No, no, no. All lesbians suck on the dildo.

That said, I don't think my brother or any of my gay friends have too hard of a time of it here in Houston. People are always shocked about that, and I don't think that 20, 30 years ago that would have been the case outside of Montrose.

Dallas has a thriving gay community too. And I loved hanging out in Oak Lawn. However the overall integration into the rest of the community was not so good.

I always thought that the reason that Dallas had a strong gay community (in certain areas) was because of the level of bigotry gay people faced not just in Dallas, but in the region. I think that gay kids growing up in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma flocked to Dallas and Houston and built up their gay communities because it was so harsh for them where they came from.

Maybe I've lived in bastions of disability rights enlightenment.

I'm pretty sure that I do. I work in healthcare. Everyone is fucked up in some way here.

Then you shouldn't have started the argument, and continued it, and tried to close it in this manner, which is the lamest bullshit attempt at a last word ever invented.

I would call you a pussy, and I wouldn't mean man-octopussy, but as Less's cocksucker post suggests, why should this be an insult?

(Ok, Sidd, go ahead and call me hormonal.)

What's so bad about saying "let's not argue about this anymore, we don't even really disagree"?

Do you want to know why I made the original statement? Because I do a lot of work with people who have disabilities and I see how much hateful shit they put up with on a daily basis, and I wish that people would consider the way they often get treated to be as disgusting as the way that, say, some minorities often get treated. I personally find "retard" just as hateful as "nigger." That was the point; I didn't even want to get into all this racial stuff, and I think that it would been avoided if I had just said "compared to the way that it used to be, there aren't _that_ many of those comments anymore."

If you want to turn it into a post about what a bastard I am, fine, do it. Masturbate while you think about it over the weekend. Have fun. Let it make your life happier.

You are such a one-trick prole. What don't you understand about "that many" meaning less than there used to be in a professional setting? Or do you really think that things are the way that they were, say, even in the early 90s when it comes to, for example, comments about "homos fucking each other up the ass" and "catching AIDS"? Law's always been touchy-feely; ask dtb what the (straight, white, conservative) boys on the desk are like even today.

There is a one-trick prole around here, but it aint her. She is more sandy vagina.

This might be the only chance I have not to have to live through the prom night Sebby has predicted for her....

As I was reading this, I was reminded of an episode in my childhood. I grew up in the midwest and our next-door neighbors were from Texas and Arkansas (dad from AK, mom from TX -- they had relocated to midwest nirvana -- next door to us). Anyway, when we were kids, we would play this game called "Smear the Queer" (we were really PC back in those days), which involved a bunch of us running around trying to tackle the kid with the ball (the one with the ball was "the queer"). The person with the ball would run around trying to escape everyone, and could toss the ball to someone else whenever if he didn't want to be "smeared". (At least, I think those were the rules -- it's a bit hazy.)

Of course, none of us knew what "queer" even meant, other than it was in the name of this really high-tech game we played.

Well one day, one of the kids from the TX/AR family told us that his dad suggested, nay, insisted! we call the game something else, because it really wasn't very nice to call the game "Smear the Queer". I think that may have been my first introduction to what "queer" meant.

I think their relative enlightenment must have been because they were Methodists, not Baptists.

Ummm, dear, Daddy didn't mind the slur being used. He just couldn't stand for his little boy to be the "queer" every 6th turn. And as to your old neighborhood? Detroit proper voted by 60% to ban gay marriage.

Yes, but has Guy on cell ever been to him?

Fair 'nough, but they didn't pick the location that would have created the greatest shock for their audience. Everyone basically expects the urban poor to suffer outrageously in India.

Maybe so, but I think what they were drawing attention to was the fact that she raised all this money by playing on the conditions of the people she was conciously keeping in squalor and then taking that money and using it for something completely different. So, showing the worst conditions, in the places where she spent the majority of her time served them well.

