So they know censored, national TV Dave... not crude, nightclub Dave.

I think he could use a language upgrade regarding how he talks about LGBT folks but he's also going to have to respect the fact he just doesn't and isn't going to have the same leeway to speak freely in that lane that he does with racism.

He can speak on racism because he's lived it. He can't say the same for what LGBT folks go through so his opinions are going to be perceived as from an outsider rather than an ally unless he really builds up a track record of participating in their causes.
