Who gives away drugs? What’s the business model here? How will you get repeat business?
These people don’t think things through!

Yeah one of the many ways our culture is broken. :(
But did you double down on the affection after the gay rumors? Because, unless you feared violence, it seems like a great setup to mess with Straighty.
Back and forth, forever.
Ok so it’s just a math problem, then. Inheritance is taxed and incurs other costs, so there’s some re-distribution. Plus with multiple heirs, the estate may be divided.
So keep shooting for another couple of months. I’m just saying, it’s totally doable, it will just take a bit more effort.
Yes and after that, LSD-laced Disney character stickers being handed out in elementary schools.
Jesus, these fundies were have a different panic every month in the Reagan years.
Yes, that snippet went viral because it is so incongruous in the USA, especially. But such things are common elsewhere and it is not perceived as ‘gay’ or negative in any way.
I think of my own experience of learning how to live as a gay man in the way our culture accepts. I just have to wonder how it would have been different if I had been raised seeing and experiencing males touching each other with casual affection and no overt sexual undertones.
I had to go to gay bars to first experience socially sanctioned touching between men. In the sexualized atmosphere of US gay bars, it was hard to just enjoy the closeness - because of the implications.
That’s the reason I hate that saying so much.
It’s just a true statement. All lives DO matter.
But the hateful sub-text of the saying basically poisons compassionate people against what, in a vacuum, is just a basic moral value I hold dear.
In my career, I have had a lot of contacts with Saudi Arabian men. I’ve sometimes been a bit jealous of the ease and familiarity of their male-male friendships in that culture.
They generally have no qualms about just hanging an arm over a friends shoulder and just keeping it there for a protracted side-hug, seemingly without a thought.
Sure, there are other aspects of the culture that give me pause, but the easy familiarity is something that I think is beautiful.
Every weekend for the foreseeable future. A big event planned for April 19.
(I know you surely knew all this, I’m just playing the part, for the benefit of the audience.)

All of these comments are thoughtful and substantive.
But none of them consider the fact that some people are just plain oblivious.
You know, morons.
