Cord, I think not being racist and/or homophobic would mean reading this story not as being about a black man and a gay man, but about one guy who acted like an asshole and another guy who reacted to it.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Okay I am seriously about to toss a brick into my computer screen and hope it somehow voodoos its way into John Santos's face. I hate this guy.

Cord, you're awesome. Keep awesome-ing.

what about young black, gay men having public sex? wrap your head around that equal ground! makes me dizzy.

John Santos,

Give it a fuckin rest already. I have a gay brother and even he says enough is enough.

"We're gay, treat us like everyone else! Except when something bad happens then let's make sure its about being gay instead of the real issues!!!"

Puffy is a prick,we can all agree that he needs some serious humility and a good dose of humble pie….let's not make this a rainbow flag flying diatribe from johnny boy. Just because some straight dude wrote about GLAAD…be happy he even knows what GLAAD is moron!

Don't get mad, get GLAAD.

As BritBrit says "Y'all are stupid!"

What makes you think that Piddy oops Diddy's bodyguard knows who the hell TR Knight is anyway? I won't recognize TR from the guy who bags my groceries at Whole Foods. I don't watch that crap show he's on. As far as the burly bodyguard, he probably just saw some freaking interloper-wannabe sitting at his boss' table and said "Get the F*CK UP NOW!" and didn't care that the dude and his hags were on a tv show that he doesn't watch. (All spectulation of course.)

On TR side, me thinks he's ego has ascended his talent, career potential or fame. As the say in the Castro he needs to "Get over himself".

Cord stop apologizing for having an opinion. You are entitled as is everyone else.

John Santos,

I hate to write this because I feel like by even acknowledging your presence here, I'm somehow encouraging you. However, if you dislike Cord, and, consequently, this blog so much, why are you still here? By constantly viewing this blog, you are giving it more hits, and, therefore, making it more appealing to its advertisors. So, by coming on here and annoying everyone with your petition, you are actually helping Cord earn a living.

As loathe as i am to agree with John Santos, Cord, supporting something like what jballs wrote is really offside.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! Hey all of you anti-Cord idiots, GO TO ANOTHER BLOG IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS ONE! What is wrong with you people?? You call him names, denounce him as a person, then do the lowest of all low and try to get him fired?!?!?! You claim to take issue with his "personal vendettas" in your pissy little petition, but what exactly is a damn petition to get him fired??? Gee, I think it's called A PERSONAL VENDETTA! And the rest of that crap I just read???? BULLSHIT! "Attacks on visible minorities; attacks on GLBT's; attacks on women, in particular those with feminist ideals; personal attacks on citizens of neighbouring countries; and rightwing ideology" LOLOLOLOLOL! Where are you people coming up with this crap? It's so absurd that it's actually quite entertaining. I can only hope that none of this petition BS has an effect on Cord's job, because it would be a real shame to let such a great gossip blogger fall prey to the few morons that clearly have way too much time on their hands.

hmm…yeay cord, appreciating something like that does smack of supporting anti-gay messages. i'm sure you meant you apprecite their support in that they support you, but it still seems like you support a homophobic message. pointing out a double standard that too many of us hold agaisnt the queer community isn't being alarmist, it's being a realist. and my dad was gaybashed in the mid-eighties and one of the attackers used a brick on his face. that sits alittle too close to home. this site isn't so fun anymore. i'm not going to point fingers because evryone is involved, but it's gotten too heavy lately and this last post is a bit disturbing. maybe you need to consider stopping open commenting and get posters to register with nics and real emails. just a thought. i don't think you're homophobic, but john santos might be able to make a conclusive argument with these comments as evidence

Well,Cord, it appears that jballs is bemoaing gay people specifically. Also, you are the one who aligned the situation between P Diddy and TR Knight as a black versus gay thing. Lastly, jballs didn't write anything about an alarmist agenda, that was your language.

Secondly, since the entire post was about an issue of sexuality, is it so hard to correlate a desired act of violence against a person who's gay, as being a desire for gaybashing that person? And although you may not be an advocate for violence, you didn't denouce it either.

Lastly, placing a future intention on a posters comment, as in jballs attacking John Santos for his future comment against Courtney is ridiulous. The only way you could imagine that, is if you made the jballs comment yourself, which I don't think you did. You're trying to justify your appreciation of anti-gay prejudice, in the light of your insistance that you're not homophobic.

Clearly you thougth Courtney's comment would provoke a reation and feeling of gaybashing, contary to your beleief tht it does not.

This is ridiculous. John Santos if you don't like this blog then go to another one. It's NOT rocket science. JEEZUS KEERIST. Find one all PINK and Full of Rainbows and Unicorns. This one is NEUTRAL. This one doesn't care if your gay or not and YOU seem to really need one that caters TO GAY PEOPLE ONLY. Isn't THAT racist in a way?? Hmmn. Yet, you keep coming back. What does that say? What does that say?

Wow Used To Love Her, that is really ignorant. I agree John Santos should stop commenting here, but your comment is as ridiculius as this situation. I think I'm ready to leave and I'm not even the target of that sickening post.

