I imagine it actually made it much easier to manage a large cast of teen dancers if they did not have romantic interests in their dance partners. You can pair off girls and boys that “look good” together, make up a story line, and play up the fantasy relationship without worry of tension between them in real life.

I feel all sorts of sad for these closeted kids, of course, but I also love this story. It’s important to be able to look back on heteronormative institutions and see the queer reality beneath the surface. It helps to destroy the myth that things were “better” and “normal” [again, read: heteronormative] in the “good…

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a writer in possession of a blank headline must be in want of a dead celebrity.

THANK you. Jesus Christ there are some dramatic people up in here. Everything I’ve read indicates they are extremely similar. Just because Bernie endorsed Ellison doesn’t make Perez Satan incarnate. I quite like Sanders, but he does inspire some rabid followers...

I literally had to read your comment several times to try to figure out that you WEREN’T just saying “god forbid we respect the DNC chair.” Because I mean...if you’ll literally leave the party because the guy you liked (which, let’s be honest, a lot of people were fired up about Bc a dude who doesn’t even call himself…

You know, I try, but the wounded ego/guilt/sadness self-effacing whinge-fest about how SORRY they are and how they’re TRYING tends to make it not worth it. Or that’s my experience anyway.

But it’d be great if heterosexual men would talk to each other about this, so their girlfriends don’t have to keep writing orgasm Sparknotes.

I’d add, don’t fuck a Republican guy, ladies and your chances of getting off will be incrementally greater*

Over/under on number of comments in this thread being men humblebragging about how much they make their ladies orgasm and expressing disbelief that other men don’t?

I think the mindset is that trans people shouldn’t exist. That you should stick with/present as the gender you were assigned at birth, because anything else is perverted and sinful. So the way to solve the problem isn’t for trans people to stay at home - the way to solve the problem is for them to go back to their…

I think we all know these people’s answer: No, trans people shouldn’t use either bathroom. They should stay home and out of public, or preferably disappear altogether. They’re not genuinely worried about trans people molesting little kids*, they’re upset that trans people exist and that society is ready to start…

I’m actually kind of hoping high profile Republicans go with the mental illness angle because then we can point out that they just passed legislation giving the mentally ill more guns.

Most of my family and friends in the U.S. (all Indian) are extremely educated professionals: a post-doc research scientist, many are E.R. doctors, surgeons, a former government advisor economist, etc. I wonder how many of them took those highly skilled jobs away from Trump supporters like this:

How unfair to set bond at $2 million. Clearly, this guy already has enough economic anxiety.

Things you knew you were going to get with Hillary: Equal rights, respect, the protection of the government. Quelle horreur.

The only moral abortion is my abortion. The only time I do not insult Obamacare is when my insurance is cut. The only time I promote gay rights is when my child comes out to me.

How can anyone be this stupid? Caitlyn isn’t the only one surprised by this! Other people are too! Why? How could anyone be surprised? It’s lead poisoning, isn’t it? We as a nation are paying the price for it, aren’t we? If you care about LGBT issues (on the side of not hating people for no reason), you vote for the…

With Hillary, you pretty much know what you’re gonna get with the LGBT community.

I was just about to post something similar. I’m not a sore loser, I’m a pissed off citizen who doesn’t want to see my country destroyed by bigots and hypocrites.

If your representative won’t hold a town hall, hold one yourself, invite them, invite the media, and read off a list of concerns and demands.
