Well there was a set of posts a while back, about somebodys gay day parade, and I thought the comments qualified as "gay bashing"... but, admittedly, its an overused term out here. And there were a few towards Dennis along the lines of "no wonder they turned out that way...", etc. Which also implied a somewhat lesser status, I would call that gay bashing. Fwiw gay bashing I take to mean insulting the gay lifestyle, nothing violent about it... I have a few gay friends out here and for some reason they are way up there in the film/animation business at ILM. Not sure if there is a sort of gay network to get jobs there or what. But I wonder when I hear comments here, does it matter at all what anyone makes of their life beyond the fact that he/she is gay to you all? If a gay person developed a cure for cancer would you constantly dwell on that as a way to degrade their other accomplishments? Why do you care? Anyway I have a bunch of PMs here and don't want to address this now but thought I'd answer your question about when the gay insults happened, it was a few days ago.
