"They still shouldn't have dry-humped in front of others. Yuck!

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

YOUR COMMENTS:

This adds nothing to the discussion and is insinuating as being anti Gay. TOS was checked.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Tue Feb 28, 2012, 01:49 PM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: bye bye!
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No upside to this post, just mean spirited.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: "They?" Might vote to 'hide' just do to incoherence, but won't.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: While it can be insinuated as being anti-gay I don't think it is. I would err on the side of free expression here assuming the poster was simply prudish. Perhaps leaving the post will encourage respectful discussion of how the post could be construed as anti-gay. Perhaps the community will learn more about the use of language and how it can be hurtful.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Blecch! I don't get the point of it, and it adds little to the discussion, but I don't see it as bad enough to hide.

Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: anti gay

Thank you."

Yes this poster has been NUKED by the MIR Team, I just wanted you to see what can get hidden and what doesn't get hidden at times.

How can the statement not be anti-gay? What is wrong with people?

If you're interested in preserving this obvious anti-gay sentiment (as an object lesson for the rest of DU) -- then I wish you would have contested the post. How cowardly of you to ignore it after making your argument to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Sheesh.

edit: for the rest of DU