Well, (i) I though it was effective, but I wouldn't rate it as "very," (ii) given that their audience is more you and me than people fond of admiring the holier-than-thous of the world, I think the segment could have been better aimed for their actual audience, and (iii) I thought including Ghandi (horndog with a school girl/enema fetish) and the Dalai Lama (basically a later-day deposed Shah in an orange sheet) underplayed by association the extent to which Mother Theresa was, not just not-holier-than-thou, but a real monster who not only caused but openly rejoyced in the suffering and death of multitudes.

I can agree with that. But I don't think they wanted to bombard you with the hypocrisy or atrocities to show you just how unholier-than-thou any one person in that group was. I think that they wanted to point out examples of how these people are just like you or worse -- the theory being, if you can show that someone who is revered by so many people as beyond reproach is no better than you in many ways, you will see that holding them up as holier-than-us is bullshit.

I love the show, mind you, I just thought that one was weaker than most of the others. The circumcision season opener, for example, totally kicked ass. The old dude hanging dumbells from his dork was a complete riot.

I thought the one about colleges was the worst. They really didn't say anything besides, "college is too pc." And my attitude on that is, big fucking deal. Reality comes with the diploma, four short years away.

I am continually amazed by the people here in the Midwest who don't realize that phrases like "jewing down the price" or "we got gypped" are ethnic slurs.

In 1994, when I lived in Spain, I was explaining to a friend about how I had to carry laundry for a considerable distance and that is why my shoulder ached and he said, "Debes comprar un negro." I was utterly floored.

I can't heeeeeeear you.

Not really, but I will note that once again, you turn the argument into something it's not. I never said you were a bastard, I said you used a lame technique. Bt if it makes you feel important to think that your image rises to the level of bastard in my imagination, or anyone else's, so be it. Let it make your life happier. And I believe I'm mainly correct when I say that nobody here , other than yourself and possibly Sidd, would masturbate to thoughts even remotely associated with you, because you come across like someone who is generally ignored in real life, yet feels that he shouldn't be because of his obvious way with words,overall sense of fun, enlightened attitude, and vigorous driving skills.

Grrrrr, tiger.

You are so sweet.

Actually, and I don't just say this to toot my own horn or to point out that men are full of shit, I say it because it's just become topical, last night he told me that I was "the best lay in the entire fucking universe." So cute.*


*I thought that was a bit of an exaggeration. There are probably six-breasted she-creatures on the planet krakow that are better lays than I am. But you never know.

1) Why did he get down-graded to non-bf? (hi Mr. Lipschitz!)
2) I would not be too psyched to be referred to as a lay. And definitely don't call me Mrs. Blowjob Camel.

I heard "he jewed me" and "kike" before I knew what a Jew or Judaism was (well before I knew it was offensive). And we played "smear the queer" too. The neighbor kids called bottle rockets with the stem cut off "n***** chasers". The midwest, just like the south, is full of ignorant hillybilly redneck crackers. It's improved, but not by much.

You find Judaism offensive?

I couldn't steer clear of it in 2004, so I doubt I could have in 1985. I'm not joking. BigLaw. Firm functions.

What I am trying to convey is that there is a level of societal acceptance of homophobia that people don't even consider that some among their audience might be offended. Within my peer group, I had no problem sitting at lunch nad explaining to people why those comments aren't acceptable to me (still didn't stop the comments entirely, mind you, because even my friends who knew my POV were so used with the idea that it was okay that later comments would slip out in my presence). Outside of my peer group? Forget it.

People on the coasts and in Chicago can say to themselves "ah, we're on the right track with getting rid of homophobia" and pat themselves on the back, but until you've been in certain parts of the country, you are fooling yourselves. Why do you think the anti-gay marriage thing is such a big deal? It isn't because of people on the coasts arguing whether civil unions or marriage is the right way to go. Hell, Texas just took away the right of gay people to be foster parents. Even to children that have already been placed with them.

Head. Sand. Welcome to the US of fucking A.

You sure seem to take this all pretty personally for someone who claims not to be gay. So, how is Mr. Beard, er, Mr. Man?
