Aw, now they won't like that. How about something more gaycentric? Like...Steven's Magical Pecker Flute

No one cares to hear about your extracurricular activities.

You certainly don't want your sister finding out about this, she might divorce you.

A musical!!

Sure, why not?

Here's the first song from the musical.....



DISCLAIMER: Some of the lyrics of this song might be considered NSFW if you play it loud.... but it's nothing that hasn't been said already in this thread. You have been warned......

[twonabomber]

Dunno if this is what RuPaul was watching, but it's kinda disturbing in a way



Don't worry.... there's nothing pornographic or NSFW in here.

I identified all the shemales correctly, but misidentified four actual women.

Not sure I should have admitted that... but to me the shemales try too hard to look feminine and they're easy to pick out.

There's more to life than perversion, DONNIEP...

Yeah, there's easily offended closet cases that constantly mention how everyone else is gay in their manly diatribes, Elvira...

[FORD]

Elvis IS the one who first pointed out the bearded tranny singer from Eurovision, after all.

Gay guys have told me that they aren't attracted to trannies because, while they might have the "right" body parts, they look like chicks, and if they were attracted to chicks, they wouldn't be gay.

It's more than likely the bisexual guys who are into trannies, because that way they get "the best of both worlds" (as Van Hagar would put it)

That's probably what the song's about...

[Nickdfresh]

Wow, you sure spring to life when you're familiar with the subject matter...

It seems you've certainly done your research...

Says the guy who started the thread and mentions it every third post...

CHICAGO - LGBTQ students at the University of Chicago are circulating a petition objecting to slurs gay rights activist Dan Savage used during a exchange at the school's Institute of Politics event last week.

They said they were made to "feel uncomfortable" by a "transphobic slur"...

The incident occurred when, according to several sources, Savage and [the event hostess Ana Marie] Cox began discussing [Savage's] personal history as a gay man. According to a first-year student and member of the LGBTQ community who asked to be identified as Hex, Savage used the slur t—– as an example in an anecdote about reclaiming words. Cox then added, “I used to make jokes about t—-ies,” audience members recounted.

“That was one of the most hurtful parts,” Hex said, explaining the perceived insult was that Cox used the slur to refer to the group of people she joked about. “In that context, it was like being applied to all transgender people,” it said. (“It” is Hex’s chosen pronoun.)

"Hex" and other met with the IOP Executive Director Steve Edwards, who reported on the meeting to the Chicago Maroon:

“We listened openly and sympathetically to the concerns about language and about the dehumanizing effects of language and expressed our desire not to be a place where dehumanizing language is used,” Edwards said. “At no time did we characterize the language from the event itself.” They also praised the students for standing up against what they perceived as an issue.

But the meeting did not result as the offended expected, so they set up a petition drive on Change.org, asking the IOP organizers to avoid offensive language and terminology being used in presentations in the future.

Edwards said the IOP is working with the Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Student Life to develop future training for staff and the board.

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz. People need to get a fucking life.

Ok, I get the whole lesbian and gay thing. I would have thought that "queer" would fall under the whole Gay Umbrella. And are bisexual people a different category? Or are they just really horny?

Now, the whole transgender thing I don't get. So you're born a boy but you expect everyone to treat you like a girl? That would be like me going around trying to convince people I'm Gordon Gekko. Nah, I say people who are "transgendered" get treated like what they are - guys or chicks. No special bathroom privileges for them.

Lastly, I think all gay guys should have cool names like this gay activist. Dan Savage - now that's a kick ass name for a gay dude. "Hi, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend. Dan Savage. He's an animal!"

See that's the difference between me and you Don. You go around trying to convince people you are Gordon Gecko. People think I'm Gordon Gecko.

I retract my previous statement regarding transgendered people. I totally get it now. And I'd like to come out right now and proudly state that I too am a transgendered person. And a lesbian. Now, I demand access to all women's locker rooms, restrooms and dressing rooms! Victoria's Secret - here I come babayyyyy!!!

I had that access when I was a little kid. I can remember my mom taking me into the ladies room. Why did I want a Playboy Club key? I had it all and I wasn't even in kindergarten yet.

Thanks for that strange peek at your brain, Higgins!

Let's play a game.

Everyone get a stick. Pointy or blunt, it don't matter none.

Then, whenever you hear someone say they feel hurt or uncomfortable by something they heard, hit them. Very hard.

You get 5 points for bruises, 10 if you draw blood & 50 points if you make them call their parents*.

Cheers!

*Note that the rules of the game were created in a way that only allow for the recipient of the stickage to be at least 15 or older. No child is retarded enough to utter the phrase "I feel hurt or uncomfortable by something I heard". You really have to live quite a few years to achieve this degree of stupidity, it's not something you're born with.
