Sgaypegoat 

Verb or Noun, referring to a situation in which Gay men or Lesbians are blamed for something for which they were not responsible, but invoked as "bogeymen".

Mix of "scapegoat" and "gay".

The April 1989 explosion on a turret of the battleship USS Iowa -- killing 47 sailors -- was initially blamed on a hypothetical same-sex on-board romantic liaison, in order to deflect blame from the real cause, which was the institutional use of faulty munitions-handling processes. The US Navy was eventually forced to apologize to the family of the soldier "scapegoated as being gay", since:
(a) he was not gay
(b) he was in no way responsible for the explosion.

Many arguments are made against the admission of gays and lesbians into the US military. The USS Iowa "sgaypegoating" was a low point by any measure.

scapegoat 

(n.) A scapegoat is an event person or object that is used to lay the blame on for all that goes wrong, regardless of the contributions of others. This will usually carry on until the scapegoat has gone, or has managed to successfully defend itself against the arguements presented to it.

The word comes from Judaism. During mass reconciliation the rabbi would bring a goat to the alter. The sins of the people would be absorbed into the goat, and it would then be killed, its' blood staining the alter until cleansed. This is what Jesus Christ reflected in his crucifixion, being a scapegoat.


(v.) to make the scapegoat

I will not be made a scapegoat.


To be a scapegoat is to take heat.


Scapegoat was often burned, but sometimes the poor stole it and ate it.

Nazi Scapegoating

What evil people use to rationalize their cruel and wicked behavior against others. In reality, the ones that call their victims a "Nazi" are themselves a Nazi. Most notably used by filthy russian military scum to play down the killing and raping of innocent civilians.

Literally everybody: Hey bruh why'd you kill that man on the streets, he did nothing wrong.
Evil people: He was a Nazi. Had to clean out the dirt, you know.
Literally everybody: Bruh fuck off with that nazi scapegoating and come to terms that you killed an innocent man.
