      Conservatives: “They’re trying to cram gAy AgEnDa down our throats.”

      My Gay Friend: Works in an office. Pretty good with Excel. Plays golf on Saturdays. Likes cats. Has a boyfriend but still trying to decide if he’s ready for a serious commitment. Just wants to be treated like a regular human being.

        One of my gay friends is a Wyoming cowboy so stereotypical he might as well be an extra in the Yellowstone TV show. He brews beer, hunts, etc. The “gayest” thing he does is competitive line dancing which, if we’re being honest, is not “gay” as much as it is dorky as hell.

    And here I am with no desire to display anything on myself, or make any statement with my clothes or behavior.

    I don’t feel the need to tell every stranger my life story. :)

      You know it’s okay to dress brightly, flamboyantly, dazzlingly and even fabulously too, right?

      Yet here you are doing in fact that exactly. What’s that called again?

      Oh yeah, virtue signalling

        Nope. Just want to say that there are many people who don’t have the need to put on a big show about themselves. It’s fine to just exist without broadcasting it to the world.

            Celebrate what? I don’t celebrate just being alive, but maybe I should. :)
