Definitely taken out of context and blown WAY out of proportion. And personally I don't remember him saying that he wouldn't want his child to be taught by a gay individual. It's also obvious from Jeff's real life that he doesn't feel this way :shrug

I remember people being quite vehement about it. Seemed odd. He never struck me as an exclusive individual. The whole thing seemed odd to me. At least now I know why people were saying it. Thanks for the perspective. The Jeff hate was hard for me to wrap my head around.

Just catching up on some stuff last night...

Danielle teaching Joe how to dance (or the more likely explanation, trying to turn him on...) is pretty frigging funny. I don't know if it was alcohol or what but I appreciate the good sportsmanship.

I agree that it was taken way out of proportion. Dan and Ian were talking about various controversial things that never aired. They talked about Jerry for quite a bit.

I'm sorry, but I watched the feeds that night -- Jeff went on an extended rant about how inappropriate it was, not only for a man in the position of headmaster to be gay, but for an author to put such things in a book that children read. (And BTW, Rowling never put it in the books, she mentioned Dumbledore's orientation in an interview after the books were all out). He and Kalia went at it for quite a while, and he was angry about it.

Perhaps it wouldn't seem as much like something to make a deal over if he also hadn't casually used the word "f****t" in Season 11. I'm sure he's had time to reflect over it since then, but I can't dismiss the Dumbledore conversation as nothing.

I wish I had stayed up for Dan and Ian's HoH convo -- after a night of nothing on the feeds, I read that they had a really good heart-to-heart talk.
