Quote of the day - robo-potty Naugle

Sad but true

I could totally see some self loathing gays as his friends.  We all know the type.  However, I'm hoping he's just blowing smoke out his ass, per usual.

Oh dear sweet Jebus...

I pray I didn't sleep with him, too. Oh dear dear lord. If only I could remember last Saturday night, we'd all have some clarity on whatever he's talking about now.

Oh, yeah!

We really need to do something to change that inclusiveness kind of behavior.  Let's get back to the good old white guys only in charge kind of behavior.

He has several gay friends...

Mark Foley, Ted Haggart, and that fake reporter from the White House press room come to mind.

Someone's a Fake

It is possible Naugle has gay friends, but if he does it is that they are a) Republicans and b) they realize pandering to Bible thumpers is all part of the business, in the same way wiping runny noses is part of being a kindergarten teacher.  In this case, then, Naugle is a fake because he is pushing robo-potties to pander to the worst impulses in the Fundy base (and there are many bad impulses from which to choose). 

 Or, more likely, Naugle is a homo-hater, and he is lying about having gay friends.  How would such a friendship look?  Do they hang out together, have barbeques, play cards.  And while Bill and Jack go on and on about the fabulous time they had at Fire Island, does Naugle sit back, cluck his tongue, and say, "You know, we really enjoy coming over for Scrabble night, but I have to remind you I don't approve of your homosexual lifestyle."  Can you imagine that happening?  If it did, it would put the screeching breaks on the evening.  And it would make the wild game of Twister later especially awkward.

Either way, Naugle is not really a homobigot, or he is a big homobigot and doesn't really have gay friends.  Either way, he is a liar.

Well

not all gay people go to Fire Island, but if Naugle is the christo-bigot he claims to be, he has to disapprove of their "lifestyle" anyway, even if it is cuddling on the couch after putting the kids to bed.

Also, he didn't say that he has "gay friends" he said that he has friends who are "longtime members of the gay community".  Like its a club that you can join, but you have to renew every year or it expires.

My guess is that he is:

A) talking about ex-gays

B) talking about professional acquaintances that he tolerates until they are out of sight, at which point he washes his hands furiously with anti-bacterial soap

C) completely full of shit.

PS, it is sometimes legitimate to talk about the "gay community", in the sense that  being gay implies a different set of commonly shared experiences than being straight, and therefore the needs and concerns of the general public can not just be assumed to cover gay people.

But, somehow when I hear someone like Naugle use the phrase, it sounds like he is referring to us as a different species.  And you know, you've met one gay, you've met them all.

I'm a card carrying member

"..."longtime members of the gay community".  Like its a club that you can join, but you have to renew every year or it expires."

 I just got my 45 year membership award at this year's annual meeting.

Membership has its privileges?

Are there different levels, like with frequent flyer status?  Nifty luggage tags? On-line discounts?  Special clubs where you can avoid the hoi polloi?*

 

*please, no nitpickers telling me it's not "the hoi poloi" but just "hoi poloi."  The former is more common in American usage, the latter in English, though I've read English novels and newspaper articles where they use the American form of this Greek term.

Dude!

They'll do your step aerobics class for you, and redecorate for you, make snarky comments you're too exhausted to make while watching The Oscars (or the award show of your choice), and they'll speculate as to who in the public eye might be gay.  They'll do it all!  That's what you're paying for to live in VILLAGE PEOPLE, Phase 1.

Scottsdale Arizona is attempting to mend their LGBT community relations after REPEATED Hate Crimes are giving them a not so gay-friendly tourism reputation.

Hey Fort Lauderdale how much revenue do you suppose the LGBT tourism adds to your coffers?

I'm sure you won't miss our tourism, and besides you folks are such BIG taxation fans you won't mind coughing up the difference in property taxes, school board bonds and more toll roads.
