Homophobic Herald

I'm flabbergasted - the Herald censored my tribute to Mahinarangi Tocker.

In my original post I wrote: "...my gay, disabled, vegetarian comedian status could never beat her place as a Maori, lesbian, crazy (her words) musician."

I just reread it - they deleted "lesbian" before they published it, reducing her to a Maori, crazy musician. She so wasn't.

How homophobic. How insulting to both of us. I'm lost for words.
