Consider also Sam Altman, who once argued that “we have to allow people to say disparaging things about gay people if we want them to be able to say novel things about physics”

Good grief, I had forgotten about that.

As a queer physicist, what can I say but "suck a bag of dicks, dipshit"?

Altman's line is what you write when you have nothing novel to say about physics but really, really want to say disparaging things about gay people.

And Altman is gay himself!
