Edited to say, I've changed my mind. Lil Missy doesn't owe me an explanation. If she chooses to edit her post, that's on her, but I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.
I don't think Lil Missy's words were meant to be homophobic. Hurtful, yes. Homophobic, no.
Although I don't agree with Lil Missy's opinion, I do believe that she's certainly entitled to have a viewpoint that differs from mine. However rudely she chooses to make her point is up to her.
If her post should have been hidden, it would have been because of rudeness and not homophobia.
