I knew that bitch would end up working at Fox News. She had "dull, dimwitted, rightwing Fox blonde" written all over her.
Nothing sadder than an old queen who behaves as a twink…
is ZAKAKAKA talking about Obama's shirtless magazine cover? I agree.
The article from Philly Gay News is very sobering. I hope Queerty readers take the time to read it.
@John Santos
I actually did read that article and I had to fight back a few tears.
I mean, not all of us are going to find that special someone and get married and "live happily ever after." And even those of us that do don't know when that person might be taken away.
And the discrimination and bigotry doesn't change as you get older if you're LGBT. Hospitals can still refuse to takae care of you, nursing homes will treat you like shit. I know we have begun to take steps as a community to care for the older members of our community who paved the way for the steps that we are now walking. But we have so much more to do.
And I kinda feel as if we owe it to them, but again, maybe that's just me and my sentimental self.

No, it's not just you, Chitown Kev. If all gay men took even one day a week to do something for older LGBTQ's, we'd all be better for it. Too many of us are so wrapped up in the ridiculous minutiae that life throws at us, that we forget there are people who paved the way for us to be able to live relatively free today.
To me Obama looks like a shirtless 47 year old lawyer cum lying homophobic political douchebag. Seriously, anyone who thinks he is "attractive" would not look twice if he took his shirt off in any gay bar except in a gay retirement home. Sorry. Just more of the "special" props Obama has gotten a good part of his life. Too bad "teh gays" don't get any special props, other than on Bravo television.
GAWD!
Personally, I find the picture of any lying bastard who took my time and money and repeatedly slapped me in the face offensive, especially if the guy is a very average looking pen pusher pushing 50.
"Obama is a lying homophobic douchebag, but he is my lying homophobic douchebag."
Touching.
Obama's breasts could inspire a new single by Destiny's Child called "Saggilicious". Seriously, could they hang any lower?!?!
Oh that's right, Destiny's Child expired along with Obama's support of the LGBT Community. That was so 1998.
Obama is way HOT…i'm with the euros!
@Michael W.:
lol, i totally saw it coming form day one too! though i hate to compliment the dumbass, her hair is quite well done up for FOX news standards and she doesn't wear shoulderpads or pearls… yet. dundundun! she does look fittingly matriarchal-waspy, for some reason, lmao
