Before this gets out of control, I don't think there was ever anything malicious about their gay jokes, at least during the time that I listened, nor was they ever against gay rights. It was never like Dan said "you know what? It's about time I condemned gay people," it was just playing drops of people saying "gay," i.e., other people's intellectual property. The closest they ever got to being cruel was with Larry Craig, but even that's a grey area because the rules seem to state that it's fair game to be cruel to closeted homosexuals who deliver harm upon other homosexuals.


Malicious, perhaps not. Revealing might be a better word.

I will admit I wasn't around for T.B. Diddler's or callers opening with "hey guys, gay show as always."

that is extremely well worded. You never got the sense that they were using it in a good light. Gay was kinda the same to them as "crackers" or any other sound drop used to indicate a person of lesser standing.

I think they were pretty harsh and insensitive when it came to using the term "gay" as a derogatory label. They used the term liberally to refer to something that was either bad or not manly. They were similarly insensitive with their use of the term "retard." Some event caused the shift. Could have been dictated by CBS, might just be maturity, might be that his kids are coming of age and Dan is having a "do as I say, not as I do" crisis. The change also times out pretty well with the launch of SQL Events.

Don't misunderstand, I'm glad the show has grown up whatever the reason. I still find them very funny and enjoy the content of the show. Sometimes it gets a little too Penn Statey, or CTE intensive, but entertaining radio most of the time.

Sometimes you gotta follow the money is all I'm saying.

I'm done...

Yeah, see, I don't remember them using "gay" for "not manly." "Retarded," definitely threw that around liberally. Football retarded, basketball retarded, on and on.

Funny, I was just thinking about how the show "growing up" has made it a lot less fun, but I was thinking more of the progression from Dan thinking football was inherently silly to treating it like a serious intellectual pursuit.

I just have deep disdain for political correctness and the types of people that believe they have the privilege of editing the PC Playbook at their whim. As long as you are in the club, it's OK to use gay or retarded in any manner you choose. It's those other people, they are the real racists, homophobes, misogynists, and xenophobes. The PC elites dictate the language and then listen for dog whistles, and rewrite the Playbook from time to time to preserve the exclusivity of the club. Have to keep the plebs in their rightful place.
