I love the way these homophobes try to lie their way out of their blatant bigotry, ya know? This Ramin Seetoodah guy tries to act innocent. Who does he think he's foolin?
"The point of my essay was not to disparage my own community, but to examine an issue that is being swept under the rug. Immediately, a number of gay blogs picked up my essay and ran excerpts from it out of context, under the headline that I was antigay. It went viral...Many of them said they hadn’t even read the original article (some of them did) but they all seemed to agree on the same point: that I was an idiot."
He obviously IS an idiot, eh? And then, believe it or not, he actually tries to get sympathy after his pathologically vicious brutalization of a poor gay actor (who he said was too obviously gay to convincingly play a straight role):
"Over the weekend, I became the subject of a lot of vicious attacks. I received e-mails that said I will be fired, anonymous phone calls on my cell phone and a creepy letter at my home....I was compared to Ann Coulter and called an Uncle Tom. Someone described me as a “self-hating Arab” that should be writing about terrorism (I’m an American, born in Texas, of Iranian descent)."
Bein a terrorist would be a huge jump up from bein a filthy, disgustin, mentally deranged HOMOPHOBE. Does he actually think anyone feels "sorry" for him?
"If you were pro-gay, you were anti-NEWSWEEK...I was sharing my honest impression about a play that I saw. If you don’t agree with me, I’m more than happy to hear opposing viewpoints. But I was hoping to start a dialogue that would be thoughtful—not to become a target for people who twisted my words. I’m not a conservative writer with an antigay agenda. I don’t hate gay people or myself."
This guy just doesn't get it, does he? His "honest impression" is precisely what makes him an intolerable homophobe. Of course he hates gay people. He criticized the performance of a gay actor didn't he?
That's what I thought. Q.E.D.
