Am I being over sensitive?

'Miracle Gay'. Not big and not clever. More immature and damaging, actually. If I thought it were a comment on how over the top the gay jokes are and the fact that it comes across as vaguely homophobic, then maybe. But I really don't get that feeling, I think it's more of the 'it's so gay' that's hurting young LGBT people so badly.

I'm too lazy to egg his house.

What worried me was the fact that people might take it and run with it and use 'Miracle Gay' as the descriptor for it. And that happened, and they told me it wasn't offensive when I told them I was offended.

I am also super cross about the hyper-gay content of MD. I think you're right, that they wanted to keep the Jack/Ianto fans without realising what we were actually fans of. Failboat ahoy.

Maybe they were looking for something new to replace Miracle Whip? :)

I would have gone for 'Pistol Whip'. Miracle Whip is too sweet to be associated with this.
