“How and when did I learn to sound gay?” filmmaker David Thorpe asks in the new trailer for his documentary Do I Sound Gay?
It’s a question we have all asked each other at some point. (Who hasn’t hear the quip, “When she opens her mouth, a purse falls out!”)
Related: Filmmaker Hopes To Discover What Makes Us “Sound Gay” In New Documentary
In theaters and VOD July 10, the film examines the phenomenon of “gay voice” and the cultural baggage surrounding it. Through interviews with Tim Gunn, David Sedaris, Don Lemon, Dan Savage and George Takei, Thorpe tackles the topic of what it means to “sound gay” and, in fact, be gay.
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.
Check out the trailer below.

Love David Sedaris, but can’t say I’m interested in this.
DarkZephyr
@ingyaom: Why not?
I am very interested in this and I think that a lot of gay men should be. With all the fighting that we do here at Queerty over who has the bigger “struggle”, “fem” gay men or “masc” gay men, I think we should all see this.
I have been waiting for this for awhile now. First saw a trailer for it here at Queerty some time ago.

Looking forward to seeing this.

Something my dad said to me as a child in middle school bugs me to this day. I don’t remember the exact words but it sounded like, the way you say things sound sort of funny. I knew he didn’t mean I was hilarious because he referred to gay bars as funny bars. Even though I’m not officially out to him I think he knows because I am out to others. He recently asked me in a joking way once why I’m not married yet. I told him I think you know the answer to that. He laughed somewhat awkwardly.
DarkZephyr
@polarisfashion: Thankfully very soon that won’t be a reason not to be married any longer. 😀

What a poorly named “documentary”. Since the overwhelming number of gay people sound just like straight people, this should really be called an “autobiography” about why this one particular person sounds like a woman or a cartoon character.
SonOfKings
We can try to deny it, but a LOT of gay men do have the “gay voice” things going, to varying degrees. And this include gay men who insist that they are “perfectly” masculine and sound “regular.” Game know game and many gay dudes sound kind of, well, gay. The “gay face” is another phenomenon that is hard to miss. There’s something about a flash bulb that sets a gay man’s face alight.
Thomas Ecker
I particularly enjoyed the gay Boston accent
DarkZephyr
@Daniel-Reader: Whether you like it or not, there is a specific speech pattern that many men have that is called “sounding gay”. The film maker titled his film based on that, and some of the biggest culprits when it comes to using that term are self identifying “masc” gay men.
Saint Law
@SonOfKings: Oh lol.
It’s always funny to hear some gay mockingly imitate a “flaming queen” in a voice that sounds exactly like his own.
Giancarlo85
Oh@Daniel-Reader: Oh here we go. So if a gay man sounds gay (for lack of better terms), he sounds like a woman or cartoon character? I think you need to get over it. You hope most gay men sound like straight men, but you know that isn’t true. Try to come up with some original content please and not more hatred.

It’s hard to take high voices seriously, “gayvioce” variety, or flutey female (wingnut bat-summoner Victoria Jackson) — they lack authority. Whether that’s a cultural or an inbuilt biological bias — high voice signifying childhood, weakness, intellectual immaturity? — It’s a very real societal bias you have to work around and to compensate for. It’s an impediment — it’s a lie to say it is not. Probably that ain’t gonna change. Given that, fuck knows why you’d want to exaggerate and amplify it’s effects.
Of course “Gay voice” isn’t necessarily gay (Mike Tyson). And even when it IS gay not necessarily coterminous with “fem” (e.g. Ronnie Kray, THE quintessential British gangster, and a particularly violent and widely feared one at that. He talked like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Qc_8DoUCs
Tom Hardy is about to gay-up to play him… I’ll bet my kneecaps they lower his voice tho. Because authority!
The bizarre one is: gayvoice + deep voice (i.e. Harvey Fierstein)! What’s going on there?!?
Giancarlo85
@PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID: You know what’s hard to take seriously? Macho men with deep voices caliming they have authority over others. Yes, a societal bias. A constructed bias that needs to be thrown out. And an impediment no longer.

