They were a problem at rest areas in the 1990s, might still be.
(moved from another thread)

We had one of those about 20
years ago. Huge news story.
Gays were hooking up at the
rest stop and HS kids were going
there for free weed. Whole bunch
of arrests. In Santa Barbara it
was the Greyhound station and a
24hr self serve car wash, of all
places. Somebody was always
getting their 'car' vacuumed (sucked) at
3 am..

I think Car Hose would have been the better analogy here rather than just Car. ;)

Anyways, Gay/Lesbianism isn't really all that Controversial a topic anymore. In 2019 the Controversial topic is Transgender/Transsexual. People are getting more and more used to the fact that some men amd some women are attracted to the same sex. But lots of people are still uncomfortable with people who were born as a girl or a boy get surgery/act like the opposite gender as Adults to become/seem like the opposite gender they were at birth. People have said stuff like "I'm kind of okay with Samuel and Eric being a Couple, but William getting surgery to become Wilma creeps me out!


That is pretty accurate, and that is one reason I don't like the "T" in LGBT, I do not think transgender issues should be conflated with gay and bi rights.

I support people doing whatever they want to their body, but it is a totally separate issue.

Do people still use the word
'tranny'? Why would that be
offensive.

In my bar at H-ween, all the Gays
I saw were always dressed as
women, every one of them. Tons
of makeup and eye liner, long
wigs and dresses. How imaginative..

For car repairs.

To refer to people, I am pretty sure that is a slur. As to why, I don't know, but it is usually used in a degrading manner.....

I don't know either. A left handed
pitcher is a 'leftie'. A transvestite
is a 'tranny'. Here's the Urban
Dict def:

Tranny
1. Transexual
2. Transvestite
3. Automobile transmission

Just call them "biological men" because that's what they still are.

I guess pride is fine as long as you are proud of being the right thing?

Well, yes.

The right thing is that which is socially acceptable.

That which is socially acceptable changes over time.

Yep, that's how libbies are. People can only celebrate things that THEY approve of. If libbies don't approve of it, then they don't want people to celebrate it.

Not only that, libbies are also very illogical. For instance, if it's normal (in their opinion) to be gay and also normal to be straight, then why can't both groups have "pride"?? (Well, we all know the answer to that, but libbies will never answer truthfully)

This is one of the many reasons why this country reaches new lows all the time. Libbies are successfully destroying the country. 😩
