The Playground Bullies' Favorite Name-Call is "Homophobe!"

Wow! Jamie's post yesterday brought out a mob of LBTQXYZ name-callers which brought to mind so many intelligent playground exchanges:

"You're a ______ !" (Fill in the blank, in this case, "homophobe.")

"No, I'm not."

"Yes you are."

I freely acknowledge that there was a day when the bullies used terms like "queer" and "faggot" as their insults. It was cruel and wrong. So is calling someone "fat" or "ugly" or a "retard" or names that can't be printed on my blog. But times have changed and now the bullied have become the bullies.
