I am a 38-year-old gay woman with a Phd, dumbass - not young, not uneducated, and certainly homophobic. YOU are clearly a heterosexual idiot pretending to be a drag queen online by playing on the basest of stereotypes ("dahlink", "thyself" - honey, RuPaul doesn't even act like that) because you know no better. Shame on you. It is behavior like YOURS that makes our community look bad, and you are not even one of us. You are nothing but a fraud "playing" online. I have many HIV-positive friends (and some with full-blown AIDS), and my comment was in no way homophobic, you ignoramus. It was completely and wholly accurate - Rudy's attack on a fellow skater was cruel and shocking, and to defend him by saying he has "earned the right to say whatever he wants" simply because he is an HIV-positive gay man is absurd. Now crawl away and leave the discussion to intelligent people who aren't harming the gay community with degrading and false stereotypes like you are.
: Now, Libby, precious dahlink, calm
: thyself: perhaps you can take one of
: those little pills the physician
: prescribed for your anxieties and
: unfocused angers.
:
: I say again that your comment
: ("He doesn't get a free pass
: just because he has HIV,
: honey.") made me shield my eyes
: in fright: such ignorance, such
: cruelty, such HOMOPHOBIA.
:
: Based on the missteps in your rant,
: I shall assume, little one, that
: either you are Tonya Harding or you
: are young, very young, and have yet
: to receive a proper education.
: Shame.
:
: Now take that little pill and calm
: yourself, petite cherie.
:
: Kiss, kiss.

: Zsa Zsa, how annoying, how
: absolutely
: annoying, can you possibly get?
: Your pretentious and absurd 'little
: people, dahlink' act isn't
: entertaining or original in the
: least, it is just idiotic and
: irritating. Get a grip already.
: Rudy behaved badly because he was
: jealous of another skater and
: deserved every bit of the animosity
: he received for it (there was no
: reason whatsoever for him to go
: after Johnny Weir in the media in
: the middle of Johnny's Olympic quest
: or tell the media to ask Johnny if
: he was a homosexual, and his claim
: that Weir copies his skating style
: was beyond outrageous). YOU are
: behaving like a brainless, braying
: jackass and deserve all of the
: contempt it will heap on you,
: DAHLINK.

: Dahlinks, dahlinks, pahleezzzzz,
: control thyselves. If you read the
: story carefully (if you are able),
: especially the quotes attributed to
: Rudy, it is quite clear that he
: "demanded" nothing. You
: little people are ridiculous,
: utterly ridiculous. And Libby,
: dahlink, your remarks made me gasp
: in fright: "He doesn't get a
: free pass just because he has HIV,
: honey." Dahlink, HOW rude, how
: absolutely rude.

: No, he hasn't "earned the right
: to say what he wants" - not
: when he is verbally assaulting
: another skater without cause,
: jealously attacking that young man
: in the middle of his first Olympic
: experience merely to grab a bit of
: his spotlight and try to ruin the
: good publicity the other skater is
: getting. That is unacceptable and
: reprehensible behavior from anyone,
: Rudy included. He doesn't get a
: free pass just because he has HIV,
: honey. Who knows how much the media
: uproar that Rudy caused by demanding
: that the media publicly
: "out" Johnny Weir against
: his will contributed to Johnny's
: loss of concentration in the free
: program the next day, and his
: subsequent fall from second place to
: fifth, thereby costing him a medal
: at the Olympics? It was cruel and
: mean-spirited, and inspired by
: nothing but Rudy's own jealousy of a
: younger, better-looking, more
: talented skater who has already
: achieved more at the age of 21 than
: he ever did. NO ONE SHOULD BE
: FORCED TO DISCUSS THEIR SEXUAL
: ORIENTATION PUBLICLY UNLESS THEY SO
: CHOOSE. IT IS A PERSONAL CHOICE.

: back off of Rudy, he has done so
: much
: to help current and future gay
: skaters he has earned the right to
: say what he wants he is a true

: How very sad, Rudy. Your
: unnecessary
: attack on a fellow skater (Johnny
: Weir) in the media is sure to lose
: you a lot of your longtime fans. It
: has certainly cost you my support.
: As an out-and-proud lesbian and an
: adult figure skater, I have always
: admired you both professionally and
: personally. But there is absolutely
: no excuse for demanding a public
: outing of another athlete; you
: should be ashamed. You CHOOSE to
: discuss your sexual orientation
: publicly; good for you. You have no
: right to presume to make that choice
: for anyone else.
:
: Just as ludicrous is your contention
: that Mr. Weir "copies"
: your style. His skating could
: hardly be more different in style
: from yours (you whine that you
: sometimes see him do a spin or jump
: that reminds him of yours, but how
: many dozens of skaters who came
: before you could have said the same
: about your moves? You didn't invent
: a single one of the moves you
: perform, nor is the way you do them
: particularly original). And at the
: same time you decry that Mr. Weir is
: obligated to declare with whom he
: has sex simply because YOU have, you
: shriek that he is copying you just
: because he tends toward the
: flamboyant - as if you and only you
: own the skating world's rights to
: flamboyance! What an ego.
:
: It would appear that you are peeved
: over all of the media attention Mr.
: Weir has been receiving and tried to
: grab a bit for yourself by attacking
: him so publicly. The result is that
: you have shown yourself to be a
: jealous and shameless individual,
: willing to hurt anyone to get
: himself into the spotlight. Shame
: on you.
