Joy Reid's homophobic blog posts

[quote]MSNBC personality Joy Reid’s former blog, The Reid Report, published a series of anti-gay posts, which she claims were added to the site after it was shut down, by a hacker intent on destroying her reputation and nascent cable-news career.

The since-deleted posts — accessed by Twitter user Jamie_Maz using a service that archives old web pages — describe cringing “at the sight of two men kissing” and perpetuate the notion that gay men prey on underage boys at a disproportionate rate.


Rachel Maddow, who is openly gay and is now Reid’s colleague at MSNBC, was also the frequent target of attack on the blog. Other posts from the same time period openly oppose gay marriage and criticize the idea that the issue should be decided by the courts.

Regardless of if she did write them, it was over 10 years ago. I dont think it matters at this point.

Edit: This is coming from a gay man. Not a straight ally.

damn Joy

[The Mikado]

Seeing a lot of these newer revealed messages, they're pretty damned homophobic even by the standards of 12 years ago. Like, before, when it was just the stuff accusing Charlie Crist of being a closet case, that was more explainable.

The absurd cover-up is more damning.

1. It was ten years ago, people change. 2. Lol @ Republicans pretending like they care about homophobia.

I have to agree. The liberal community will forgive for having said something homophobic over a decade ago. Saying that you were hacked has to be the dumbest play out of the damage control playbook.

Joy Reid has always been trash.

[kyc0705]

Is she legitimately trying to argue that an archived version of a webpage was hacked to make her look bad?

Far-leftists are pleading around Joy's Reid past like she's still a disgraceful bigot. The tactic of their's is to bring people onto their side by attacking liberals for having bad views in the past. Worth mentioning that most of those leftists are young twenty somethings, not people who remembers when even the Democratic Party was reluctant to embrace SSM until the end of Obama first term. A more constructive enemy would be to start protesting against the Republican Party bigotry over transgender laws and fighting against people that would strip the rights of the LGBT community.

This, but unironically. better late than never.

Yet Mike Pence’s electroshocking is still relevant today. Cool.

I shouldn't have to explain the difference.

I don't know why she feels the need to make up complicated bstories rather than just say that her views changed over the past 10 years but if there are any people dumb enough to believe that Russia hacked into an archived blog of an Msnbc hack and post homophobic comments in an effort to undermine national security, it would be the type of idiots who like her show

It would help if she said that and apologized rather than pretend it was a hack. I know she apologized for the Crist comments, but this is broader.

Maybe because Pence continues to be a homophobe?

Not personally supporting gay marriage (while pretty much allowing the issue to stay dead and not reopen it) does not equal homophobia

It's like saying not personally supporting abolishing segregated facilities does not equal racism.

Obvious HP was HP.  Of course those using identity politics can be as bigoted any anyone else.

Just what exactly is "homophobia"?  Just what exactly is a "homophobe"?

That word is thrown around a lot, but I don't understand just exactly what qualifies one to be classified as such.

Let's keep it simple. It is somebody who thinks that gays, etc., should be treated differently from heterosexuals, in a disadvantageous way.

Ok, just so we're clear and consistent...can somebody that said something 10 years ago be held accountable for it today or not?  What if somebody else said it in their newsletter?
