Remember Gay People?

Posted September 5, 2009 | 11:00:53 (EST)

Hey everyone. I realize we are in kind of a shit storm right now. I do. And lots of times when I bring up "the gay thing," my cozy straight, liberal, white male friends get mad (to be fair, they have a lot going on: "What do you mean I...

There they go again. When will those beatnik hippies let the real men deal with our national defense!? When will Johnny Camouflage step out of the way and let the bureaucrats in Washington get some?! Put down the didgeridoo and peace pipe hippy! *
