Hugs to you. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Take care of yourself. 💖

Yeah, not everywhere. Check your privilege. Rural Maine here, and I assure you there are still plenty of places in this country where coming out is not only difficult but dangerous. 

He had a book go up for preorder very recently. Not a coincidence, I think.

“the embrace of evangelical Christianity”

If you don’t find it homophobic in the extreme for somebody to straight-up equate homosexuality with debauchery, and to say that Buttigieg can’t be president because he hasn’t gone through his mandatory debauched period yet, then I don’t know what to tell you. Perpetuating harmful stereotypes is in and of itself…

I *have* seen it.

I'd love to hear what you've accomplished that makes you able to turn your nose up at Pete's experience. 

Whole lotta folks in here with perfect memories and childhood psychology degrees. LOL

It seems you need a throat punch. 

“I just thought I’d saved probably 5 recipes and then deleted them, just to have them not sync to my phone.”

If you deleted them, then they would also be deleted from your phone. That’s what “sync” means.

He was already walking around with the knowledge that he got beat up by Chad Smith’s wife, so clearly the guy’s used to these feelings. Best guess, that’s why he supports Trump so much. Makes him feel like what he thinks a real man ought to feel like.

I’ve been trying to be “better than this.” I can’t do it.

It’s goddamned CRAZY-MAKING. I write Rom-Com, and every time I find myself on any of the bestseller lists or Hot New Releases, there’s always a shit-ton of stepbrother porn (to say nothing of all the shifters and billionaires) hogging all the top spots. This is a real issue at Amazon, to be honest. I don’t mind…

Of course they will. It’s going to be in giant print right there next to him, not a single doubt in my mind.

Maybe he means the most important stereotype of all: that a man should be born with a penis.
