I mean, if a gay person makes a person uncomfortable, they're being homophobic. If someone is talking concerns about 'race replacement' they're being racist.

I also think you're Tourette's joke is in bad taste. At any rate people react to what they feel is name calling. Fine. But I suspect folks would be as upset if someone more accurately named their behavior as X, instead of you are an X.

Fwiw I also think that your Tourette comment in bad taste.

And who are you referring to as a sensitive topic? Sensitive for the folks that feel Pride Night is thrown in their face and this tread shouldn't be in Fire on Ice? Or actual queer people?
