i’ve seen talk and confusion regarding this post
~management didn’t “make” him cross it out
it wasn’t crossed out so as to avoid having people think he was gay
it was crossed out because using that word as an insult is Not Okay
and given the context, with the other words on the sign all being insults, it was clearly being used as an insult
it’s unfortunate that it even needed to happen in the first place just as it’s unfortunate that we still live in a world where people think it’s okay to use the word “gay” as an insult
because it’s not, not in the slightest, even when it’s in a “joking” manner
he (or whoever it was that crossed it out if it wasn’t him) did the best thing that could have been done given the situation and it’s refreshing to see that kind of awareness and it makes me proud
