I suggest that as a supporter and administrator of a website that
labels me as a faggot, and a participant and advocate of another
website that has been home to trolling me with homophobic language for
years, you avoid finding silly reasons to pick tiny holes in my text.

I am in a same sex marriage recognized by UK law. Being called /a gay/
is the least of my worries. In comparison your access to OTRS and
personal oversighted material on Wikimedia projects worries me and
others greatly.
