Thanks. Yep, the 80's and 90's were brutal - especially the 80's - for many reasons. I did know quite a few people who were lost in the plague, but I was VERY lucky in that none of them were from my very closest circle. I did come out of that time, though, having learned the lesson that life = constant loss, which…

Ugh, THANK YOU.

I think it’s because it’s mostly breeders around here who don’t understand the power dynamic between 2 gay men, which is nothing like the dynamic between het men and women.

I hate to say it, but I doubt he is the only one in that family, or the OC franchise for that matter, who is. I think most of them probably are. But DEFINITELY Ryan, Briana (by necessity to keep her marriage) I’m sure Vicki is too. Michael, I’ll say 50/50. Possibly he’s one who is too stoned usually to pay any…

It’s been around since day one, and I’m kind of surprised that nobody in this thread seems to know about it?

Ucch *of course* there are rumors of “strife between Markle and Kate”. It would be damned near impossible to have two women in the picture without setting them up to fight/pitting them against each other. Everything has to be a bitchfight.

Me too. I was in the greys for *at least* 6 years, probably more, until magically one day I wasn’t.

Yes, I’m sure you’re right. It’s just strange to me how she is the only royal who, years after marrying, is still frequently called by her maiden name when she has made it expressly clear that she doesn’t want to be.

WHY are we still calling her Kate MIDDLETON? That hasn’t been her name since 2011.

The male pattern baldness gene is recessive and carried on the X chromosome. So yes, men get it from their mothers, but it’s not so simple as “look at your maternal grandfather and that’s what you’ll be”.

Because shaved-head looks like shit on 95% of men? (And 99% of Caucasian men).

IDK about fertility testing per se, but it’s been SOP for a very long time that women marrying into royalty are examined by a doctor beforehand to ensure there were no visible reasons why they shouldn’t be able to bear children. I’m certain Kate was too.

I don’t know them too well, but I can say “Not Too Soon” is a total kickass song and one of my perma-faves.

Yes, he does. Also known as the men’s gunt.

Thank you. You saved me from being That Guy™. 😉

Whether LVP really loves the gays, IDK. She DOES love to use the gays for self-promotion opportunities though. That much I can say.

Mauricio’s mom is a Trumper. Like, a way-out-there rabid nut-job level Trumper. Now, I don’t hold this against Mauricio or Kyle, parents and children can be quite opposite politically. I mean, I *hope* they’re not Trumpers too, but IDK.

**Democratic

I’ve thought for years that the Pritzkers are who I’d model myself after if I somehow became mega-wealthy. They’re sort of the anti-Trumps; they’ve made (actual) billions off their brand without spraying their name all over everything for ego service. They, like I, value the low profile.

Ucch. Believe it or not, it’s possible to be attracted to more than one type. Also, the actions of that one guy you knew aren’t indicative of anyone other than that one guy you knew. I mean, sweeping generalizations? Really?
