It is sad so many GLBT people have left this site. It gets very lonely, and little has changed, sadly.
Don't be a stranger...there are way too many of them as it is.

(11,330 posts)Let me introduce myself,
I don't like to think about other people's sex lives.
I don't want to know about other people's sex lives
I don't think our government should be involved in other people's sex lives unless their actions include pedophilia or sex trafficking or sex tourism or animal abuse
that being said, I have no problem with reasonable public displays of affection between adults or between adolescences of similar ages.
I want everyone to be treated with respect
I want everyone to be treated equally under the law
I want everyone to mind their own fucking business and stop butting their noses in other people's private lives
so of course I support LGBTQ
so of course I support POC
so of course I support immigrants
so of course I support women
so of course I support religious minorities in our country including atheist and muslims

(32,969 posts)I will be interested in seeing how many of the recently posted "that's homophobic/transphobic" posters express sympathy or regards.

(53,955 posts)See our rights, our very lives, are only good for political fodder. I know who my real allies are, and I know who the bullshitters are. Sadly, the latter outnumbers the former. So, we should all just wait by the stable for our sparkle ponies and wait to be summoned.

Oh wait, the punchline is "Putin is a fag!" that is the bait...gay-bashing.
Oh course, the predictable, but...but...the studies...was dragged out.

(10,571 posts)Rather than the poster taking many gay peoples word that something was offensive. We just need a language lesson apparently - never mind our life long experiences.

Saturday Night Live's Homophobic Trump-Putin Jokes Need to Stop
Lame jokes about the presidents being gay for each other are so common you may not have noticed a problem with Saturdays sketch. But that doesnt mean theyre OK. Far from it.

It is approaching two years since Donald Trump was sworn into office, which means its been two years of Russia collusion talk and parsing of his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Its been endless, and exhausting. That means we are also approaching two years of jokes about the two presidents fucking.
That, too, has been endless, and exhaustingand lazy, and ignorant, and offensive, and base-level, and baseless, and homophobic, and, well, not really a joke at all.
The most recent example happened during this weekends episode of Saturday Night Live, as part of a recurring bit that exists to test your eye-roll reflex: Alec Baldwins Trump and Beck Bennetts always-shirtless Putin making light of their close ties by winking at a homosexual relationship.
The brief bit was part of the episodes cold open, in which Trump is awake in the middle of the night, despondent about the Robert Mueller probe while at the G20 Summit in Argentina. Hes visited by a revolving door of his shady cronies, including, at one point, Putin.
Honey, why you still up? Bennetts Putin says, emerging from a hotel room door bare-chested with a randy, horny smirk. He seductively pats the small of Baldwins Trumps back. Come back to bed, babe!