No “one would guess I’m gay by my voice but that doesn’t mean im embarrassed about my friends who voice are higher or “sound gay” I think people in this community have got so caught in trying to appeal “masc” that it has alienated some of our more androgynous Members. Just because you sound more “masc” doesn’t make you better than our people who have stereotypical “Gay” sounding voices. How and why the voices sound the way they do, I don’t know but its shouldn’t matter.
McShane
When I was little, I was obsessed with Star Trek. I wanted Kirk to “rescue” me so bad. I was watching an episode where Kirk and Spock are fighting and then Sulu pulls out a knife and starts talking mad sh!t about how Spock wanted him to kill Kirk. I turned to my Grandpa and asked “why does Sulu sound like that?” Grandpa said “sound like what?” I thought about it for a few seconds and said, “why does he sound so awesome, like he’s from some fancy European country, like Italy” I still remember my Grandpa laughing hysterically, then he said, “because he is from Italy, that’s just an Italian accent.”
I was 8 or 9, obviously I knew Takei was Asian but for a few years after that I told all my friends that Zulu sounded like that because he had a thick Italian Accent.

@Curty:
I’m actually curious about how and why gay equals certain affectations of speech. Not enough to go out of my way to a theater to watch but something to watch on a flight, you know? Like lisping…how did that come to be associated with gay men. Nobody stereotypes lesbians as lispers. Voice pitch I can overlook as a gay thing, but for lack of a better analogy, what about that sort of vocal snarl or sounding like talking through gritted teeth, e.g. Tim Gunn?
AtticusBennett
some guys think they don’t sound gay because they don’t sound like one TYPE of gay. they’re wrong.
there is more to being gay than a simple attraction to the same sex. and those who disagree are always anonymous and drastically insecure about their gay identity.
to those who think they don’t sound gay – show us. so we can all hear. it’s as easy as youtube.
AtticusBennett
remember that unintentionally hilarious “my homosexual mormon husband isn’t gay!” program?
a group of not-gay homosexual mormons. who don’t want to be gay. who don’t like gay people. who don’t congregate with openly-gay guys in places of gay congregational socializing. who want nothing more to be straight men.
and yet…..every single one embodied every stereo/prototypical gay “ism” one could imagine.
how? why? simple: there’s more to being gay than being attracted to members of the same sex and/or gender. a lot more.
i’ve never met a gay man who didn’t sound gay – and that doesn’t mean they they all had the same pitch of voice. the less comfortable with being gay a man is the more he will, even subconsciously, adopt vocal affectation. the more relaxed and comfortable with being gay a man is, to the point that he’s no longer even remotely concerned with or CONSCIOUS of “gay voice”, the more he’ll relax and drop affectations.
again, though – if you don’t think you sound gay, don’t tell us. let us hear you.
Curty
About Tim gunns voice I’ve heard some straight men sorta sound like him. A golfer named patrick reed sorta sounds the same, rickie fowler does too, that description you were talking about. Now if we didn’t know who Tim Gunn was would we assume he was gay or just someone who sounds nasally and speaks with good diction? But AtticusBennett has a point, the more put the person is the more they may adapt to a “gay” vlice. Some of my very out friends seem to a good example of that and not someone like myself who is out to friends and family and won’t deny being gay but certainly enjoys blending in if I have to, to a “straight” scene.
robinmonk
This has fascinated me for decades. I never made a conscious effort to sound gay or not gay. I just speak. I just am. I remember when my younger brother came out, he soon thereafter started to lisp. I told him “Just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you have to lisp.” He stopped. Was I wrong? It’s odd….and very interesting.
AtticusBennett
@robinmonk: you were wrong. your brother came out, and finally started to not pretend to not be gay, and you criticized him for it. you effectively did the total wrong thing – you told him that coming out means not having to change who you are, which is utter bullshit. he was no longer lying, and pretending to be someone and something he’s not, and ridiculously didn’t realize it – he wasn’t “trying to be gay” he was trying to no longer be straight. shame on you.
martinbakman
I have no problem with the title. If it’s provocative then perhaps that is part of successfully naming a project like this.
On a side note, there is a TEDx talk called Why am I so gay? | Thomas Lloyd | TEDxGeorgetown .

