Womanist Musings: What Exactly are Gay Men Doing Sexually?

Is it safe to assume, well, we’re boring. I heard as story once, from Dan Savage himself on the Colbert Report, about when Mr. Savage was on Larry King. A caller had called in and asked Mr. Savage about his sex life and Dan went to answer that it was pretty boring-just like straight people’s—pretty much not unlike everyone else’s.

Larry cut him off before it was put on the air. “Once they know you’re like them, you’ve got nothing,” he stated.

I bring this up because he’s a further study. It shows we’re as vanilla as everyone else.

Womanist Musings: What Exactly are Gay Men Doing Sexually?

Okay, okay, living for years in the shadow of the Olympic Training Center, I admit—those men are HOT. I mean, 1 percent body fat, nipples facing down, 12 meals a day. What’s not like to like? And, in fact, since they’re being watched constantly, they have to be on good behavior, just like the military-just without the uniforms.
With that in mind, I stumbled across this little bit. But here’s the thing. As I watched the video, hoping for some shirtless awesomeness, I found out something--
--the training situations these men are in are very cool, totally unrelated to their hotness factor. It’s like mini rollercoasters.
I would never actually DO those sports-something about sliding on ice a few inches above the ground frightens the crap out of me-but there’s an educational component this video did not realize it was posting!
Enjoy.

NFL adds ‘sexual orientation’ to anti-discrimination language in new CBA - Wide Rights

 

NFL adds ‘sexual orientation’ to anti-discrimination language in new CBA - Wide Rights

I’m thinking this works better if I put the link FIRST, before my opinion. Mighten that work?

Still, considering that there are, like, zero NFL players out, I like the sound that this is out there. Maybe, just maybe, things are changing. When sports and military are integrated, the healing might begin for gays and lesbians.

There’s always hope.

Peace.

Freedom of Speech

Believe it or not, even if I don’t agree with this kid’s opinion, he has the right to say it. I mentioned it in my previous post here and I’ll say it again. You don’t have to like me because I’m gay-that’s not what equal rights are about.

There are dems and there are GOPers. They hate each other for the stupidiest of reasons, when, in the end, they are working for pretty much same purposes.

I say, let the kid stay in school. Perhaps the teacher should have made a conversation about this topic right then and there. However, given standardized testing—I know the teacher has zero time to teach what’s important but instead has to teach to what will cut their pay.

Guess Its Okay to be Two Faced....

This UPSETS me so much. Seriously. I mean, really, seriously. I am fully aware that the world will not accept me with open arms. I cannot expect anyone to run up to me, kiss me on the cheek and say, “thank GOD you’re gay.”

I’m no hero. But I can, to some level, expect some civility. Hate me all you want, but keep it to your bloody selves.

I am so proud of our military and what they have done. Strangely, for being dyed-in-the-wool blue stater, I do and always have, supported the military. It is difficult, in my opinion, to protect those who do not wish to be protected. It is a harrowing job and must be protected and revered and respected-if not outright honored.

I’ll tell you what happened. A young man, stationed in Iraq, is now free to be honest with the final repeal of Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell. With his new found freedom, and obviously a support of a GOP president, he asked if any of the would-be candidates would put back DADT and basically get him fired.

Santorum, which, if you don’t know already, is the name of the mix of items that fall out of your rear after vigorous anal penetration (don’t believe me? Google it!), said, basically, yes. He would put it back in place.

When the young man spoke via video, the obviously red-state audience BOO’d the young man. BOO’D HIM. They saw his gayness and not his military contributions.

A different kind of BOO!

And Santorum not only handed out a mean-spirited and, IMHO, ignorant response, he said nothing of the audience’s response.

Even if this situation was in 3-D, it wouldn’t be any better

I can tell you why Mr. FrothyMix isn’t going to be elected. If he has to be requested to make an apology? That tells me volumes of how in-touch he is with an audience. Now, onstage, I get it. The blood is pumping, you’re nervous and sometimes? You didn’t say what you meant. I will always listen to post scripts, if they are plausible.

Just my rant for today. I would have posted more, but I’m back to work as it is.
