BUT they could have at least changed the line to “did your MOM pick it out for you,” someone suggested, while another noted, “When the punchline is gay marriage it’s not really a good punchline.”“British TV network ITV removed the vaguely homophobic line Spider-Man says to Bonesaw in the first Raimi film,” one more added.

Ketanji Brown Jackson, US President Joe Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court pushed back on questions about same-sex marriage and gender identity during her confirmation hearing on Tuesday.Questioning Jackson on the Supreme Court’s role in making policy, Cornyn asked, “When the Supreme Court decides that something that is not even in the Constitution is a fundamental right and no state can pass any law that conflicts with the Supreme Court’s edict, particularly in an area where people have sincerely held religious beliefs, doesn’t that necessarily create a conflict between what people may believe as a matter of their religious doctrine or faith and what the federal government says is the law of the land?” Republican Senators questioned Jackson on gender identity issues with an overtly transphobic line of questioning. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn asked Jackson about her definition of “woman.” “Can you define the word ‘woman’?”Jackson responded in a bewildered tone: “No, I can’t… Not in this context.