valid subject as..boys have been mocked since i was in gradeschool 40 yrs ago. maybe..i hope the purpose is to show all the variations of voice and how we need to take the hate out of it. when it is authentic..i love it from my friends. its brave and who they are. i hope the journey of this doc is not to promote “exgaying” a voice but to remember the pain and..support each individual going forward.

Personally, I feel particular love and pride toward gay men who have the “gay voice” or who are otherwise “obviously” gay. It still takes courage to be out front in this society and open oneself to ridicule and potential attacks from bigots. These gay men are pushing to envelope for all of us.
I’m one of those straight acting/ straight sounding gay men. I can’t act or sound any way other than I do. I tried to “act gay” and “sound gay.” I felt phony. I wish I could act gay. That would save me the trouble of people assuming I’m straight and having to explain myself. But that’s not a real complaint.
SonOfKings
@AtticusBennett: Io’ve been savaged and brutalized online for years, by gay men, for arguing that we are different from straight men in ways that go beyond simple gender attraction. Most gay men I’ve observed have a collection of distinctive traits and mannerisms that give them away. The beards, muscles, and butch clothes mask nothing. Even when gay men get angry or mean, there is a certain bitchiness that comes across. It’s more irritating than menacing. I just don’t think that equality needs to be predicated on sameness. Their ways are not our ways. And I thank God for that.
James Hart
@NoelG: Really??? You should here yourself in several different settings before you declare your voice “straight.” You may be just fooling yourself.
James Hart
@SonOfKings: I agree with you. Here in NYC there is a lottery commercial that shows this hyper masculine man walking down the street, and when he’s told of how much a person can win this week in the lottery, he becomes this hyper Nellie ridiculous character running down the street. Beards, muscles, and flannel shirts DO NOT MAKE YOU MASCULINE!
Giancarlo85
@SonOfKings: Some won’t ever accept that though. I know I’m different. I know I act differently and I can get bitchy… and that is because I am gay. That has to do with my own identity and not a way I’m forcing myself to be. Some gay men try to be uber-masculine and criticize other men for putting on a front… but the truth is those uber-masculine types are usually the ones adopting a fake facade.
AtticusBennett
@Saint Law: here’s the deal – I, and nobody else, has said “there’s only one way to be gay”
and the inferiority complex is in you. it’s as if with every post you’re determined to, anonymously like a true wimp, let everyone know what a disappointment you were to your father. we get it. he hated having a gay son, and you never got over it.
so, again – those of you who INSIST that you don’t sound in any way gay, that you’re in any way identifiable – show us, please. put yourself on youtube. after all, if you’re so “nobody can tell!’ and you want people to know about “that kind of gay’ then it would be uber helpful to all , eh? 😉
AtticusBennett
helpful hint – when an insecure homosexual starts screaming “stop saying there’s only one way to be gay! stop saying i’m faking it because i don’t sound like you queens”, especially when nobody has said any of things, what he’s really saying is is “stop reminding me that i’m living a lie because i’m not man enough to stand up to the antigay people in my life! they only tolerate me as long as i’m nothing like you!”

