That post confuses me. I've always seen the word "discourse" used to mean discussion, or hashing something out via discussion. What the hell is meant by "queer discourse needs to die, right now"? When I tried to read more comments in an effort for clarification, I got blocked (a popup required signing up, which ain't gonna happen). Anyone?

They are using that word without regard to the word's actual meaning. TRAs do that with the word "dialogue" too: they say, "We want a dialogue about X," but then that just turns out to be them monologuing at you and getting pissed at you if you don't believe their claims completely and immediately.

Thanks, RC. Yeah, that's what I suspected - a case of "that word does not mean what you think it means". Idiots. 🙄
