Starting a campaign on Pinkstart is easy, and free. And I should add that one person points out that this event is more about fat shaming in general than sodomizing, however, why would they need such a sensational, ridiculous title for the event if that’s the case? If it is about fat shaming, which is a serious topic, why make it about sodomy? The comments are honest and I agree with most of them.
Not to mention the fact that if you need that much information on how to sodomize anyone, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. It’s definitely not something I would ever attend based on the way it’s being promoted. When UCSB student and blossoming antigay activist Carlos Flores got wind of the event, he immediately alerted conservative blogs in an email subjected: “Another day, another degenerate email from the UCSB LGBT Center.” Jason Whitesel, whose book Fat, Gay Men: Mirth, Girth, and the Politics of Stigma explores the impact of fat-shaming the gay community. The event is scheduled for January 20 and is being hosted by the UCSB Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
At least that’s the impression they are giving.Īnd they can’t understand why “conservatives” don’t find this a topic of interest. Evidently, there are some people at some university who believe we need to know how to sodomize overweight gay men. This article is actually linked to the article I just posted about above, so I decided to add my own link and a few comments.
The subject is relevant, but the execution really sucks and we really need to be aware of the fact that the gay community is very diverse. I never fat shamed anyone and I know a lot of other gay men who never did that either. Once again, my problem with articles like this is they seem to be including the entire gay male community and that’s really out of line. “There is the exclusion that all gay people experience then there is within-group prejudice big gay men experience because of their size.” “Big gay men have an added exclusion,” contends Jason Whitesel, author of Fat Gay Men: Girth, Mirth, and the Politics of Stigma. With that said, here’s an article about fat shaming within the gay community.
I never did like it and I was raised to believe it was wrong even before the PC crowd found it to be a profitable topic on which they can make money…or get attention. I don’t care if it’s fat shaming or any other kind of looks shaming. Again, you can’t like everyone and you can’t expect to be liked by everyone.
There are gay male authors who don’t like me, and when I see them sometimes on social media my gag reflex kicks in. I think it’s an honest comment, in good taste. I knew he’d had a heart attack on stage in Berlin years ago, but not about the cancer. Everyone else take note of this: Bowie couldn’t have staged a better death. But the dignified way he handled his death, I mean, thank God. We used to hang out together with Marc Bolan, going to gay clubs, but I think we just drifted apart. He once called me ‘rock ’n’ roll’s token queen’ in an interview with Rolling Stone, which I thought was a bit snooty. I wasn’t his cup of tea. Here’s a quote from Elton John that’s about his not so friendly relationship with David Bowie.ĭavid and I were not the best of friends towards the end. We started out being really good friends.
