No, I wasn't implying that he's gay, and I'm not entirely sure how you got that from what I wrote.
Because what you wrote was vague and incredibly coy about what you really meant? Which is apparently that Sim is secretly a fetishistic transvestite or something, I still don't really know.
How many anti-gay activists and preachers and politicians are caught with male prostitutes or trying to sexually harass their male employees?
Probably a similar proportion to those men who aren't anti-gay activists I expect, only that's less newsworthy. I think the explanation that all 'true' homophobia is perpetrated by closeted gay men is just a little too pat, not to mention just a little too comforting to the casually homophobic straight guys who'd rather not be introspective about their own part in perpetrating bigotry.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
