They do? Great! Let's get rid of them.

Probably the only good thing DOGE has done is slash TSA funding.

It turned him gay after one scan! That is why, when his wife called the hotel room, a random guy answered the phone. He explained to her that her husband is now gay because of the airport scanner and he would be turned back once he scanned again. "They work like switches, he said to her, and then added, "and boy was your husband turned on!” He went in to explain it always makes her husband gay when travels.

"Refuse airport bodyscan searches!"

"Because they're a means of privacy invasion and demostrates the TSA's pointless existence yet dangerous power?"

"No, becuase they'll turn into a sausage-loving twink!"

Christianity is the silliest of all the religions.

And that’s saying something.

There are some really silly ones

Yet Christianity is the silliest.

Sexy ass blonde man in a loin cloth showing off his shredded abs… plastering this image everywhere.

Worshiping this sexy man.

And then being like “gay is bad mkay”

Silly.

If this got rid of those scanners, I wouldn't complain.

In case anyone is wondering why they say stupid shit like this, it's because they need to be able to convince a whole lot of stupid people that being gay can be "cured", just as it can be caused. And the cure? Religion.

It's all a big scam.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

I figured it was so that when it's discovered that they've been boning other dudes (or kids unfortunately) they can blame TSA scanners or some other shit. Surely it can't just be that they're monstrous assholes.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

As stupid as this is, I see mostly positive consequences coming from this: either they'll oppose TSA, or they'll refuse to fly. Both sound like a win to me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

But TSA is also big into molesting people and touching them inappropriately.

Which makes it a big win for conservatives.

I do feel a little more flamboyant every time I take a flight.

I mean, as much as the next thing. We don't really know what would turn people gay.

Far-IR radiation is male, so sending it through your dick makes you gay.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago

... and adds, "so if anyone catches me sucking dick in the airport bathroom, that would be why."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago

It happened to him & he felt the need to warn everyone. 🤣🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 hours ago

He doesn't want to go into the gay machine so he prefers to get patted down by other men.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm... Every gay person I know has drank water. He should probably stop drinking water just to be safe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Orrrr drink a ton of it!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

It’s pretty telling when you make up fantasies about things that become part of your core beliefs because you think about them that much.

Just sayin. It’s pretty obvious.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Stop it! Stop giving stupid people attention. Seriosly. They feed their stupidity with attention. Just ignore, dont't share and they will dissapear.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Wait, since the homophobes are in power, can we use this?

Turns out defunding science turns you gay, guys..

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Low taxes on rich people make them gay.

Hating someone for the color of their skin is the gayest thing you could do.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 hours ago (5 children)

He's using that as an excuse to have gay sex on when he travels. When you get scanned on the way home it turns you back straight. Or makes you gay^2 more research needs to be done.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

"Sorry honey I walked trough a scanner and suddenly found myself with his dick in my mouth."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Going through a second time cancels out the gay polarity. Just make sure you always go through an even number of times and you'll always land back where you started.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

That is most definitely not how to reverse the gay polarity.

Let me guess, he was caught in the airport mens toilet on his knees and came up with this?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yea! Always opt out of the scanner and get groped by a male TSA agent instead. That's definitely the less gay option!

Dude, you were gay already and just hadn't admitted it to yourself.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago

seems like they are running out of funny things to say

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Then why was I gay before I ever flew? Seriously when I was young and my peers were getting crushes on girls, I was getting crushes on boys. Seems I always liked boys and was never interested in girls.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 hours ago

your mom probably walked through one while pregnant /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Well, if you're a frog, it was the water.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Just because airport scanners turn you gay, that doesn't mean there aren't other ways to be gay.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I think when you think all sorts of everyday experiences can "turn you gay", you might possibly be gay? And what do the scanners do to gay people? Turn them straight, or somehow more gay?

Like, I've tried all sorts of things in my life, including same-sex sex, and am still straight - like even if I were actively trying to change my sexuality it doesn't. Sometimes to my despair, as I get older, it would be easier to not have such a strong preference.

For the love of God why is the right so fucking obsessed with people's sexuality? Leave people the fuck alone...

Can confirm. I was super straight until I locked eyes with that tall dark and handsome TSA agent on the other side of the machine. Sounds like this dude has a similar story.

So just HOW gay can an airport scanner make you? Merely fabulous? Or are we talking midriff-baring t-shirt and nut-hugger shorts Fire Island gay?
