f slur in the song “rant” and just homophobic jokes throughout the whole show
use of queer as a slur in the song “words words words”
calls shakespeare an “androgynous douche” in “haikus/sonnet/shakespeare” and also calls himself a “theatre queer” in that song
(side note: there’s an aids joke in the song “words words words”, referring to it as a “butt virus”, and i’m not sure what category it should go in but it needs to be somewhere)
(additionally, he mentions aids in the song “rant”)

“the radical feminists made my wife a man”
“men and women, it’s black and white with an area of grey for h*rmaphrodites”
“a h*rmaphrodite playing a keytar” -that one isn’t misgendering necessarily i just feel like it’s important to point out
“you sent your only son to die for us, your ONLY son, but we’re all your children, so in your eyes, we’re a bunch of girls. so help us as we struggle with the temptations of lesbianism. amen.” (i kinda love that last bit (i’m a genderqueer lesbian) but it might be triggering for people)
calls shakespeare an “androgynous douche”
in rant: “transgendered substantiation”
“noam chomsky wearing a strap on” (what’s funny)

-“a show about jews in n**i germany called ‘under the floorboards’”
-“love is the holocaust: if you don’t die quick then you don’t get thinner” in a song played during the encore called “love is”
-joke about anne frank (surprisingly not that offensive but could still be triggering, especially because the word n**i is included)
-“hitler was there and so we’re all the jews so it got a little awkward”
-joke about christian hell at the end of “haikus/sonnet/shakespeare”
-“men are like nazis, ‘cause they both caused the holocaust” in the song “men & women” (not necessarily antisemetic but n**i mention and holocaust mention should be noted)
