Rep. Paul Gosar said that the ā€œhomosexual-promotingā€ general ā€œwould be hungā€ in a better society.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.

In his newsletter this weekend ā€“ published to his Congressional website ā€“ Gosar accused Milley of being a ā€œhomosexual-promoting-BLM-activistā€ who delayed the militaryā€™s response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he ā€œstarted the revolution,ā€ referring to the insurrection.

        As a gay man who has hung a picture of a starry night on my wall, I did NOT think about that when I saw the word hung.

        It like if I said ā€œa womenā€™s chest sizeā€ to most men, they would not think of a hinged box size.

          Youā€™re absolutely right!

          As a cis-het male (who actually learned that he was ā€œvery well hungā€ from the penis doctor), can I laugh at this fabulous difference?

          I already did. Itā€™s just too great.

      For executions, hanged is correct. If I was to place a painting on a wall, it was hung. Or if I ended a phone call, I hung up.
