There was this exact notion in the 1960s with Civil Rights for other ethnicities. Equality for homosexuals is now evolving to be exactly like the past where people just did not enjoy the thought of other ethnicities marrying other ethnicities, or just Caucasians, because it was in their beliefs. Can you see the problem with this argument, now? It should be wrong when people make fun of sexuality. Not that the tweets given were necessarily making fun of homosexuality, of course.
It doesn't change the fact that there's a double-standard.
"This is a huge step forward for the
black community in their fight against
racism. For the first time in history, a
black President has been voted into office!"
... It's okay to divide people up into ethnic groups when discussing how race isn't supposed to be an issue? What were the man's policies, again?
The same thing is being done, here. "This is such a great step forward, this man is a hero!"
... No. He's another gay guy. He just happened to be in the NBA. Oh... and he's a 'meh' of a player at the end of his career who will need a reason for companies to pick him up for endorsements.
Which is precisely what the issue of race has become.
Our society is retarded, and is in need of small pox to return.
3. When people call heavier women "real women." If you look at an article with models in it, the comment section is always filled with people saying, "Eww! Look at those sticks! I prefer women who have more meat on their bones." It amazes me that people shun skinny women who make an attempt at being healthy, dismissing them as "fake", and then praise heavier women as being "real". What they don't understand is that not every skinny woman has an eating disorder, and throw up after every meal to shed the pounds. Some people actually have something called a "fast metabolism." People think they are taking the moral "high ground" by praising heavy women, but all they are doing is being insulting and ignorant.
The fact is that even though a lot of those women do not have an eating disorder, they do not get proper nourishment because of their attempts to stay within a certain figure. That is especially true of a number of women with a career or reputation 'in the public eye.'
Interestingly enough, actresses in pornography are often of similar proportions, but somewhat higher overall weight. Most men do find women with more 'skin-fat' to be more attractive within a given set of bodily proportions. There is individual variance, but that is a largely recent development brought about by the genetic variation allowed in our larger populations.
There are a couple interesting studies these articles cover:

Most guys are likely being truthful. They prefer a woman who has more amplified curves (though there is a point where higher fat ratios destroy the curves...). It's genetically wired into us, spare for the mutants.
That said - I think why guys tend to voice such a harsh opinion on the issue is a little thing known as the Red Queen. A primitive understanding of it is wired into our very being, plausibly at the genetic level. They know that there is a reason they have a preference for a certain figure - that it is undeniably attractive when a girl has a figure they like -and- know that's her 'natural' figure (she doesn't have to try for it). The suspicion that a woman is trying to deceive the ingrained preferences of guys (even if they are not successful) is seen as an afront to their nature - an attempt to get them to go against some natural order that exists for some unknown but perceived important reason.
