That's horrific! How dare anyone use that vicious slur in 2024? I wonder, do any of these loathsome "comics" use the N word to "joke" about Black people? Would groans have emerged from the audience in that case?

I would hope so!

It's sad and depressing to see that cruel anti-gay jokes like this could fill the air during an entire comedy session and that nobody stood up and objected.

If I'd been in the audience, house managers would have had to call security to have me removed ...

What's the worst thing you can call a straight man? A gay man. The sting is powerful and visceral.

Okay, so Brady isn't gay. It's just a "roast," so what's the big deal? Simple, the jokes would not be funny if men didn't actually take offense at being called gay. If it weren't ACTUALLY an insult.

Tom Brady will be fine. He's a wildly popular, powerful, wealthy, straight man.

The people who won't be fine are the gay boys and men struggling with homophobic rejection in their families and communities.

If they watched the roast, they just learned that anti-gay jeers and slurs are appropriate and even chuckle-worthy. That homophobia is cool.

People who sling those kind of slurs in everyday life are also not going to be fine. They've just had powerful, influential people teach them that mocking a man for being gay is cool and funny. Think they won't emulate that?

We should be FAR better than this in 2024. The people who participated in this roast and the people who decided to broadcast it have big problems with morality and human decency.

I don't know why they choose to be such horrible people, but they need to start choosing love and acceptance instead of mocking and hatred.

I just don't get it. Why do people have to be so horrible?
