re: Former Georgia football player an organizer of Mizzou protests; talks GA racism

Good article.

Growing up in the Deep South, Faloughi inherited a bias toward the LGBTQ community. As he grew up, he made homophobic jokes, laughed at them and let them go on in the locker room. It was not until he had a teammate at Georgia who identified as gay that Faloughi realized that his actions weren’t morally right.

As someone who grew up in the 80s, I look back now and realize that gay slurs were the N word for my generation.

Just about every cutdown we used those days involved something about being gay.

Hell, look at this board most days. Not much has changed in that regard.

I'm as guilty as anyone in that regard but I am aware now.

I'm not sure if other realize what they are doing or if they even care.
