It was chosen to be taken as a "homophobic" attack by those looking for political capital and to virtue signal.

In the end, it was a joke that people are deliberately taking in a dishonest way and running with in an effort to beat down another forum member that happens to not like the same HM.

joke or not, it can be seen as offensive by others. it's not exactly homophobic, it's more ignorance really. Straight guys are called gay (as a joke) when they act all girly but straight people don't get insults. I know Nicky didn't mean it in a mean way but it shouldn't have been said at all. they will be an issue with those type of comments. I don't have an issue with Nicky making loads of threads when he goes back and forth with his favourites but i didn't like that little comment.
