Dymension
What. Ever. Gonna cancel him?
amanwithanedge
how about calling them older gays rather than old gays?
MISTERJETT
or “honored seniors”.
Goforit
We are old farts. We know it. Don’t get all PC. We are not that fragile or sensitive.
Mike Hunt
OK boomer
Robothedestroyer
Well it looks like they called themselves “old gays” so I’m sure it’s not that big a deal. Sounds appropriately campy and charming anyway. However, dude sittin in the middle is fn ripped tho. Ugh lord I’m out of shape………..
jayceecook
@Mike Hunt do people who say “OK boomer” actually believe they are being insulting or is it meant ironically? Because it literally is the 2021 version of “your mamma” heard in the days gone by on primary school playgrounds.

Btw. Say goodbye to my subscription. Definitely better non-Examiner like news for LGBTTIQ2S+ !

We old gays have been through a lot of discrimination. No matter, I met my lifetime partner of 57 years, got together in 1962 when I was in the NAVY. We got married in 2004 in Massachusetts, and retired, living the American Dream!
Donald Dork
When did that “Gay to smoke” ad run? I’ve never seen it before.
Doug
Me either, and I was really shocked by it. I almost wonder if it isn’t real.
jayceecook
@Donald Dork and @Doug It is fake and part of a larger faux anti-smoking video made by The Onion back in 2010 I think. Maybe earlier. It’s actually really, really funny. Look it up on YouTube.
The fact that anybody would think it’s real just goes to show you how much facts do not matter anymore. People today are so stupid and gullible.
jayceecook
I have no idea who Bruno Baba is but I will happily “hug” him over and over and over….
The Grindr thing is just sad. Part of me wishes the dude made it up for views.
corktownboy
The “old gays” are a delight. Fun to watch and hear their history. Always want to see updates! I’m sure dinner with them would be a hoot.
overlarry
Let us not forget that it was the “old gays” who were brazenly bashed or killed, fought for our rights, and went through HELL so that we, today, can enjoy marriage equality, non (or at least LESS) discrimination, and don’t get sent to PRISON just for having sex!!

Don’t know who Bruno Baba is, but I could love on him all day! Yummy.
