(45,251 posts)It still is. Even supposedly leftist people will revert to it when it seems socially acceptable to them.
You can see it in a lot of posts on this board, even some on this thread. Not the word "fag," per se, but a certain attitude.
Also, I love Jon Stewart. Don't miss a show. If I do, I catch up online or On Demand, if I possibly can. Think he's probably one of the smartest and funniest people on the planet. But he never mentions Senator Graham without also doing an over the top impression of a Southern woman.
Graham's alleged resemblance to a woman or his alleged orientation is not what makes--or should make--Graham an object of political satire. But, it's supposed to be not only okay but funny because....well, I don't know why. In my eyes, it's an offense to both gay males and women.
