Disgusting man Rick Perry, former governor of Texas, just got cast on Dancing with the Stars. So is this just a very charitable definition of star?
Rick Perry — who, you’ll recall, really really really hates gays — just spent the last few years at a career crossroads. If things had gone his way, he’d have become president. Instead, he will be waltzing poorly for America to laugh at.
Apparently he’s planning to use the platform to raise money for veterans. We’ve heard this sort of promise from Republicans before, so the veterans might want to ask for Rick’s donations in cash rather than check.
Joining Rick will be his intellectual peer, Ryan Lochte. Also Vanilla Ice, Babyface, Marilu Henner, and a whole bunch of people who will make you say, “not sure who that is but I think I saw them listed as a featured guest that one time I watched a CSI with my mom.”
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.
In case you need a refresher on Rick, he’s the guy who said that being gay is like being an alcoholic, and that that both groups could just choose to stop their destructive behavior. He also supported ex-gay torture camps. Nice guy! Should be fun to watch him twirl around on a dance floor.
There are also long-standing rumors about him being gay — but who knows, rumors are easy to start, and this particular one was fueled by a Ron Paul supporter, so it doesn’t exactly come with a veneer of trustworthiness.

The reason why he’s on DWTS is because the glasses that supposedly made him looked smart might make him dance better. I think the real name of DWTS should be Dancing with the losers. Because lately most of the ones they get on show have been losers. Well, maybe one or two are not, but the majority is.

LMAO!!! I knew ABC lost its shame years ago, but they are just waving the white flag, conceding that they want the batshit demographic TLC lost when they canceled that Duggar show.

Ryan Lochte must have balls of steel to be seen on DWTS.
If I were him, after being exposed as a world class liar, I would want to hide from public view for a hell of a long time.

Rick Perry was correct about the destructive behavior in the male-male sexual scene. He is also absolutely correct about the power of choice. Correct choices can reduce the risk to your health and well- being.
Apart from that, he has a good body.

@Brian: Wow. There are no words.

@Xzamilio: There are but they’ll get flagged.

How was Rick Perry wrong about destructive behavior on the male-male scene? He said the truth. I’m not saying that all men opt into it but it’s the natural result of permissive behavior.
Don’t deny that permissiveness is a hallmark of men’s sexuality. When men sexualize with men, the permissiveness is amplified even further.

Brian, back to your bright pink blow up doll, she’s waiting for you to give her some oral. Don’t forget to spray on the redi-whip. So very permissive you little vinyl licker you.
Re: Rick Perry. Much to donkey old to be on DWTS.

Hope he makes a total fool of himself (again). He probably got by on his looks all these years (admit it, he is cute).

Rick Perry is a big, ole closet case.

@Brian:
You keep saying he was right. OK, so where is the link? What exactly did he say that has you all hard and touching yourself for him?

I do remember that spiel Rick gave about Gays and Alcoholics. He spoke in the FIRST PERSON throughout the entire rant. It sounded to me more like a coming out speech than a criticism of Gays or Alcoholics. I kept waiting for him to say “and I am a Gay Alcoholic.” Maybe they cut out that part of the interview?
And don’t forget that political ad he did in his Broke Back Mountain outfit. The way he was moving I thought he had just crawled out of the tent and skipped down the mountain.
I wonder about him.
