I might as well be gay. And not just because I love rhinestones and Barbara Streisand. But because I'm a sensitive person who is supportive of gay people the same way I'm sensitive to grossly obese people and ugly people.

Richard Simmons is one of the most irritating people on the face of the planet.
Stereotyping of homosexuality by the media is tremendously damaging to gay youth... if they don't fit the fashionable-lispy-flamboyant-effeminate stereotype, they can get quite confused about themselves. We aren't all like that. The vast majority is not.

As I don't stereotype all Christians as the Phelps style fundy, I expect the same respect.

Boy this guy who posted this seems to have a lot of unresolved anger. It is very clear in his offkilter writings.
What guy? Bafriend? I don't think he seems that way.

Look closely at the cop's right hand, behind Simmons' left shoulder. Looks like he is getting ready to, or has just given the photographer the bird.

LOL! :D
tulc(that's quite a look on the cops face!) ;)

Yeah, that look. That cop is definitely up to something. It took me the longest time to figure out what that is on Simmon's T-shirt. I thot it was a caricature of some famous person, then I realized it was a California raisin.
