When President Barack H. Obama visited Austin yesterday, he set off yet another social media tailspin.

On a visit to Franklin Barbecue, the President of the United States of America encountered Daniel Rugg Webb – comedian, artist, musician (and friend of Gay Place), and part-time Franklin employee – and, of course, sparks flew.

Yes, I'm sure they did.

Somehow I missed this one.

Possibly someone at the WH thought it conveyed a wrong impression.

Is 0bama queer?

For a fist bumpin’ Bear on the loose, anything is possible.

Hahahaha! Great gif!

[NorthMountain]

I pretty much assume that Bam-Bam is a pot-smoking, mohammedan, communist, queer Kenyan.

[NorthMountain]

To me, at least, that show is riotously funny.

[mojito]

Bam-Bam is a pot-smoking, mohammedan, communist, queer Kenyan.

And Austin must feel like a second home.

** BEAR ** in queer parlance means a slightly older, single and straight appearing (not overtly queer ) man.

isn't that strange that Obama would pick that word as his new SS code name ?

[mojito]

He and his advisers thought that “twink” was a little too obvious.

I believe the boy is slowly outing himself,I look for a coming out party real soon. That will not surprise many of us here.

Health Risks of Gay Sex

Obama promotes unhealthy behavior.

The comments under the article are quite entertaining.

Homosexual Agenda ping.

Thanks mojito.

I've lived in Hollywood - I've lived in Frisco - BY A MILLION MILES - Austin is the queerest town I HAVE EVER SET FOOT IN -

I see the Wookie wasn't with the "Bear" on this trip - where's Reg as well?

[Oliviaforever]

That BBQ joint will no longer have long lines now that it is known that Obama ate there and they let him cut in line, but they also have a homosexual drag queen working behind the counter.

[uncitizen]

Surely it was a total coincidence that the cashier was a transgender.

[exit82]

Thanks for the insight on Austin.

I knew it was a heavily lib town, but apparently, it registers high on Gay Richter Scale as well.

Forgive my ignorance of pop culture. What show is that?
