Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm afraid I don't have much truck with Jason's apology. Because I simply cannot imagine how "gay" as a pejorative made its way into the vocabulary of a worldly man over fifty, and he even goes so far as to use it.
Obviously his apology is more well thought out and expressed that what you're going to get from the average 17 year old you'd chastise for doing the same thing. Bully for him, he's eloquent. But I can barely give the teenager a pass for not paying attention to how slurs are rooted, so I totally cannot for a man of his age.
How did it get into his lexicon in the first place?
Never mind the "I have gay friends and *they're* not offended" angle, because that's totally irrelevant. I mean...impressive. No, I guess I did mean irrelevant.
If it took that much legwork and consultation to work out it's a bad thing, I shudder to think what other epithets are lurking, unexamined, in the dark recesses of his brain.
Unrelatedly--wow, there are sure a lot of "ita moon" references that don't have to do with me (it's one of my backup user IDs). Like, people are using it as their nym. Uh, no you can't. Give that back. I'm not done with it yet...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well, that's a good thing.
I am ignoring Jason Alexander's existence.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Who do I write the letter to so they can take "ita moon" off the google?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dunno, check with the Santorum campaign.

Santorum's not doing badly. But, he's not doing that well either: [link]

It's pretty messed up, but I'm going to miss some of these people.
I greatly look forward to the day you're missing these people. If you miss them, you can bring them cookies.
