Teddy, you pin head! PFM is gonna pick the Legion of Boom apart like a chicken.

You said, "I really hope that something that comes out of this whole thing is that nobody,regardless of their orientation, tries to speak for us gays as a whole.It's a rainbow, people, not black and white."
I agree. There are obviously many queer people who are in Macklemore's thrall and think this song is the best thing ever. On the other hand, many of us find it offensive. No one should have to embrace it or treat it like a Faberge egg because someone else loves it.
Guess what? I find the song to be offensive and disrespectful. So, should I, then, say that your friends should be ashamed for holding the song in such high esteem and find meaning in it? I'm offended by that song. I feel it is disrespectful. I'm not going to put your friends' feelings above mine and pretend that…
Thank you for coming here to tell us gays that we have to love him and this song. We aren't into it. Also, there are black gay people (hi!) who were offended by the Grammy Committee giving him every award as if his album was anywhere near as good as Drake's, J Cole's, Kendrick Lamar's, or Jay Z's. I was offended on…
That makes me very sad. They are two of the smartest commenters here. They haven't left forever, have they? I've always said that nothing involving Lena Dunham leads to anything good. :(
Yeah, because it's awful when someone gives voice to the frustrations of black people who rightly feel that black artists were robbed in order to give the white guy an award. We're sick and tired of this bullshit. Drake, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay Z all released albums that were, according true consumers and…
Thank you Jezebel. I know there are going to be lots of comments imploring you to be nice to poor Macklemore, accuse you of being "smug," or condemning you for speaking up. Jezebel isn't always that great on race, but this hits the nail on the head. It is pretty gross that people here are bitching that Jezebel is…
Did you notice that I just started following you? Tell us the story of the Right Honorable Ninjacate and Kyosuke. Were they told they'd be grayed before it happened? I wasn't here during that debacle.
Thank you for that advice. I too agree that indoctrinating and initiating them into a group of which his mom and I disapprove. I knew I could find good advice here!
My wife and I finally had our son in November. I had some trepidation because he would be a biracial boy being raised by an interracial lesbian couple. Our little feminist in training is so cute, playful, and smart. I never ever imagined I could feel love and joy I'm feeling right now as I watch them asleep. But, now…
How do you know if you've been accepted?
Can I get a ride?
I forgot to add that it burns my ass when straight women say that not allowing them to throw their bachelorette parties at gay bars is like when black people weren't allowed to eat at white restaurants or lunch counters.
Oh, I don't think the hashtag counters the problems on Jezebel, especially since Jezebel not only treated it as if it didn't exist, but when it finally reported on it, Jezebel erased the black woman who created it and that it was one of the catalysts for it. Jezebel pretended it never happened, but its readers know…
Okay, back it up. You are lashing out at ME for the failures of Jezebel. I agree with everything you're saying. And, you agree with what I was saying but it seems like you're too angry to see it. I was saying that this person mentioning black men and misogyny (his point being that people would be annoyed if people…
Yeah and I just got jumped on by a gay man for making this point. He called me a racist against black people (I'm a black woman) and that I'm being part of the Jezebel lynch mob screaming "FAGGOT" (I'm a lesbian, so homophobia isn't really my thing). All I was trying to say was that it is inappropriate to bring in…
Yes! I'm a lesbian and even though I'm not welcome in many lesbian bars, if I were, I'd be SO PISSED if a group of gay guys came and held their bachelor parties at one. I still don't understand how straight women don't get that!! It is so damned disrespectful and I don't understand how they don't get it.
Oh, I know of the Hashtag That Dare Not Speak Its Name and I was party to its popularity on Twitter, to bringing it up on Jezebel every time the intersectionality test is failed here (that would be almost twice a day), and I go in on people who dare call anyone who brings it up a racist. Don't pull it with me.
Make new ones! I've sort of been in your situation. I'm a very femme lesbian whose only friends are gay guys because I'm not lesbian enough to be a lesbian. Since I came out at 15, the gay guys took me in. However, I've been in your "accessory" position. When you're used as part of an itemized list to read another man…
