Punching up never includes homophobia, especially at an assumed closet person. It’s not appropriate on DU.

To quote EarlG:

118. HA HA LINDSEY GRAHAM IS GAY, GET IT??
Making homophobic jokes about Lindsey Graham is acceptable because he's attacking women's sex lives, so his is fair game.

WRONG.

Making homophobic jokes about Lindsey Graham is acceptable because we can't beat Republicans unless we sink to their level.

WRONG.

Making homophobic jokes about Lindsey Graham is acceptable because he's a hypocrite.

WRONG.

Making homophobic jokes about Lindsey Graham is acceptable if they're true.

WRONG.

Making homophobic jokes about Lindsey Graham is acceptable because he's powerful so it's punching up.

WRONG.

Making homophobic jokes about Lindsey Graham is acceptable because the woman who started it is gay.

Locking, with disgust and disappointment at the people in this thread who still think making homophobic jokes about Lindsey Graham is okay on DU.
