    It doesn’t matter if it’s not what you mean unless you express what you mean explicitly.

    And people don’t say that explicitly. They just say that every time someone says something homophobic in the news, they’re closeted. Every time.

    And how the hell am I supposed to know what percentage? More than zero and less than 100?

    I’m guessing closer to zero than 100 for the same reason there are antisemitic Jews out there but the vast majority of antisemites aren’t Jewish. Can you point to a time that you’ve suggested that an antisemite is actually a Jew? And if not, why not if it’s so common for homophobes to be queer?

      Seems pretty relevant to the discussion, 10% is way different than 90%.

      But you’re just guessing.

      for the same reason there are antisemitic Jews out there but the vast majority of antisemites aren’t Jewish.

      What reason is that?

      Can you point to a time that you’ve suggested that an antisemite is actually a Jew? And if not, why not if it’s so common for homophobes to be queer?

      I’m sure I never said that, I usually call antisemites Nazis/bigot/fuckhead or something similar.

      And if not, why not if it’s so common for homophobes to be queer?

      We’ve already been over this. I suspect we’re not going to come to an agreement on this, have a nice night Squid.
