acceptable, or some similar issue debate, but I don’t think it adds anything to the discussion in question, which was about Mother’s Day. I don’t think it’s appropriate at all to suggest that a parenting challenge is due to the sexual orientation (or race, or religion, etc.) of the parent (in a thread started by the parent) unless that parent makes it part of their question.
