Who defines anti-gay — the powerful or the powerless? The privileged or the marginalized?
Compare this cartoon with the 'defining hate' cartoon — there it is pretty obvious that we wouldn't and shouldn't let the slave owner decide whether he is being hateful toward his slaves. Is it as easy to decide with this cartoon? While the overall situations are not parallel, do the same principles apply in terms of the minority being given a voice and the right to say whether they feel those in power are against them?
Should any group be able to put labels on another group? What about on themselves? In what situations? Why?
