So, we had us a gay in for the meal tonight....

[WCGreen]

Of course this was after we had set on down to break bread with the old folks we knew... If don't matter if they still remember us, just that we remember them... It was a fancy dancy kinda meal but the food was right good, and we had us a time....

I went home to take me a nap since I had trouble sleeping the night before...

When I woked up, it was time to get my breeches back on and head over to my little sisters house...

That's were the Gay fella came in...

I kinda figured he would a been there since he don't have any other family in these parts, so my little sis kinda adopted him for the major holidays...

WE talked about politics, of course and I asked my Gay Friend what's all this hoopla about a Gay Agenda... And he said as far as he could tell, it was about gettin' as many pottery barn as close to gay gatherin' places... HE says it fdon't have nothing at tall to do with recruitin' new gay folks since there don't seem to be a shortage where that part comes in... HE says the Republican Party had done a right good job of gettin' the gay folk all up in arms and also that there seemed to be a lotta interest in the gay life style amongst consrevatives...

We laughed and tallked a lot and before we knew it, it was time to drive him back to his house...

I can't wait till christmas comes a rollin around... He promised to tell us all about the Lesbian Agenda....

[SeattleGirl]

1. I recken you had yourself a fine ol' time, WC

I do hope you will share the Lesbian Agenda with us at Christmas time. I most surely would 'ppreciate learnin' all about it.

[WCGreen]

2. That information can be of great use....

If used for good....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Wow, sounds like a fun time!

I know you'd be comfortable with him......

The Democratic party has the big tent idea...and you embody it!

We had fun too, at my daughter's.......

:hi:

[xchrom]

4. gasp -- he was supposed to keep the business about pottery barn a secret!!!

somebody is in trouble.

[Mrs. Venation]

5. I Do Hope You Will Share the Lesbian Agenda With Us

Somehow, I never received my copy.

[auntAgonist]

13. ...

long time no see Mrs V! :hug:

aA

[Mrs. Venation]

14. Hiya, Sweetie

How are you? :hug:

[auntAgonist]

15. doing ok here thanks!

6. "So, we had us a black in for the meal tonight...."

"That's were the Black fella came in..."

"...and I asked my Black Friend..."

"HE says the Republican Party had done a right good job of gettin' the black folk all up in arms and also that there seemed to be a lotta interest in the black life style amongst consrevatives..."

----

Those sentences all sound really wrong, don't they? There's a reason they sound wrong. They are wrong. And it's just as wrong with the original word of "gay."

[LostinVA]

8. You beat me to it

Yup, not one iota of difference.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. I know. Sometimes I need to doublecheck that I'm on DU and not some Republican board.

[terrya]

10. Exactly right.

Could not agree with you more. This gay man who's getting sick and tired of seeing this stupid condescending crap towards gay people thanks you for making a good point.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. It makes us sound like we're supposed to do parlor tricks or something.

I don't take that crap.

[terrya]

12. Or sing some show tunes or something.

Since we're the only ones who get theater and all. We're SO darned entertaining.

[jonnyblitz]

16. I am always prepared to break out in song with my

"tribute to Judy" medley when I am the gay at the dinner! :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Last night I was the lesbian at dinner.

I entertained the kids by wrestling with them after dinner. I'm so happy I'm not a gay man, because I have a terrible singing voice. You boys all sing so nice, though.

[Sapphocrat]

19. Wrestling with kids?

You didn't infect them with The Gay, did you??

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. I don't think so.

Olivia is 5 and Jake is 7, so they're a bit young to figure out, if they've been infected. They're pretty gender neutral kids, though. And their parents would be fine, if they turned out to be infected.

My stepbro is probably infected and I've known him for less than two years. I think he came infected, though.

[WCGreen]

21. I was trying to be funny....

And my great friend thought it hilarious...

So if you take offense....

That' is not my problem...

[baby_mouse]

22. I'm gay. Can I come next year?

I promise not to convert anyone...

[WCGreen]

23. No converting...

Just plenty of accepting...

[baby_mouse]

24. Looks like you're gonna NEED plenty, too...

That's if they're serious...

