Read this NYT correction first thing this morning & I can’t get over it. (If the Times employed more homosexual editors things like this would not happen.) pic.twitter.com/PuRSfKdy05

You might think, having written actual homosexual books, you could be spared lectures from random strangers about the etiquette of homosexual lingo, but you would be wrong. pic.twitter.com/q3ONDVvfjp

I have spent all day writing homosexualist literature and do not have the time for this nonsense, good night. pic.twitter.com/4X3AQFMFcM
