I'd love to have a gay son. I could use the fashion advice.
This exactly. Maybe more flameworthy for me because I am gay, and somehow gay people wanting gay children sounds flameworthy. However, I still plan to sprinkle my theoretical future son with glitter constantly so that maybe in 14 or 15 years, he can teach me how to put on eyeliner correctly and tell his other mom to stop shopping from the lesbians r us catalog. women.duluthtrading.com/
Oh, I totally hope one of my sons is gay. I need someone who will tell me if my makeup looks weird when I am old and make sure that I am not dressed in something ridiculous at my funeral. Two straight sons is plenty--the third one needs to take me shopping and to the Oscars and things like that. (And don't tell me that not all gay men take their moms to the Oscars--this is my fantasy, dammit.)
I hope and pray soozy never, ever, ever has children. That's probably sort of flameful, but I can't imagine how hard and cruel that childhood would be.
I'm pretty sure my son is going to be hetero when he grows up -- but he liked having painted toenails when he was a toddler. He liked playing with dollhouses, and he had a baby doll when he was very little that he still loves. All typical girl things, done and enjoyed by my very masculine little boy. And it bothered him when he'd see things that were typical "girl" things that he liked, and he asked questions about it, and worried about it.
Precisely because he had classmates like the kids soozy may have, whose parents told them THIS IS THE RIGHT TOY and THIS IS THE WRONG TOY and those kids then went on to go to school and make fun of kids who played with WRONG TOYS and perpetuated and reinvented the same hateful fucking cycle that soozy professes bothers her.

How did she cheat on her husband? From her description, the man kissed her. Personally, I would tell my husband but I could see why she wouldn't given that she said she has to see him all the time.

All gay dudes are experts in makeup and women's fashion?
If Cosmos can have a pretend gay son, cant she have a pretend gay son that is into fashion and makeup? I think most gay people would have laughed at her joke. And definitely at penguin's.

DS's first grade teacher sent an email to some of the kids' parents from his class. Apparently one of the moms wants her son to spend more time with kids from school and is asking for parent contact information from those who would like to have a playdate with her son.
Apparently her son is a Call of Duty fan and plays it "all the time" (according to my son).

Yeah, I'm kind of with you there. Gays are people. They aren't all fabulous, well-dressed, Tim Gunn-quoting, glitter-loving sassy little things who want to help you get dressed up for your fabulous nights together of drinking fruitinis and dancing to Carly Rae songs. Like straight people, they aren't all the same and I find it kind of insulting to think that they all must be fashionable or whatever? (Related: I also hate when women treat them like tokens, which is super common.)
I am having trouble thinking of a gay friend who has any interest in women's clothing or makeup. So I'm stuck dressing myself. Maybe I'm hanging out with the wrong gays?

people, it was a JOKE.
And out of my gay guy friends, I'd say 50% have awesome fashion taste, and 50% do not.

I dont know the inside feelings of all gay people, but the few that I know would laugh at that joke. Just like I laugh when people make fun of British people's teeth. I wore braces. However, I know there are many perfect teeth in England.

I'm gay, and I laughed. I think it's now fairly widely understood that not all gay men are into fashion---and not all lesbians dress like awkwardpenguin 's partner (including me!).
Totally off topic, but what DOES drive me nuts is when someone says something like, "oh I should introduce you to this other lesbian I know" based solely on our shared sexual orientation. Like, do you feel like you have tons in common with every other straight person you encounter?? So weird.
