    Is it okay to make a joke about keeping queers on a leash during straight events?

      I think in the right context, yes. But when joking about a group that’s in a very vulnerable position all around the world you have to be more aware of how the joke can have real world harmful consequences to those people (even if the intentions were good).

      As a straight man I don’t have to worry that some online banter might flow over into real world violence towards me.