Why does Atticus Bennett always want gay men to be exactly like him or fit into his little box of how gay men are supposed to be, feel and act? Does he have a super gay voice? Is he literally limp-wristed? 😀
He always leaves his links, videos etc. all of which I ignore (because he just doesn’t look that interesting to me and always tries way too hard to sound intelligent) but this boy is too fucking self-righteous to function. Yeah, his inferiority complex is showing. AGAIN!
Giancarlo85
@Blazipitous: I don’t recall where he said he wanted gay men to act a certain way, and neither did I. Seems to me the so called masculine types are demanding all gay men act like them and feminine and flamboyant gay men stop being the way they are. The so called masculine type thinks these out and proud gay men are misrepresenting them lol.
AtticusBennett
@Blazipitous: do you think that using a different name means people won’t know you’re the same old troll? show me where i’ve said all gay men have to be the same. spoiler alert: i’ve never said it.
how about you show us all how YOU sound?
oh right. you can’t. we get it – you’re an insecure homosexual. kudos!
level75RDM
@Giancarlo85: Well that’s exactly what it is. Gay men who say “Everybody was surprised when I said I was gay” as if it were some badge of honor, like the smug person who proudly declares he doesn’t watch TV.
I’ve since come to realize that gay men have a very narrow definition of straightness as well as gayness. I have straight friends who routinely participate in costume play, openly love musicals, and are more comfortable talking to their gay friends about sexuality and relationship issues than gay guys who don’t want to be associated with people who are stereotypically gay. And that’s simply because they don’t have those hang ups about what it means to “man up.” In an ideal world, that’s what it should be- being able to be who you are without shame and without having to bring somebody else down a notch in the process.
But to such gay guys, masculinity, and being able to come across as straight mean very few things- cheap beer, sports, being “one of the guys,” and not having the dreaded lisp. Take for example, gaming is typically seen as a straight guy thing, but you will never hear anybody say, “Nobody could tell I was gay because I’m fat and have been known to binge game for 7 hours at a time,” which is funny because I know gay people like that. When people say people thought they were straight, what they really mean is the gay porn fetish of what straight guys look like. To them, it’s all about not liking interior decorating, or geeking out over pop stars, or using what is considered gay slang.
notevenwrong
@Giancarlo85: “I know I act differently and I can get bitchy… and that is because I am gay.”
Getting bitchy is not because you are gay. Bitchiness is a horrible trait in women, and it is a horrible trait in men. I know many gay men who may be effeminate but who are always kind and generous. Don’t confuse being gay with being a Mean Girl.
Blazipitous
I don’t have to do anything, and it’s got nothing to do with insecurities as you’ve said. I’m bi, not gay (You probably think we don’t exist). Oh yeah, I sound awesome. Probably because I’m a polyglot and I change the way I speak with each language. I’m 21, by the way. Just putting it out there 😉
AtticusBennett
@Blazipitous: i know many bisexuals. i speak four languages. nobody has told you there’s only one way to be gay. you’re saying that because you’re still desperately trying to convince daddy that you’re Not Like Those Other Gays. your comments reek of insecurity and cowardice. best of luck in life, you’ll need it.
Blazipitous
Daddy doesn’t care what I get up to so long I don’t land up in trouble. My father isn’t homophobic and doesn’t have any expectations from me, I’ll be graduating soon and that’s his only expectation. He even says he wants me to get an education and do whatever I want with my life. I think he might have figured it out in my late teens because I didn’t really date as I was focused on getting out with the best results, which I did, and realises he can’t change me, so why would he bother? Yeah, I’m not “officially out” to anyone, because that, to me, says ‘I need your permission.’ Not every man who doesn’t identify as straight has daddy issues. Sure, most do. I’m just not one of ’em. I’m still daddy’s boy at this age 😉
You call it cowardice, and I call it firmly maintaining my stance. I don’t need luck. I’ve got a great head on my shoulders, and I know how to use it as my deadliest weapon!
AtticusBennett
@Blazipitous: Of course you’re not Out. that’s why you’re making cowardly claims.
HA! “i’m not Out because that to me says ‘i need your permission'” – just cop to it, you’re not Out because you’re still a wimp who doesn’t want to be gay. Stop wasting time lying on the internet, anonymously, about what a strong guy you are and invest in a pair of balls.
when you’re not Out it’s very simple – you still live in fear of what people think.
Blazipitous
Wait, you actually want me to post “Hey, everybody. I’m bisexual” on my Facebook? Hahahaha!!!
Why would I lie to you? What difference would that make in my life? Come on, man. You’re not important to me, you know. Unlike you, I don’t need permission from people I don’t know nor care about to lead the life I want to. I can marry a girl if I want to, and there’s nothing opinionated fags like you can do to change that. You can call me “cowardly” and whatever you want, but your opinion isn’t just important that to me. You sound like someone who really loves the sound of his own voice, fortunately for me, I don’t give a shite what you think. My life, my rules. Eat me!
AtticusBennett
@Blazipitous: I don’t care if you marry a girl. No gay men will care if you marry a girl. Something tells me, however, that you won’t be able to land anyone – male or female.
Your attempts at “arguments” were stupid beyond words, your excuses utterly cowardly, and guys like you end up alone forever, anonymously venting on reddit about how much “stereotypical fags” make it hard for you to live.
You’re not Out. you have no idea what you’re talking about. your rantings are so typical of boys whose strength exists only via anonymously typed words on a computer screen.
I don’t need permission from anyone. That’s why I’m Out. Because when you’re Out, you don’t need anyone’s permission to live an open and honest life. So far, you’re still in hiding because you’re terrified of what people will think, and calling people “opinionated fags” won’t make your life better, nor make your father any less ashamed of you.
Blazipitous
Why do you have to capitalise “out”? What’s reddit? As for not landing anyone, male or female, I do actually have a girlfriend. Nothing too serious as I don’t really love her in that way, but a girlfriend nonetheless, and I bet you’re still single trying to save the world via the Internet site at a time. I didn’t know we were “arguing” here, because I just don’t take you or anything you have to say that seriously.
Also, your obsession with people’s fathers has gotten ancient. Find something else. Yes, you’re an opinionated fag and I’m too busy trying to get on top to have “a life” (whatever that means to you).
We’ve been at this for quite some time going nowhere in circles, and it’s dinner time at my place, so see ya!
AtticusBennett
what a great man! dating a girl you don’t really care about while you complain about fags online! yeah. way to make daddy proud!

