No, because you bring up the tiresome "have a thick skin" silliness for the indefensible.
"Normal" is not riling off dozens of tweets with racial slurs (everyone knows the N-word with "ger" at the end is different in context than "ga"), homophobia, sexism, etc.
I'm sure sometime in the past I probably used "fag" as an insult without knowing the whole story because I was ignorant and 13 years old, but I sure as hell never said I hated gay people.
