However, I was brought up aware of the idea that, whilst the concept of free speech is entirely desirable, it is not obligatory to provide a platform for racism, sexism or homophobia. Irfan Ahmed's blog entry earlier this afternoon treads perilously close to homophobia, perhaps even steps over the line. Publishing such comments on a Liberal Democrat blog aggregator risks discrediting all of us, and...
The great genius of Lee Atwater was that he could take the most insidious, invidious, hateful parts of the human psyche and present them as American exceptionalism . In Atwater's brilliant hands, racism, antisemitism, and homophobia became a noble crusade on behalf of "hard workin' Americans". Greed and the corporate destruction of democracy became "freedom", and the jealous hatred of intelligence...

Razib takes a scientific look at black homophobia: Smart, educated and very liberal blacks are less tolerant of homosexuals than similar whites. In fact, among downscale sectors there isn't much of a difference between whites and blacks, the difference shows...

Now that you've read about Ben Massing's homophobia-laden lawsuit against Genre magazine — for supposedly using his picture and depicting him as gay, the horror! — how would you rule if you were the judge overseeing this case? Permalink | post a comment | Add to del.icio.us | Digg Post tags: Ben Massing, Genre, Homophobia, Poll, Rick Day
A couple of days ago, we told you about Ben Massing, the straight model who is suing gay magazine Genre for using sexypex photos without his consent. People were crying homophobia, but others figured...
Coates takes issue with my statement about black homophobia. Jamelle Bouie, after looking at the numbers, also says I'm wrong. I wish I were. There is a tsunami of data showing that African-Americans are more opposed to gay equality than...
I'm reliably informed that at an event today, Nick Clegg dropped a bit of a clanger when it comes to gay equality. Some of you may be familiar with the Liberal Democrat youth wing's "Homophobia is Gay" campaign. It's a controversial name, for understandable reasons; the website explains the use of it in its FAQ section as follows:We are not advocating the use of the word "gay" as a derogatory term....
From top to bottom, Tottenham Hotspur has never been a football club with much class, and after reading about the vile abuse directed at ex-Tottenham and Arsenal defender Sol Campbell whilst playing for Portsmouth on Sunday, that opinion can only been strengthened. As an Arsenal supporter that has been to hundreds upon hundreds of matches over the years, I can honestly say that apart from the odd...
Ta-Nehisi Coates asks: ...I don't want to scapegoat my brown bothers--my sense is that ethnicity is a really bad filter here--for blacks, whites and Latinos. For instance, is homophobia tied to wealth? Is it tied to education? Is it tied to region? What is the best predictor of homophobia? Is it really race? Or is it something like poverty or even church attendance? The charmingly named "HOMOSEX"...
