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.

Happy Gay Pride Consumerism Month!

This is my time of year to feel like Scrooge. I keep hearing "Happy Pride!" or "Happy Gay Pride Month!" and I can't help but roll my eyes in disgust. We should be remembering how far we've come in a world where only a couple of decades ago it was illegal to be gay. We should remember the people who were murdered just because they were gay. Instead, we see all the consumerism running rampant in every media outlet known to us, and everyone is happy to jump on the Now Trending Wagon that is June Homosexuality. I'm happy to be gay. I'm grateful to be gay. I reflect on all the sacrifices made so I can enjoy my life today safely and less stigmatized. But, flags, parades, and consumerism are NOT what gay pride should be about. There is still much to be done about homophobia in the world. People in some countries are still being murdered just for being gay. Don't be proud - be grateful. Don't ...

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.

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.
