Reggie Bush: Are Homophobic Comments Offensive to Gays?

YES, Reggie, they are.

In a display of brilliance, Reggie asked on Twitter if the term "no homo" was offensive.  Once it was clear to him that it was, he asked people to not use it.

Please excuse Reggie, his helmet wasn't effective and he now cannot control the flow of consciousness stupidity on his Twitter due to head injuries.

If you are unfamiliar with the term, it is used as such:

"You guys are great!  I love all of you, no homo."  Translation:  "My love for you is purely platonic!  If it were otherwise, we would be sodomizing each other, and that is shameful for men to do."

Okay, props for telling people to not be gay-bashy, but seriously-- a comment used to defend statements possibly construed as gay because you're concerned that you might appear to be a "Greek Lover--" that's the freaking DEFINITION of homophobia.

Bless his heart, he's learnin' tho, ain't he?  And what's all that crap about Hanukkah about?
