In reply to the discussion: Is blatant anti-Semitism rampant here at DU? [View all]Douglas Carpenter
(20,226 posts)have ever dreamed of daring. Don't make assumptions about things you don't know anything about. DU is about the most gay friendly forum I could imagine anywhere that is not specifically a gay forum. If there has been some kind of purge of gay people here- I find that hard to imagine. But I have always noticed that there is frequently a huge gap between ordinary gay people in the real world who are not necessarily terribly political or Jewish people in the real world who may or may not be particularly political - or Arab or Muslim people or Autistic people or whoever in the real world who may or may not be particularly political - There is definitely a gap between ordinary people of all identifiable communities who are not particularly ideological and those who claim to speak for them.
