What the hell is a "Sational"? Sartorial? Sectional?

the wooden sign that says "sational" is a suffix being tacked onto the "homo sex is sin" sign above it. making it read, "homo sex is sin-sational." as in, sensational.

yeah, anna. the title of this post is pretty gay.
and...offensive?
also, the catchpa for this comment is "diters". i think that's the website's way of saying "ditto" as in "i completely agree with you".

annap said...

You give me the diters :)

@Jenn, thanks. I declare this a sign #fail. If there's one thing I hate about Christian fundamentalists, it's their blatant disregard for proper punctuation.

IT WAS A JOKE doesn't really fly as an excuse for slurs.

Well, as a queer person, I don't consider fag a slur, but a word that has been reappropriated as a term of empowerment, same as dyke and well, queer.

Also, fagtastic is punning on a positive word, fantastic, so really, I don't see your offense. However, know that I meant none.

There are many homosexual men who would disagree with you that other people using the f-word empowers them. Would you think sticking the n-word into a positive word is okay? Additionally, would you be okay with using the n-word because you were Latina?
