Athletically speaking, Gay Games VII was a joke. Everybody knows true competition shouldn't include hefty figure skaters, any kind of line dancing or games best played with a beer in your hand. More than winning medals and breaking records, Gay Games participants talked of the importance of participating, having fun, being "out and proud," making strides toward a more accepting America and all that jazz.
All around Chicagoland, guys kissed guys in the on-deck circle. Girls kissed girls between billiard matches. They didn't feel afraid or scared or judged.
And in those eight days of reprieve -- something special happened to a couple of guys from a tiny farm town in central Indiana.
During the opening ceremonies, Lee and Joe -- volunteer firefighters from a town of 600 -- hugged each other on the wide concourse behind the Soldier Field seats.
For Joe, it was this special moment or never. He gathered together all his courage and asked Lee, "Will you marry me?"
He slid a ring off his delicate ring finger, squeezed it on Lee's giant pinky, cutting off all circulation. They looked at each other and cried, big happy tears. Lee said, "Yes."

Sometimes I forget that we're such sensitive souls around here.
Degeneracy desperately seeking legitimacy. Sickness of the soul seeking to infect the entire world with their deadly rebellion, seeking to recruit the world to join them in reveling in what God says He find an abomination. Not difficult to see why it fits so snugly with liberal, like the liberalism driving the democrat party ... the leftist liberal technique for equality is to drag everyone as a nation down to some less than noble level. Why else would liberals seek to raise degenerate sexuality (and that covers a lot more than homosexuality) and murder of the alive unborn to the level of God given rights? Sickness in the soul ...
What a purdy mouth.
I did. My interest mainly extended to not getting beat up by one.
We try not to be judgmental; but sometimes something just slips out, don't be afraid.
Nothing sensitive about it. It's a natural reaction to things unnatural and perverse. I have the same reaction when I see severed limbs or triumphant democrat candidates.
"Everybody knows true competition shouldn't include hefty figure skaters,"
I would have thought figure skating to be the one sport where the top talent would be right at home here...
Been a vocal proponent of the "back in the closet and shut up" crowd for years. Anyone here part of the vocal hetero's who have "come out", crowd. I thought not.
The guy is a construction worker - I doubt he wears a tutu.
That's what I've always said. Why do they need the Gay Games, when we already have Men's Olympic Figure Skating?
And he went wee wee wee... all the way home.
"And we're the intolerant ones?"
There was a time when I could have cared less who was gay, what they were up to, etc. Now that they started shoving it in my face on what seems like a daily basis and hating me because I think they should keep it in the bedroom.
I has a friend that came out later in life and you couldn't really tell he was gay. He found that he absoloutely hated "the lifestyle". My favorite quote from him: Being gay isn't so bad if you can avoid all the queers and queens.
My cousin is gay and is the polar opposite. Flagrant, prissy, hate-filled attention-whore who acts cultured and talks Broadway with his friends even though he's never been near New York. He got POed at me because I refused to go see "Kinsey" with him and his "friend of the week". Closed-minded, he called me, even though I knew far more about Kinsey than he did. He's 37 and never dated anyone older than college age. I had dinner with them a few months ago and his "friend" couldn't even order a beer. He also refuses to date white people. He teaches band in a middle school. Scary.
Is there a mis-spelling in that line somewhere?
"Girls kissed girls between billiard matches.."
Glad it didn't say between the 8-balls.
"They didn't feel afraid or scared or judged."
In the meantime, it's perfectly all right to judge heterosexuals as breeders, Republicans as racists, straight men as wifebeaters, Bush as Hitler or a moron (you pick the one you like), censor opinions about homosexuality, force private people into the spotlight because you want to "out" them, and shove an ideology down the throats of unwilling families in schools.
In the words of P.J. O'Rourke: Will the love that dare not speak its name finally shut up?
The "two rural men in love" part of the title was pretty much a Barf Alert by its self.
wtf is that, I mean why is that not in an insane asylum.
Can't say find that any more appealing as a description of heterosexual sex.
But apparently around a quarter of heterosexuals disagree with me, so IMO it's not a "gay" issue.
When a post flys right over your head it flys right over you head, eh?
