Happy Pride? June 9, 2023

You young whipper-snappers have it so good these days! You have a whole month dedicated to you so you can dress up in drag, go on parades, lisp away in public all day, give your money to any business that will wave a gay flag, and then be celebrated for it. Enjoy it, queers! This was brought to you by all those old queens and poor gay victims that got their ass kicked, arrested, or killed just so that we can be openly gay today.

Most of you will never know what it's like to be the victim of a military witchhunt, and be kicked out of the military for being gay. Most of you will never know what it's like to be chased down by a bunch of raging homophobic drunks who want to kick your ass because they heard you like to suck dick. Most of you will never know the pain of being gay in the closet, and wondering if life is worth living. But, hey! Happy Pride Month!

The moral of my rant and rave here is that you're welcome to celebrate all you want, but just remember all those poor gay and lesbian folks that helped make this moment hospital. Honor their memories by doing a Google search and educating yourself about gay culture and its history.

I Don't Care About The Rich and Famous

Every single time I open a new browser window, I get headlines about famous people and their suffering due to some manner of ill fortune. I honestly don't give a flying fart about the woes of rich and famous persons. These are people who monetize their lives at the expense of countless others who are suffering worse fates and misfortunes. Give me headlines that make me feel good, give me headlines that make me happy. Give me headlines that fill me with joy for good reasons. I don't get off to hearing about the elites suffering like normal people. Leave that tabloid crap in the tabloids where it can fester. Leave it out of my internet browsers.

Private Vintage Moment

I would love to have been the person who took this photo! At first I thought it was someone who got caught in some sort of flash flood. The naked man distracted me from taking in his surroundings. After some focus, I realized this is a vintage image of what looks like a beefy guy washing his modified pickup at the river's edge. You can see the old train bridge crossing in the distant background, but more importantly, you can see that beefy ass and thick build right in front! There probably isn't much of this going on anymore. Now we have subscription carwashes, and few people would be caught dead handwashing their own vehicle, much less doing it naked at the edge of some nearby river. Moments like these are gone now because of all the technology around us. That's why vintage photos of these special moments of a man and his truck are so special.

Old Equals Invisible

I'd be the first to admit that when I was younger and cruising up gay bars, I would see right past the old guys and ignore they even existed. I would, if it was true. I was that rare guy that was into much older men even when I was in my twenties. My friends hated it, but I loved it because I had little or no competition. It was nothing for my friends to see me go home with someone twenty years my senior and return in the morning with a big smile on my face. All daddy issues aside, I see now how those older men must have felt when they went to gay bars. I have tried to smile at younger men in the club, I have tried to start conversations out of sheer politeness, but I was treated like I was invisible, or worse, like I was some sort of infectious disease no one wanted to get close to. Shallow, I know. But in the spirit of that same shallow mentality, I haven't been to a gay bar in ages because I realized there was no one there that I found physic...
