LINK Writer who attacked Dr. Jill Biden also called gay people the N-word and said they’re all “cursed” / Queerty

Writer Joseph Epstein made quite a fool of himself last week when he published an embarrassing op-ed in the Wall Street Journal trying to argue that Dr. Jill Biden wasn’t really a doctor because she doesn’t practice medicine.

“Jill Biden should think about dropping the honorific, which feels fraudulent, even comic,” Epstein wrote of the incoming first lady’s use of the title, which she earned when she completed her doctoral degree in education leadership from the University of Delaware.

Now, it’s been revealed that this isn’t the first time 83-year-old Epstein has embarrassed himself by writing an inflammatory op-ed on a topic he clearly knows nothing about.

In 1970, he published an essay in Harper’s Magazine in which he described LGBTQ people as “cursed” and “afflicted without apparent cure,” saying he wished “homosexuality off the face of the earth” and calling all gay people “n*ggers.”
