I'm currently reading "Power, Privilege, and Difference" by Allan Johnson and he discusses this in one of the chapters.

I love (by "love" I mean "hate") that excuse. Especially when they come back with the "I'm against all PDA's" line of BS. It's such a blatant lie. I've never seen a heterosexual couple harassed or shamed to that degree simply for holding hands, or hugging or sharing a short kiss in public. Never.

Ohhhh that "throwing it in people's face" thing really enrages me. These people then try to justify their statement by saying things like "I'm uncomfortable when ANYONE makes out with their partner in public, hetero or no," but it's bullshit. Utter bullshit. I don't think these people have ever actually seen a gay…

Exactly...and they say we're the ones making a big deal out of sexuality? They started this fight, they're just pissy that it's no longer completely one-sided.

I think that's an impressively insightful comment for YouTube.

Well, I remember that my refusal to identify as a boy infuriated my peers. I talk about that as a distinction between me and many of the cisgender gay men I know and call friends. They would say, "I am a boy." I would remain silent. Saying clearly to everyone, "I am a girl" was too dangerous, but saying, "I am a boy"…

I actually think there's something to that idea, although I'm not entirely clear if it's something I should have the main voice on, given that I am not a cisgender gay man and never was a cisgender gay boy. What I do know is that in my own experiences, I gave notice over and over and over that views of me as a "gay…

:D

This is a great idea for keeping them away. Ducklings abhor nudity.

similar thing happened to Mr. AnnieZelma a couple of years ago on Bearss Ave. Baby ducks just couldn't hop the curb, so he stopped traffic to scoop them up so they could follow Mama Duck. Little buggers ran everywhere, and he had just started Ivig treatment and was incredibly fatigued and having to chase them. Got…

It's like a clown car. They just don't stop coming out.

Make way for ducklings! This video warmed the cold cockles of my heart, and made me think of this wonderful sculpture inspired by that childhood classic. Check it out if you're in Boston...

I could watch duckling rescues all night. Actually, maybe I will. Flappy feet. That peeping noise they make. Happy mama ducks at the end. Yep. New plan for tonight.

this is so sweet. and because they were rescued it's sort of hilarious to picture how they got themselves into this mess. the mother duck is like, 'whoops'.

I'm sure they all appreciated the rescue, but I don't blame those ducks for running like hell. They probably expected him to give chase, yelling about the good word of Jesus.

those storm drains are a momma duck's worse nightmare. Happens all too often.

D'awwww! Good job, Elder Ducky!

I still answer the door nude to make sure they never come back.