As a gay, black, overweight, unfunny woman who wears too much make-up, I would like to say that Cord has loved me physically, as is the style of the times. It was new and awkward, but our love child disproves all of the above arguments against him.

You're acting like a dick, Cord. Gay bashings and homophobia are all too real. Calling someone an "alarmist" for pointing out what they percieve as homophobic attitudes isn't alarmist, it's a defense agaisnt a daily borage of hate from a predominatley straight world. I use to think my sister was reactionary and overeated to imagined slights. But when I started hanging with her after moving back to our city, I realised she wasn't so far off. When all you're use to is hate and marinalization and as John Santos wrote, "conditional love" you tend to become defensive, especially if it's coming from someone you thought ws cool about the gay community.

This petition is the most absurd thing I've read since Lohan went into rehab. I posted an article about it on my site and I wrote John Santos and told him where to insert his petition. Cord, don't you dare leave.

I don't think the issue was Diddy "The Black Man" vs TR "
The Gay". It was Diddy being his usual asshole self. He did get into a fight with Lindsay Lohan over a tableonce.
In addition, famous white people are pricks too when it comes to tables and events. Axl Rose and Tommy Hilfiger anyone?

Wow, I go away for a few hours and I come back labeled a gay bashing hate crime committer? COOL.

Santos, you are a fucking clown (and I mean that in no way disrespect to circus performers, I did not mean clown in a derogatory manner.) You came here to start shit because your life is dull and you're dragging all of us down with it (and I mean dragging in no relation to the physical act of dragging another human being.) And the best part is, you're not even serious. You're just obnoxious. You're laughing your ass off right now (and I mean ass with no disrespect to donkeys.) And we're all falling for it. So take your sadness and your patheticness elsewhere because your lame (and I mean lame with no disrespect to the physically disabled) petition is going nowhere fast (no disrespect to slow things.)

Thank you. I hope it made a point. I was trying to make it as RIDICULOUS AS THIS IS. I think the unicorns put it over the edge.

Cord,

Can we just BAN John Santos. PlEEEZE. This whole thing is creating an ugly air. He is one of those internet WEIRDOS that likes to stir up trouble. Those posters that post crazy stuff to evoke a response because they get no other acknowledgement in the world. He is probably posting under other names as well. I know you probably won't but you really should. If he doesn't like you - then OFF WITH HIS HEAD.

Maybe we should start a ban John Santos petition. Oh that's good. Yeah, That's the ticket. Although, I hate to acknowledgement him EVEN MORE. I would make the page PINK WITH UNICORNS ON IT. Not just gay, REALLLLY GAY. Is that ignorant enough for you to leave Mr. Santos?

Used to Love Her -

This gay?

John Santos = Paul Raposo

and T.R. Knight really needs to piss off. his 15 minutes are up.

The way the reporter writes the story, it seems that Puffy got there extremely late, therefore loosing seating reservations. Hotels, restaurants, theaters (though this is becoming rarer as fucking BROADWAY SHOWS seat these damn late ass mo-fos in the middle of the first act, thus interfering with the enjoyment of those of us who showed up ON TIME!!!! /end rant), hell, all sort of professional performance venue.

This is a long-winded way of saying that the rest of the world requires us to be on time, and makes us suffer consequences when we are late. It's nice to see that there's people out there who feel they are too important to have to deal with little things like consequences and responsibility.

Courtney said she wanted to throw a brick at your head, so what? I have a gay, black son and sometimes I feel like beating the shit out of him when he gets full of sass mouth, doesn't mean I am thinking of commiting a hate crime.

Johnathan,

Listen honey, what happened to Hillary Swank in that one movie is sad. But you can click on Courtney's name and look at her myspace and see that she's a nice girl who wants to throw a brick at your head because you are as annoying as an itch not because you are teh gay.

My son is 8, he doesn't even know he's gay yet. He is proud of my spaghetti sauce and jump shot though.

I think it's a greater statement of how pro-gay I am that I think brick throwing is equal opportunity. Kinda like how the Special Olympics was okay with Idol making fun of their participants because it made them the same as everyone else.

I love the gays. I'm a Chicago graduate of the biggest arts school in the country. Most of my friends are gay. And they think you're an idiot. Gay straight black white, a douche is a douche and you sir are a douche and I grow weary of you.

What's up with Diddy these days? Looks like he has an anger management problem - or does he just hire body guards with anger management problems? He's a total no talent load, that I get.

[bold]Angela, it does mean you're a lousy mother, though[/bold]

WTF? What's the difference in saying someone is a homophobe or a racist or calling them a lousy parent? It's all without substance, immature, juvenile, inflammatory and totally uncalled for.

Wow…i love how everyone likes to interpret my sentiments but let me break it down some for ya:

I love the gays and the gays love me.

However- When in this world of new acceptance will we be able to call a dumb mutherfucker a dumb mutherfucker and have it just be that?

Next time someone calls me a bitch I'm going to be all
"its cuz im short right? cuz i'm under 6 foor and makes me a bitch"

see that sounds dumb. get it?

no…when youre a dumb MF, accept it….gay straight, white black polka fuckin dot i do not care.

Own it…sister!

They are acting like racists.
