Just this morning my neighbor in my apt building had a schizophrenic breakdown in our hallway. This only happens about once a year, and I've grown accustomed to it. This one she wasn't threatening violence, she was just railing on how she's a queen diplomat of the Taj dynasty investigating for genocide and there are…

I don't get this either, this idea that men being emotionless is strong and healthy. If I was with a man who never showed sympathy or empathy, or a man who never cried, I would think the OPPOSITE. People who do not cry are NOT emotionally healthy.

I work in mental health, and based on the videos, this guy IN NO WAY meets the definition of psychotic. Angry, depressed, misogynist? Yes! But he is certainly not out of touch with reality. In addition, it's very difficult to hospitalize a person or force psychiatric medications on a person unless they demonstrate…

One of the questions I've been asking since this weekend: What kind of parameters for "normal" levels of creepiness, hatefulness and objectifying women to the point of complete dehumanization were law enforcement working with? 'Cause I'm going with "frighteningly broad" until there's a shred of evidence otherwise.

Many issues for us men is that. Violence is not only normalized, but aggressiveness is considered a virtue. Emotionally opening up is demonized and all the pent up feeling and confusion goes somewhere, to some males it is work, some it is alcohol and to some it is violence. Apart from this being a virgin or someone…

Yeah, man. Because consensually taking your clothes off and getting paid for it is exploitative.

See, I've never used the term nor do I plan on doing so. The problem I have with the situation is people coming after someone who has the right to self-identify with a word that isn't even a slur in the context he used it. If the rhetoric were more reasonable and less pitchfork-and-knives toward RuPaul, it wouldn't…

To the people (like so many commenters here) who get angry when we point out that it's a shitty thing to call someone "tranny": Why is it any skin off your nose to simply not use the word "tranny"? Why do you need so desperately to use this word? I simply do not get it. Do you similarly demand the right to call Black…

Thanks for saying this. I have to realize that I am seriously old enough that well, younger adults have a completely different cultural experience of our community. I've never heard the word used as a pejorative, but more and more younger trans woman are saying, "I've never heard it used as anything but a violent…

I am still unsure as to whether she meant Jesus or the creepy ghost kid who apparently watches me sin.

Whenever anyone calls something gay we can say "Ugh, that's so straight". And when they get confused we explain it's when someone does something stupid like using bigoted slurs. But it has nothing to do with straight people. It's just so *straight*, you know?

One of the nicest compliments I ( a straight person who avoids asking people about their sexuality) ever received was from a workmate who said, "I know you're cool because of the way you avoid using gendered pronouns."

Agreed. I nominate beige cargo shorts.

I'm not particularly flamboyant, and I once had a coworker/friend decline to go shopping at the mall with me (something we had done before) because I "wasn't gay enough". Whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. Sorry I didn't want to watch Project Runway with her?

"NO! I am the least homophobic and most accepting person in the world!!"

I feel you, Mississippi! I'm totally disorganized too. I'm always locking my keys in the car and putting my shirt on backwards and forgetting to abolish slavery.

That's very kind of you to say, thank you very much!

Dude, you still haven't even given me an example. If it's the public face and widely transparent, you should've been able to easily give me at least one example. My point remains that what you see as the LGBT movements is what's in your head. This SMBC comic provides a great example of what I'm talking about: http:/…

So, gays are ok as long as they act how you want them to act. Nobody ever wanted to force any company to make games according to their "agenda." They are voting with their wallet, just like you apparently do, as well as voicing their opinions on this here and other comment sections. What's the difference between what…

I sure would hate for kids to play as characters they can identify with.
