He's not "Gay" but he is very "Happy"

And my boyfriend also points out that there’s a definite subset of closeted Christian males in their 20s (having been one himself) who have so successfully repressed their sexuality that they don’t even know that they’re really gay.

Chilling line.

>>The problem is the gay agenda says they're "normal."

As my M.D. friend says, "normal" in the same way someone with Mongoloidism/Trisomy21 is "normal".

Alright Howlin since you know him personally I'll take your word for it. I've known a couple friend of my own family that were exactly like him and all of them are now married. Well there is one that isn't but we won't go there ;)

[Howlin]

You mean because it's so stupid?

I can only speak for myself here, but as a die-hard Clay fan, it's annoying to see the "Clay is Gay" theme recur over and over and over and over....

Admittedly, I take protecting his reputation way too seriously! My amternal instinct to protect the younger crowd! LOL!

Maybe it's also because he reminds me of me! I was a tormented nerd in school and the horrible things folks said to and about me hurt deeply!

Very good post.

[grumple]

Ya know what...who really gives a sh!t...Hell, if it weren't for the obvious, we'd be asking if Ruben was fat or black?

It serves no purpose to continue to instill sexual preferences, race or physical appearance in all matters irrelevant...other than to continue to divide the masses and fuel controversy...makes me sick...

[RMDupree]

amternal s/b maternal.

I was also a bit of a class clown since it was better to laugh at myself than be laughed at in a mean-spirited way.

What flashed in my mind was one gay man saying to another, "You know, there is a small number of young Christian men out there who are quite vulnerable to our charms. I found out who I was by way of generous introduction from a friend. Let's not be too hasty to dismiss these young, ernest, Christian men from our midst. You never know..."

[Howlin]

Ah, recruiting.

[onehipdad]

giddyup.

And you thought...?

"Here's the link to the video wall. Click on the thumbnail next to "Clay? Not a fan."

Man that guy who does those interviews needs his A$$ kicked big time.I have a feeling Clay was ready to do that...Why would they even let that bozo with little to no talent even interview those kids.He put them on the spot bigtime!

[Laura Earl]

Just read your profile. You are indeed one hip dad.

One of my best friends in high-school was the happy and gentle kind for the most part. Lots of people thought he was gay. He got kicked out of school for awhile after the school bully called him gay-boy one too many times. My friend quietly put his books down, walked up to the guy without saying a word and punched him. Layed him out cold. Broke his jaw in two places. He told me he wished he hadn't been wearing cowboy boots at the time - not very good traction! (He was a black belt in karate.)

[Constitution Day]

I didn't know it was a recurring theme.
I do understand your instincts though, having been a nerd myself. :)

Take care.

I thought just what I posted; that they WANT to believe that.

[RMDupree]

I believe they are all actually friends in a way. I say this since one of the interviews with Josh Gracin showed them playing pool together.

It appears to be a love-hate relationship. :)

The other Clay interview with the Jaded Journalist is quite funny as well!

[RMDupree]

From one former nerd to another, thanks! *grinning*

My eldest daughter starts kindergarten this fall. I'm so distraught! I hope she doesn't go through what I did.
