You know what, before you came at me with the attitude I was actually thinking maybe I’d missed something and been too quick to interpret heteronormativity from what he’d said. To me it was all a bit glorifying of the traditional husband-and-father stuff, which is usually the kind of stuff straight guys say — you have a point when you say he did use the term “spouse” etc. I found it interesting that you as a gay man saw it differently and I’m not against having my viewpoint challenged. But then you decided to be twattish in how you did it so that didn’t encourage me to engage with you about it, because why would I want to engage with someone who just goes “hahaha look how stupid you are”

Here’s a free, gratis tip for you, patronizing internet commenter who thinks it’s good to make fun of people you don’t know who don’t think exactly the same as you about something. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But it looks like you, who believe you are always right about everything, clearly, don’t particularly care about anything other than seeming witty and edgy on the internet. So don’t pretend you’re doing me a favour love. You’re hoping people will read it and go “OMG see how he took down that wrong person, isn’t he awesome”.

No, please don’t pretend you give a fuck about anything other than your own ego and who gives a shit whose expense it’s at.
