COMMENTS: Another Tragic Teen Suicide, Chris Birch’s Gay Stroke, Rosie Goes Off, And More!

“I don’t believe he went from 100% straight to gay due to a stroke. It’s possible he reassessed his priorities in the wake of a profound injury or that ‘filters’ in his brain were altered or damaged, but to go from a 0 on the Kinsey Scale to a 6? No. And if his family wasn’t accepting of gays he may feel the ‘a stroke made me gay!’ story gives him an excuse, protection from their judgment. What’s most interesting to me isn’t that he ‘became gay’ but that he now embodies pretty much every gay stereotype there is.”

“We are not preparing children for the onslaught of vicious and negative reactions from the world around them. Yes, one gets stronger as one ages, but as a young person, the social shunning and abuse must be unimaginable.

Now, we are seeing the abuse coming from politicians and people in the media. All of this takes a toll on the psyche, even for adults.”

“Guys like this are attention-seeking scumbags. They have no concept of what love is which is ironic since love is the most-oft taught thing in the Bible. It really infuriates me more that he chose to talk to Rosie like that in front of her kid.

Years ago, my then-partner and I brought our 10-year-old son with us to the Millennium March on Washington. We also attended the Equality Rocks concert the night before. As we walked into the stadium for the concert, there were a bunch of these douchebags protesting and yelling hateful shit. My son was SO UPSET by this. He never forgot it—and in fact, he has brought it up in some of his school papers and speeches since then. So, he was able to use that experience for good eventually. However, at the time, I wanted to kill those people for getting him so upset. They talk all this trash about “saving the kids” and they are the worst offenders. Fuckers.”

“I only come for RuPaul’s Drag Race—I find the other content sucks in the extreme. It’s not because it’s not heterosexualized like other mainstream channels, it’s that it simply sucks donkey balls. Put on some good programming that is niche-centric and you will draw people. Try to be like all the rest of the networks and you will suck just as much as the rest of the networks.”

“‘The occupation of Palestine is one of the most contentious issues in queer organizing today’

No it’s not.

There are people who *wish* it were, or try and force this irrelevant-to-LGBT-rights topic into the center of discussions about LGBT issues, but that doesn’t make it relevant to “queer organizing.”

Queer organizing is about queer issues. Not abortion, economics, government spending, welfare, foreign policy, Israel/Palestine, or any other laundry list of grievances that agenda-laden busybodies want to drag into the mix.

If an issue is not directly and uniquely impacting LGBT people, it is NOT an LGBT issue. (And please don’t try to serve up that heaping, steaming bowl of bullshit that “everyone needs a home/food/national defense/health care, including LGBT people, so it’s an LGBT issue.”)

If you want to take sides on the Israel/Palestine debate, there is an appropriate forum to do so — an Israel/Palestine forum. Stop crowding out OUR venues formed for OUR issues with your completely irrelevant issues.”
