I saw some asshole driving a hummer this weekend. He was driving very slow and flashing the peace sign at people. The bastard made me miss my fucking light. I wanted to take his peace sign and shove it up his ass.

I can't imagine a gay man in a yellow H2.

Next time, flip off the driver of the H2 and post the picture here.

I'm concerned that the owners (who are straight) will officially designate the bar as straight.

How does one do that? My current favorite bar is owned by gay guys and (other than Sunday brunch, which is gay city) the crowd is primarily straight. My gay friends are always happy to meet there though, despite the make-up (and given that it is in Dallas, there is some make-up) of the crowd.

Straight or gay who cares. I am however tired of the occasional straight man who decides the appropriate way to behave in a gay bar is to pull down his pants and rub his ass against a drag queen. WTF?!

Is that the straight man seen occasionally, or the man that is occasionally straight? To me, the same thought should apply to the suburban bachelorette party attendees that occasionally show up at a gay bar with phallic food products screeching like little kids.

Christ, are we back to the double anal discussion again?

The man is straight, most straight men behave just fine in gay bars, but the occasional straight man does not.

Hm. Each H2 driver could also be punished by being subjected to double anal penetration by rabid carniverous squirrels. Works for me, though it does seem a bit unfair to the squirrels.

Oh god. Those women give a bad name to straight women in gay bars everywhere. Makes us fag hags look suspicious by association.

And there's something just tacky about straight men going to gay bars and accepting drinks from suitors without letting the suitors know that nothing is likely to happen beyond the drink.

ETA to change "going to" into "likely to" cuz it's not gay if you're the one that's blown.

I hate this fucking mis-application of a formerly useful phrase.

Not a mis-application. It's actually used this way now. I would say that the phrase currently has two meanings, but who in their right mind would say "on the down low" at all anymore?

"no diga no más" is the new "secret supérieur" which was the new "ixnay" which was the new "don't ask, don't tell" which was the new "nuff said" which was the new "hush hush" which was the new "on the dl" which was the new "on the down low". Word!

Want a piece of advice?
You might want to use the phrase around the partners. It'll make them think you'll be making them hipper if they hang around you.

What is the argument that "men can do everything women can" an element of?

Manimism? Manism? Machoism?

Umm, the word you are looking for in this case may be "equality".

However, the context is different because the customs are different in the straight dating world and the gay dating world. apples, oranges. Hard to equate.

• KEVIN Spacey, the double Oscar-winning actor, said yesterday that his "incredible embarrassment" after a bizarre incident in a London park in the early hours of the morning had caused him to lie to police.
  
  The star of American Beauty and The Usual Suspects was at the centre of a mystery after he reported he had been assaulted and robbed of his mobile phone while walking his dog in a park near his home at 4:30am on Saturday.
  
  He reported the attack within half an hour and received hospital treatment for minor injuries. But a few hours later, he returned to the station and withdrew the assault claims.
  
  Interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Spacey said he wanted to "set the record straight" and to apologise.
  
  He explained that he had reported the attack after a young man conned him into handing over his mobile phone as he walked his dog.
  
  "What actually happened is I fell for a con. And I was incredibly embarrassed by it. Some sob story about somebody needing to call their mother and could they use my phone."
  
  "It was such a good con, that I actually dialled the number myself and when somebody answered, I then finally handed [over] my phone," said Spacey.
  
  He said he gave chase when the youth took off with his phone, but tripped over his dog and hit his head on the ground.
  
  "And now I’m bleeding relatively profusely - I’m extremely upset, I feel like the biggest fool that has ever lived."
  
  Spacey, 44, said: "I march over to the police station and say I got mugged, and I’m thinking they are going to run out and find this kid a block later. They take me to the hospital and they are very kind. That is one of the reasons I went back on Saturday morning to the police station."
  
  He woke up after a couple of hours sleep and thought better of his initial report, he said.
  
  "I thought, there is a difference between assault and theft and it just wasn’t on for me not to come clean about my own level of embarrassment and being humble about the fact that I got taken in by the oldest con going."
  
  He added: "I want to apologise to the police, and any readers and anyone who picks up this story thinking it is true. I’m fine. It is probably good that I got bumped on the head because obviously I wasn’t thinking."
  
  When asked what he was doing in the park at that time in the morning, he admitted that people might be wondering, but added: "My doggy had to go."
  
  The theft happened in the Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park, in Lambeth, near London’s Old Vic theatre where Spacey is artistic director.
  
  A police spokesman said a man in his 40s, with a minor head injury, had reported the theft of his mobile on Saturday.
  
  Spacey, who appeared with his friend Bill Clinton at the Labour Party conference in 2002, has had a home in Britain since he became involved with the Old Vic.
  
  In the past, Spacey has been dogged with rumours that he is gay and once told an American magazine: "It’s just that the less you know about me, the easier it is to convince you that I’m the character on screen."

Walking his dog at 4:30 am in a park? Hmmmmm.