@notevenwrong: Right? Giancarlo is such a smart guy, politically at least, and then he comes up with an astonishingly offensive comment like that. Let’s try some analogies:
“I’m promiscuous, because I’m gay.”
“I do a lot of drugs, because I’m gay.”
“I’m lazy and I steal stuff, because I’m Latino.”
I hope Giancarlo would consider those offensive. Apparently he thinks being “bitchy” is a good thing? (Does it even occur to him that being bitchy is a bad thing?) And just the other day he was (correctly) calling out “jason smeds” for always engaging in stereotypes!
But I generally agree with him here about the “gay” vs. “masc” voices. I’m sure that most of the “masc” guys who are so sure they DON’T sound gay, in reality sound pretty gay.
Avery Alvarez
@Blazipitous: Don’t you think there is a bit of irony in you calling others, “opinionated fag”?
I mean, a casual observer could say you’re an “opinionated fag”, or, “opinionated bi-fag”, or, if you like, “opinionated half fag”?

You’re so full of shit on so many levels. Why don’t you go back and read what I post more carefully? I never said I was speaking for other people but I was speaking for myself. And it more has to do with my strong personality.
@onthemark: You’re parroting your other account and you’re not doing very well at it. You’re an idiot.
Latinos are known to be the hardest workers in the world, and Mexicans in particular have the highest worker productivity rates in the world.
I don’t see what was offensive about it. I was speaking for myself, asshole. You don’t seem to have much of a mental thought process going on. Maybe because you’re a stupid lazy fuck who got beaten by his parents.
Giancarlo85
And at one point being feminine was considered to be a bad trait in men and something that should be avoided. Alwayswrong and offthemark (same person, two accounts)… time to get back to reality please.
And don’t even try to say you agree with me some of the times politically. What a load of pretentious bullshit. You are a right winger.
Again show me, you ignorant illiterate… where I was speaking for others? I was speaking about MYSELF. If you are so offended, not my problem. Maybe go take the stick out of your ass.

