If anything, he’s playing his own insecurities for a laugh, as the best humorists do.

His comic is #1 in the “matthew inman gay” search results now. (I know, because asking Google the question was how I found it.) And this blog entry is #3. Which came first, the search rank or the comments? I guess we’ll never know.

I’m gay and a big fan of Matt Inman, and have never once felt any of his postings to be homophobic (not even the “sissy bitches” comment). It behooves us all to distinguish satire from abuse, and innocence from malice. Perpetually seeking ways to play victim hinders any fight for acceptance.

That’s his job its how he makes his living if he contently corrected stuff but didn’t make it funny no one would read it