Nice and cosy down in this part of the thread, huh?

[WCGreen]

25. Seems that way....

acceptance and a sense of humor are truly needed in order to survive, at least that's the way I see it...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Sorry if I missed the joke in things that you have said not-jokingly in the past.

I would provide links, but I'm not sure if that's against DU rules.

[Mad_Dem_X]

31. Some folks need to lighten up

For real.

[cwydro]

32. I know you were being funny...

A sense of humor is sometimes a rarity around here.:hi:

[ldf]

35. i enjoyed your humor, WC

i knew you was yankin' our chains.

:-)

see, more humor... we gays gots lots of it.

glad to share.

:toast:

[davidinalameda]

45. it's our problem if you keep posting these homophobic threads?

interesting

[cboy4]

55. Yes, with a major emphasis on "trying." Listen I'm really not out to

embarrass you. Seriously.

However, you appear troubled....even in a way psychologically tormented, judging by some of the "thoughts" you compose.

(And believe me, you're certainly NOT the first DUer lots of us have offered what we consider "mental health" assistance! ;)

The bottom line, speaking as someone who is gay --- I honestly find your remarks about gay people inappropriate, hurtful....even sometimes vicious. I can't understand why the moderators don't delete more of what you say, but I've come to realize everything is subjective; rightly or wrongly.

Is there a particular reason you must lower yourself to elementary school-type name-calling? It's as though you have no self esteem, which is really too bad. You've heard the 'ol saying....people name call to try to feel better about themselves.

I was telling someone here at DU (who, to be honest, is paper trail crazy wanting to get you banned) that I personally feel you're almost crying for help.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I only know you from your hurtful posts. That's about it.

You would be so much more interesting, intelligent, likable, etc., if you dumped the gay jokes!

Why not try challenging your mind instead of resorting to the playground talk?

Initially, I was going to lash out at you, and zero in on certain traits in an attempt to, well, humiliate you.

But I thought, that's ridiculous. I should take the high road and offer help to a fellow DU'er

I hope you choose to take advantage. Try to think.

The alternatives are otherwise unpleasant. :(

Have a wonderful weekend and good luck!

[trof]

7. I bet he didn't have a WeedWhacker.

Just about guarantee it.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

[LostinVA]

29. Thanks, man -- seriously

[Guava Jelly]

30. we lesbians need to stick together

(still trying to get past the no touching rule) :rofl:

[LostinVA]

33. Agreed -- and it's appreciated!

[Guava Jelly]

34. I am sure he didn't mean it as at came off

Reading his responses and all.
but I think people sometimes need to be reminded that not everyone can read ones intent from a simple post.
(or at least state in the post that sarcasm or jest is implied) I try to when i post something that may be taken the wrong way.Being a smartass myself :)

[texanwitch]

36. We had five gays vist so I guess we will all be turning gay soon.

38. Nope.........

They must not be old enough for that.........

[Maven]

39. What jabs at old folks?

What are you even talking about?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

40. I've taken care of my grandparents with dementia. I didn't see any jabs at old people.

I've dealt with elderly with no clue who I am.

However, I don't appreciate yet another jab at GLBT people and their straight allies by referring to us as the "Gay Police."

[Nicole]

41. We have gay police?

Dammit! :mad:
First I missed out the gay agenda and then the gay lifestyle. Now I hear there are gay police too????

I'll never get a frigging toaster if I don't keep up. :cry:

[Jamastiene]

42. It's not too late. I hear

San Fransisco is looking for a few good gay people to be police for them.

[Nicole]

43. Thanks!

I will pass on the info, since I don't qualify for the force.

[Jamastiene]

[davidinalameda]

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

47. Oh you're cheap. I'm holding out for this.

*sigh*

[Nicole]

50. What the hell is that thing?

A fancy coffee maker? *

* asks the non-coffee drinker.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. The Mercedes of espresso makers.

I am a coffee snob.

[Nicole]

52. It's a pretty one

Not sure if that makes the espresso taste better but it sure looks good. :)

[Nicole]

49. Thanks for the tip.