@Giancarlo85: Calm down, bitchy little amigo.
At first you said you’re bitchy “because” you’re gay. Quote: “because I’m gay.” It’s right there in print, dude. WTF, we can see it RIGHT THERE. And it was an offensive, self-hating homophobic thing to say.
Now you backtrack (as so often happens) and change your story to declare you’re only speaking about yourself – i.e., you’re bitchy because you happen to be a mean hateful individual. Well, you know what… that’s fine with me! I like Story B better.
Like it or, I DO agree with you politically 95% of the time. I find the irony amusing, but when you’re right, you’re right, and you’re usually right politically. Fortunately, that has nothing to do with your Napoleonic delusions of grandeur about yourself.
Like it or not, there are a couple of dozen different people here who think you’re either (a) horrible or (b) very amusing. You may as well get used to that, since obviously you love the attention.
And my plan to make you die of a stroke before you’re 35 is right on track! BWA-HA-HA…
Giancarlo85
@onthemark: Yes, because I AM gay. This has NOTHING to do with your pompous ass. You just show your inability to read. I was talking about MYSELF. If you have a problem with what I wrote, that isn’t my problem. It wasn’t offensive or even self hating. I was recognizing my true self. And I don’t even see how it is homophobic, you stupid piece of trash. Can you not fucking read? You are so braindead.
I never did backtrack (you backtrack all the damn time beacuse you suffer from fucking dementia). I’m bitchy because I AM gay. This statement HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PATHETIC ASS. This is a statement THAT CONCERNS ME.
You don’t agree with me at all. You agree with me 0% of the time because I don’t agree with a right wing douchebag like you. Go back to sucking republican dick as you do so often. You are the ones suffering delusions of grandeur. You don’t dictate how I think.
And no, there aren’t a couple of “dozen different people”. Again something you made up off the top of your imagination. Just a figment of your demented imagination and delusions as a right wing douchebag American.

And easy for you to even try to accuse me of being homphobic. When you’re a transphobic, hateful little piece of shit who can’t tolerate other opinions.

The only mean hateful individual here is you. This explains why you’re always on my case (because you suffer from various mental problems). You show up conveniently and when I do talk politics you’re fucking nowhere to be found. It’s just all the same shit with you. You are a self absorbed narcissistic douchebag who has no clue about the world around you. I wouldn’t care if you got hit by a bus to be honest.

@Giancarlo85: Looks like that stroke will happen sooner than I had predicted!
Yes, unfortunately, no doubt there are a couple of dozen different regular posters here, and several thousand regular readers, who are really starting to think you’re insane. (And omg, your poor boyfriend, be he imaginary or especially IF he’s actually real.)
I’m certainly NOT a libertarian (barf!), and I’m sure I’ve never written anything “transphobic” (!?!), here or anywhere else, so I’ll try to make an effort to chime in more on the political articles where I totally agree with you and where you do a pretty good job of blasting the idiots like BJ, who I’ve tangled with MANY TIMES. And I’m sure I did that much more before you arrived here (easily checkable fact, btw).
The reasons I tend not to comment here anymore as much as YOU do, are (1) who could possibly post here as much as you do?, (2) seriously, you DO such a good job at the political stuff, (3) I comment more often on the New York Times or Boston Globe sites than on Queerty, (4) as I’ve told you before, it’s just so much FUN to mess with you, and (5) even though I’m semi-retired, I really don’t have 16 hours a day to spend typing away on this site like you do when you supposedly have a job.
Giancarlo85
@onthemark: And the wingbag responds as predicted.
With his various mental problems and onset of dementia already setting in (sad isn’t it?). No, not a couple of dozen different regular posters. You are making things up again. That has to do with the fact you think many people follow you. Very few people actually respond to your garbage. I feel a bit of pity for you because you suffer from all sorts of delusions. Being you must be some kind of nightmare.
You are a homphobic and transphobic shitbag. That’s already been established. I wouldn’t care if you get hit by a bus or mauled by a pack of wild dogs. What you post is of little relevance to reality. I don’t care who you talked with. You to me are a right wing enemy and you are to be opposed at all costs.
How do I post on here 16 hours a day when I’m working most of the day? You really a shitbag. Thanks for proving it once again. You are a complete asshole and a liar. And it seems to me you always respond to what I say.

