I don't know if this proves that he hates gay people. Sure the remarks are offensive to say publicly, but many people make gay slurs and jokes all the time. Its part of life. In a way it degrades gay people but I don't think most people mean to actually poke fun at the fact of a homosexual. I say stuff sometimes jokingly about homosexuals to be funny, but I have nothing against gay people at all. Its in movies, songs, plays, all the time. People still make racist jokes about blacks, whites, Mexicans, and all sorts of people, but that doesn't mean they are racist. If that was the case Larry would be racist and a homophobe. So would nearly every other normal person in the world who has ever said anything degrading about another race....Maybe he does hate gay people? But nothing shows me proof of this.

My thoughts exactly, but you said it more eloquently than I ever could.
Well said.
