> [@Khaki\_Campbell](#): > > Yes indeed, for instance I don’t give a shit about gay people’s sexuality, so why the hell can’t they stop bringing it forward ? Like, “Hello, I’m Mike and I’m gay”. > > Do I fucking say “Hello, I’m Khaki and I’m straight” :rolleyes: ? Ummmm, just a thought. Maybe they are sick of people telling them how fucked up they are and what to do in their own lives and in their own homes? Bringing it forward? We see straights sucking face all the time in the open, in broad daylight. Stop flaunting that shit. Maybe they don’t give a fuck about your new “other” or marriage or latest conquest either. This sounds SO much like “be a quiet nigger and sit in the back of the bus”. :rolleyes: Those uppity bastards, bringing it up all the time. :rolleyes: I start to think they don’t give a damn if you accept them, just so long as you leave them alone for a change. Hell. I don’t like it when shit starts with “hi I’m a christian”. So what. You want a cookie? Hi I’m Steve and I hate everything. ---

Yeah, I got busted like that once before, by **Der Trihs** no less. I said a vagina was no more a pussy than a mouth was a face. His response: “Shut your face!” 😃 ---
