I am not writing state policy or carrying out a war against homosexuals here. It is my opinion on *this individual*. If you think it is a slur – so be it. I was poking fun at him (just as others have done here) because he’s obviously making an arse of himself in public whichever way you look at it. If you think everyone in the world is as sympathetic to him as you are – this must be a complete shock – but I’m sure you’ll get over it with time.

Completely disagree with you on point 3 and there’s nothing you can do about it. Say “chor” to a waiter in Kochi and he’ll give you a bowl of rice; say that in Delhi and he’ll give you a few broken teeth.

Now give it a rest will ya

But let it go yaar.

You r very right…being transgendered and being gay are completely different things. One has to do with gender dysphoria and the other with sexual orientation.

Who told you it’s called a village? West Hollywood is just West Hollywood – don’t conflate it with Greenwich Village in New York. Here’s the problem –

1. You are generalizing about gay men – assuming that all of them use such terms of endearment. In my experience, only a minority of flamboyant gay men use such terms. The rest are either indifferent to such feminine address, or find them offensive.

2. You did not use it as a term of endearment. You meant it as a slur – no harm admitting it.

3. Using a slur against gay men in a presumably hetrosexual forum does not make it OK. Whether there is a gay man reading this or not, an offensive remark is offensive under all circumstances.

Perhaps you aren’t a regular on this site. Interestingly, GB had a few pleasant things to say on a few ‘straight’ harassment cases too involving Rakhi Sawant (Mika kissing episode) and Sushmita Sen (during the shooting of Chingari) & I don’t believe the women- folk minded that much

Okay, on a quick re-read, it did look half like he was making as much fun of the circus as of Sonu. So I may have been a little hasty there.

How unlikely though that he would write a post on a woman say Sona complaining of sexual harassment and subsequent hoopla, with generous allusions to curvy cleavage ‘frontal attack’, etc and lots of photos showing up how attractive/ harassment worthy(?) the lady is.

How unlikely that rank and file would comment in with “grow up Sona, take it on the chin, like a woman”.

How unlikely we would split hairs on whether she should have shushed and just filed a police complaint.

How unlikely that women commenters would join in praise of the blogger’s sense of humor.

How unlikely that they would miss the broad commentary and latch in on one anon. going “girl/ boy” somewhere. (No way in defence of this tiresome anon who overdid some valid points he had).

But I am likely taking this too seriously. Appreciate that the general theme of this blog is humor. Bye now.

Jai
