    Most states no longer hear of it, but do you think that the 'Gay Panic' (i.e., someone commits a hate crime against a gay person, because said gay person allegedly made untoward advances on them) defense is a legitimate one?

    Indeeeed, like what Ron White said about the term homophobic, it means being afraid of gays, which is also bullshiiiiiiiiiiit.

    It holds about as much validity as calling somebody homophobic, these days, does.

    Not to me. If a gay makes an advance the other person can simply say not, not interested just as he or she would to another person.

    You have a great day.

    So this invalidates the Twink-ie defense?

    No, it's not a legitimate defense. It's not even a defense, it's just an excuse. It's just completely bizarre.

    assault is assault and unless it's self defence, there's no excuse for it.

    I think it depends on the crime. Of course murder is out, but if someone is being sexually aggressive and harassing, then I can't fault anyone for being willing to put on their brass knuckles.
