Hi.

I’m gay.

Give me my warning label.

(Via Paperwight, who got it from John Aravosis. See, these things are communicable.)

   Have you told your wife yet?

   Another Clarke family skeleton out of the closet.

   I think we should all wear them Chris.  Only I want mine with the pointed end up!

   Like “We are all Spartacus.”  Only, this time, we’re all “Spartacus the Fabulous.”

   She’s gay too.

   “*I* am fabulous!”

   I think I’ll wear mine pointed to the side, so it looks like an arrow.  Then I can write “I’m not with stupid” under it, and stand next to the homophobes.

   Although then I might get bigot cooties.  Perhaps I should rethink this.

   I don’t mean to whine, but I think it’s time you started kicking me some free Faultline t-shirts or hats for all the softballs I lob your way.  Especially if you’re going to hit them out of the park.

   Link-worthy comments should be extra.

    

   And ask your wife a question for me, because it’s central to my longtime relationship. 

    

   Why do the best women always marry down?

   Chris’s post is funny, yes.  But if that’s what that sick son of a bitch Banuchi really meant, it’s not funny at all.  It’s scary.

   I’m a conservative straight man, but so help me God, I’ll wear a pink triangle right next to my yellow star before I’ll yield an inch to psychopaths like that.  Even in jesting.

    

   Sorry to be a rain cloud, but that guy really angered me.

    two of them together could form a pink six-sided star for that special subset of victims.

    There’s my personal favorite, ‘gay by birth, fabulous by choice’

    Carpundit, I agree.  I laugh, because I would otherwise froth or weep. 

    And if I thought that nutbar could actually get his ideas put into law, I’d be doing more than that.

    What’s a conservative straight man? Is that someone who sets up the joke for a liberal to deliver the punch line?

    I’m pretty sure the conservative straight man is the punch line.

    Oh yeah:  I am goy.  (Did I do that right?)

    Craig, That was funny.

    Bone, What’s that about?
