Think of, say, someone in an interracial couple who posted a problem he had with his kid and someone came into that thread to disapprove of interracial couples. I think I’m swayed by this argument. **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. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/urbanredneck-is-a-homophobic-bigot/719775)._
