| 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. | |

| 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. | |
