and he’s hanging out with all the vapid “A” gays. Circuit boys, DJs and sex industry guys. And who is paying for all his travel?

Of course he want’s to run again. He saw that Mayor Pete’s orientation wasn’t all that big a deal, so he opened the closet door. Now the GOP gets their token gay, and they can say “See! We have a gay friend, so we can’t be homophobes.”

I also know that all of this notwithstanding, Aaron Schock will get laid by the very people he attempted to disenfranchise because he looks like this:

I completely understand why she has dropped and I still broken. FUCK this country. This is the smartest, most competent, most capable and genuine candidate in the whole field but the ignorant voters want to keep the status quo and go with another goddamned old white guy. FUCK this country.

That old guy is not wrong, hahaha

His husband didn’t even want to do a public event at a gay bar because there was a stripper pole FFS!

Except Pete never denigrated non-assimilationist queers. The non-assimilationist queers are projecting a rejection of themselves onto him. Unless I’m missing a quote from Pete where he says “all those flaming queens aren’t like me and my husband, we’re the good ones.”

God, Rich just couldn’t resist getting in one more “Pete’s not gay enough” hot take.
This need that some people seem to have for Pete and Chasten to be some kind of overtly performative, stereotyped version of a gay couple is kind of like if people in 2008 were wondering why Obama didn’t rap more on the campaign trail.

They showed us that we are not all walking stereotypes, which seemed to really irk so many in the “gay community”. So many hateful articles were written about Pete questioning his “gayness” because he didn’t fit in to their idea of what a gay person should be like.

So sophisticated videos are “previously uncharted territory” for boy bands? Y’all must be too young to remember Duran Duran. 

As a middle aged Brit I get a strong sense of deja vue., “Avant=Garde boy band”?This is hardly new. Spandau Ballet and others were doing the same thing way back in ‘80's Britain. This was during a period when the USA was going through a period of extreme insularity musically and missing out on a lot of great British…

IDK I thought the “sweeping reform candidate with ACTUAL FUCKING STEP-BY-STEP PLANS” was a pretty great niche but what do I know

This attitude that any disagreement between a woman and the trans community makes the woman a terf is infuriating. It makes me angry and less likely to feel welcoming towards transwomen when transwomen (and their misguided allies) call afab women TERFs if we dare to object to changes in society driven by transwomen tha…

I grew up in a family of runners. My dad coached for 50 years, high school boys and girls of every skill level from beginner to national level elites. I personally raced competitively for twenty years (I’m white male, cisgender). And seeing how my fellow runners and athletes have responded to the question of…

Mark my words - if transwomen are allowed to compete with no restrictions or other considerations (say needing to be in hormone therapy or have a certain lower level of testosterone) in women’s sports... then we’ll see women’s record after women’s record start to be owned by transwomen. Track and field scholarships…

If someone has gone through puberty as a biological male, then their lung size, bone density and muscle mass will be an advantage forever. Testosterone is certainly a big part of the picture, but it’s only one piece.

How come you never hear about Boys complaining about trans athletes beating them. Maybe it is because they don’t since they are disadvantaged by being biologically female for their entire life until their gender change and thus don’t get the phical development of biological males.

Nope. Testosterone is a performance-enhancing drug. That’s scientifically proven. If a transwoman has taken the appropriate hormones to lower her testosterone levels to the range seen for women, then she can compete. If she still has a testosterone level seen for males, then it is not fair to the other competitors.
