Which is why the end of this article makes me desperately sad — because it won't happen.

Not anymore.

There is nothing better on the internet than Sean on a mission.

He really is. It takes huge balls to be as outspokenly progressive as he is when he's the co-face of an entire franchise.

Jaime Pressly is extremely funny in NATM, and at the time of its release, I said that to everyone I knew, to much derision. I patted myself on the back when she came good in "My Name Is Earl" (at least for a couple of seasons).

Sounds like the nascent stirrings of a Presidential campaign to me.

I think you let her move in, because it's your mother, and it's compassionate. But after that, it's "your house, your rules," meaning the Kamala Harris 2020 signs go up whether she likes them or not.

Thanks. I was being a little silly. My parents and I don't see eye to eye on many, many, many, many, many, many…you get the idea. But they're not insulting to me, and we still visit each other, etc. Still, there's kind of a void because it does make them very uncomfortable. And, consequently, I probably haven't…

I disagree. It all adds up.

I agree with some of this, but roundly reject most of this. For example, if our words can't at least shape the world, we should all just give up now.

My dad turned 65 literally 2 months ago. They were both waiting for this day (my mom is slightly older) so they could each quit their part-time jobs (my mom works 10 hours/week at a hardware store chain so they, and then just my dad, were covered; my dad has his job just for mad money). They have a nest egg and own…

Dad?

My parents (both rabid Trumpkins) are going to flip their shit when this happens, and I'm going to lauuugh and lauuugh (that is until they come visit me, begging for money for pills).

Eating a cookie in your honor. (Also stress-eating.)

I agree, which is what I tried to say in the first paragraph, when I said Holmes can write about anything he wants. He went way beyond my expectations regarding what I thought the book was going to go for, and for that I am thankful. But what I'm going for in the second paragraph is that I'm glad someone like…

Who cares? It's perfect.

The use of "precious" and "snowflake" immediately identifies an internet poster as a Macedonian teenager.

Then you don't know if it's obnoxious. You just apparently have a life to waste typing gibberish.

Then, next time, shut down your computer and go plant a garden instead of reading it.

This is a nice column to read during this hellish time. I particularly appreciated it because after just reading Dave Holmes' very good "Party of One," I was a little miffed about how quickly he glossed over his coming-out process. I mean, he didn't have to write about anything he doesn't want to, but considering…
