A dispute between two males over their sexuality ended with one chasing after the other with a two-foot sword earlier this week. And, no, the males weren’t in middle school. They were grown adults.
It all started when a 48-year-old man who goes by the name of “Cowboy” accused a 44-year-old man of having “homosexual tendencies,” whatever that means.
The men were hanging out in an apartment watching the Cleveland Cavaliers game and playing dominoes.
The 44-year-old responded by saying he had heard from several reliable neighborhood sources that Cowboy was the one with “homosexual tendencies.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Things, naturally, escalated.
Voices were raised. Punches were thrown. The two men wrestled their way into the kitchen, before a third man finally broke up the fight and told them to “take it outside.”
The fired up 44-year-old went outside and waited. When Cowboy finally emerged from the building, he was wielding a two-foot sword, which he began wildly swinging in the air. He struck the man once in the head and twice in the left arm before the injured man said he was calling the cops, upon which Cowboy dropped the sword and ran away.
When officers arrived at the scene, they were unable to locate Cowboy.
According to the Plain Dealer, court records show Cowboy spent 14 years in the slammer after a 1986 conviction on rape, kidnapping and robbery charges.
No charges have been filed in the attack.

Oh, Queery, WHY did you post this? WHY did I read this? These sorts of shenanigans go on daily, by all sorts of none-too-bright riff raft. Usually alcohol’s involved. I can only hope I won’t go against my better judgement and click on something like this again. I don’t mind Queerty stooping low. I don’t log on to be intellectually stimulated or get an authentic hard-hitting news report. This though, is really going WAY below your standards.

Oops, that would be “Queerty”. “Queery” is kind of a funny pun for a gay news blog’s tagline, though!

Oh, good Lord. That would be “riff raff”. Blame spell check for that one.

Did the conversation go anything like this?: http://youtu.be/byEvXR4YTZ8?t=3m28s
tricky ricky
accusing someone of homosexual tendencies is prison parlance for come on over here baby I want to f**k you, I think you’re cute

Sounds like this Guy was the prison “bottom” at his last 14 year ‘home’. Bit touchy. Or maybe he’s just hung like Mickey Mouse and is sensitive about a lot of things.

@transiteer: I don’t know who you have been talking to, but take it from me…. That mouse was PACKING! Walt and the gang went through a ton of erasers to make Mickey “family friendly” if you know what I mean. And rumor has it that Goofy did not have that look on his face until after his first “date” with Mickey…..AW-Yep, yep, yep.

Apparently, the truth hurts! Otherwise, Cowboy wouldn’t have reacted like that.
