Or misogyny because you're a woman. Or racism because you're black. Or xenophobia because you're an immigrant.

It doesn't work that way at all. Plus, I'll bet most of the people on DU applauding what Judy Gold says are not LGBTQ. So, if you're not LGBTQ and double down on this homophobia, you need to shut the fuck up.
