My most recent ex, when we were together, asked me if I thought we should have kids. No, I said, but we should keep trying.
I’ve noticed this. They seem to spend more time thinking about gay sex than I do, which is impressive.
For the sake of America’s gay population, I really hope not… :eek:
(Don’t buttsex and drive, kids! Stay safe!)
Serious question: who else is being nominated? curious
have you considered it may be the other way 'round?
You’re not doing your gay duty, then. Don’t you know all queers have nothing on their minds ever but gay sex and how to obtain it? 
I often think that many of the anti-gay folk are repressing so hard that it’s going to come sproinging out their seams one day very strangely.
Hahahaha!
Funny thing is, none of these people seem to grasp the concept that buttsex is something that some straight folks enjoy as well.
Also, I couldn’t help but notice that Bush’s nominee greatly resembles a friend of mine who’s gay. Not that I’m saying anything, I’m just sayin’, ya know?
Hey c’mon guys he has a very, um sophisticated beard at least.
Hey come on who’snot obsessed with…
OK move along people… Nothing to see here.
Has, or needs?
When the president nominates an official he only puts forward one name; he does not name another unless the Senate refuses to confirm his first pick.
How does it work in Canada?
Betweenhaving taught at an evangelical college, and having married into a Bible Belt family, I’ve gotten a fair amount of exposure to Christianist attitudes towards gays - and a large part of their problem with gay males, at least, seems to be “ewww, think about what they do together.”
Which leaves me saying, “Why would I do that?? I don’t spend time imagining what sort of sex straight couples I know engage in, and I’d certainly find that more interesting.” My wife’s aunt recently asked her gay second cousin what he and his SO did together, sexually. I can’t imagine asking my straight friends what they did, at least without laughing a lot. “Hey, what do you guys do in bed? You’ve got a nice pair, does your husband like some of the ol’ titfuck? How about teh oral - do you spit or swallow?” Nah, don’t think that conversation’s gonna happen.
The anti-gay contingent’s obsession with the details of sex between gay men is really quite something.
Me, I’m more in the mood for a falafel wrap.
More, from The Nation.
The PM appoints somebody and the Governor General rubber-stamps it (technically the GG does the appointing on the advice of the PM, but in practice this is purely ceremonial).
If nothing else, it saves a whole lotta time. Cabinet members are subject to thorough examination of their work by the House of Parliament, which means they get hassled for what they do once in office, not what they might have once said years before getting into office.
I like our version better.
Of course, because your version allowed the exportation of Celine Dion, and didn’t acknowledge that she is, in fact, toxic waste, and thus a hazard which should have been buried properly.
Mmm, hummous.
Enjoy,
Steven
We only exported her because you bought her.
(though I’m actually a bit bemused by how Celine Dion references seem to invariably pop up in discussions of Canada/U.S. trade - I’m not a fan of hers, but I don’t see her as any worse than any number of American entertainers)
No. You’re forgetting the very busy gay recruiting season. The summer camps are just shaping up now. 
I dunno, I read an article in which former colleagues were surprised about his personal views in light of some of his more practical actions, like actively and loudly resisting lawmaker complaints about a session on lesbian health at a convention or whatever he was running. He wanted, according to this quote, make sure that the attendees knew how to approach the health of ANYONE who walked in the door.
If true, I think I could actually handle someone who keeps his personal and professional opinions separate (though admittedly, governments throughout time have hired folks less than capable of doing so). Besides, what’s this guy going to DO as surgeon general? Make anti-gay declarations, fund gay cure research, rail against them in the media? Yeah, good luck getting away with any of that. No one even pays attention to his office’s warnings on cigarette labels. I’d never even HEARD of his predecessor, or any Surgeon General besides C. Everett Koop.
Now, if this is about principle, or just demonstrating what the President seems to look for in subordinates, sure, I can go with that. But even if this guy gets hired, it’s not the end of the world. Heck, it’d be some nice ammo for the future against the entire party…
What a fucking depressing list from that other thread, including this submission.
One of them you missed was this gem; Senator Tom Coburn is quoted from an address to the Rogers (Oklahoma) County Republicans, as saying, “The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power. … That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda.” And that’s the guy George W. Bush picked to be the Co-Chair of the President’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (a post he currently holds).
I just want to pound the brains of every one of the fucking idiots who justified electing this goddamn moron by saying that at least he’d surround himself with competent people.
It just keeps getting worse.
That’s because we expect you guys to be better than that. After all, you’re the guys that gave us Rush. Getting Dion and Rush from you is like Salvadore Dali and Thomas Kinkade turning out to be the same person.
