Yeah, I dunno. Usually I just hear people called pedophiles because it's about abuse, not sex. I don't generally hear "straight pedophile," "gay pedophile" or "bi pedophile." It still doesn't mean he was queer-identified.

I'd be more interested in a sequel, and getting to see what Westeros is like 1000 or so years later.

I feel like I'm carrying water for them, when I was only really a casual fan. There's a whole subculture of fans that are younger than me and are way too invested in the band and each other. That is not me. I had their first album, had tickets to see them in July, and had yet to (and have still yet and likely won't)…

I understand that, but I'm still thinking about it through a prism of LGBTQ identitiy, which was the point of the post. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I think about your Polanskis, your Cosbys, your Woody Allens, et all and while yes, PWR BTTM doesn't hold a candle to them in terms of their money and power, I still…

It would matter if someone had raised the issue about justice for the queer identified

You're right (again!). It's me who can't keep it up, not you!

I'll just wait for your edicts on gender identity.

Right. Your validation comes from cheering their falls.

I hate singers who wear their identities on their sleeve as they perform. That's why I only listen to straight-identifying artists.

I thought the summary was that you are the arbiter of other people's identity.

Nothing sounds like a surefire ticket to success like pretending to not conform to gender.

These are the bathroom predators we were warned about. And just think, if they had just admitted to being straight (as everyone here KNOWS they are!) their label probably wouldn't have dropped them!

I agree. People who are different are bound to be criminals.

I'm gonna vote no on him bring queer, since there's no indication that's how he identified.

You welcome, bb

I can't believe someone who calls a queer-identified person a straight man would use the word "misgendered" in earnest, so the meaning behind your comments is inscrutable. I'm not sure what you're POV is, so I can't tell if your comments are in good faith or not. You write with the authority of someone who has…

Okay, dad.
