It is profoundly bizarre. I know a decent number of gay men, mostly via work. Some are flamboyant, some are subtle. Some are flirtacious, some are introverted. Some are talkative about their lives, others are not. The only conclusion I can draw, given my experience with “the gay lifestyle” is that “they” are consummate professionals who excel in their line of business I realise this is observer bias, but I cannot really see any other common thread that ties my gay friends and colleagues together aside from business acumen and sexual orientation. If that is the “gay lifestyle” then I need to reconsider my life choices. I could be rich! ---

I’ve read his post several times, and I’m not sure if he’s saying that pronouns made his totally not gay porn-watching girl ogling red blooded conservative male “friends” fuck each other, or if he’s saying they always fucked each other but he didn’t notice until the liberals invented pronouns. This obsession with pronouns coming from people that obviously failed second grade grammar and think pronoun means “a word I don’t like” is hysterical, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some moronic state legislatures actually outlawed the use of pronouns. ---

My bet would be Florida. They already have the “don’t say gay” law. ---

Just laid a massive turd in the Biden thread: “Biden the most divisive and hateful President in recent memory”?! Must have a very short memory. No cites or quotes of any sort given, of course, nor will I be holding my breath waiting for any. Plonked for good this time too. ---

It’s such an odd comment. What kind of news sources could he have? He’s posting from some alternative universe. Biden seems so laid back and inclusive, I just don’t see how anyone can see him as hateful. ---

I guess? Does Biden actually say anything hateful about anyone? I suppose I don’t follow his speeches that closely. Back to the subject at hand, HBDC is extremely confused, and it’s evident in all of his threads. ---

Man, that sums it up perfectly. ETA: There’s another poster with a similar handle, starts with an H, that I always confuse with HBDC. Similarly confused on all things. Anyone know who I’m thinking of? I can’t remember. (who’s confused now??) ---

Why, it’s almost like he gets all his news from a limited number of heavily biased sources and primarily carries out in-person ‘conversations’ with like minded people or people who feel (due to etiquette or personal relationships) they have little choice but be expounded to one-sidedly by the crazy-sounding older gent who’s clearly a few bricks shy of a handful. ---