A couple of dozen people? Again what people? Stop acting as if you have a following. You’re delusional. There aren’t a “couple of dozen people”. That’s something you made up. You’re a homophobic bigoted asshole who is well past his prime and is now suffering from constant memory problems (again, perhaps the early onset of dementia).
And I never said you don’t post here enough. All I said is you don’t reply to other posts I make in political articles. You post enough trash on here for most of the day.

@onthemark: “you spend endless hours of your time responding to what you believe is ONE person?”
By the way, dipshit… how can I spend endless hours responding to someone on here when I’m not even on here most of the day? I’m often in areas where even my cell phone doesn’t get anything more than 2G/Roaming service because of the nature of my work. I don’t have access to the internet for good portions of my day and I am not allowed to use the internet on my phone when I’m in areas with service. I can only use it to make work related calls.
I’m sure you’ll post another reply… as predicted!

@Giancarlo85: I actually do believe you have a job. Perhaps not for long, since you’re so proud of being “bitchy”!
How I personally started hating you:
(1) Your monogamy b.s. about how you’re “better than” everybody else, and then you backtracked and said you meant it was better for YOU personally – which of course would be fine with me and literally everyone – but then when it was pointed out that you backtracked, you backtracked again to the first obnoxious statement.
(2) Your support of the rac!st, fasc!st “war on drugs” – which by itself calls your supposedly “leftist” bona fides into question.
That’s about all it was (oh, and where did “transphobic” come from?), so I’ll try to keep that in mind and not overreact to your self-described bitchy personality.
It’s just very strange that a 30 year old guy spends several hours a week of your free time responding to what you think is ONE person and you’re not even trying to convince “him,” you’re just fulminating and spouting rage. If you really feel some compulsion to do such a strange thing, wouldn’t it make more sense and be more effective to go to a right-wing site to do that?
If Hillary loses next year, it’ll be because of millennials like you who think “activism” consists of typing a lot, on sites where 95% of the readers agree with you anyway (except in your case maybe you piss them off). If I really were a right-winger I wouldn’t bother telling you this, I’d let you go on wasting your time.
And I’m sure you’ll post TWO more replies, as you always do!

@onthemark: You always must get the last word. It has to do with your mental condition and delusions of grandeur.
Reasons why you hate me? Does it look like I care what your fat sorry ass thinks? You are nothing to me. You are a bitter old man with the early onsets of dementia setting in. You crave the long gone past.
Your comment about what I said about monogamy shows how you are incapable of reading and continues to shows your idiocy.
And what support of the war on drugs? I never really addressed the topic. Again you are an idiot who cannot read. What I said at most is for the total eradication of the FARC and ELN in my country and what financially supports those groups.
I don’t need or want to convince a mentally brain dead fool like you. You are completely incapable in listening to the facts. People like you fucked up, do little to nothing to help anything and do nothing in the process. It is because of people like you democrats lose. You are one of the most pathetic imbeciles I have met on here up there with BJ mcfrisky and that lauraspencer troll.
Know-it-alls like you usually have no real answers.
