When I say that folks are homophobic I mean that the statements that are being made are not sensitive to people who identify as LBGTQ.
If this were Black History Month and someone responded "happy black, african american, negro or what ever you folks call yourself day", black people would be up in arms. If this was a belated merry christmas and someone said "thanks for coming out as a Christian", that would be offensive too. I don't think that the title of what you are congratulating people for matters, I think it is the tone that I personally have interpreted from some of these statements.
As for the comment made by Rudey, I would say that if someone is a lesbian, they probably are not interested in a threesome at 11 with you. It's just not funny. The fact that people think comments like that are funny or appropriate to make are an indication of how unsafe the Greek world is for the LGBTQ community and I think that as leaders we should be taking a stand against that.
