I agree with you completely. My first reaction to the story when I saw it on huffingtonpost was disbelief. Then I listened to the audio and I cried. I sat there at my desk and I cried. How can anyone think that shit is appropriate!? So my righteous anger went into the first post I made about it. Then I finally calmed down enough for this post. It took me until yesterday to calm down enough to actually contact the radio station and the assholes.
I cannot even click those links right now. I've finally stopped having the rage gnawing my gut to pieces.
I agree with you on the wanting to crawl back into the closet and just pretend because, omg, some of the shit that gets spewed as lulz just pisses me off so much. I have defriended people here on LJ and across RL for makign homophobic and transphobic jokes. What part of "NOT FUNNY" do people not get?
I'm just glad you're here and still out of the closet and willing to take a stand even in such a hostile environment. <3
