You know that "I Can't Believe its Not Boy Butter!" has half the calories of Boy Butter and that rich Boy Butter flavor.

Omg, I laughed out loud at work when I was named the Fag Hag of CoL. My coworkers think I'm crazy :/

I'll have to call in so you all can see that I don't sound like what Griff said I sound like.

As far as exes, I don't talk to any of mine. Of course I'm about to get married in three weeks so exes don't have a place in my life. If I was single, knowing me, I think I would still be in contact with my exes but it wouldn't be good for me. I really think it depends on the person and the situation.

Thanks for an awesome show guys :) Keep on rockin'.

Yep, its the Onion and it is satire and they are one of the only equal opportunity agitators out there.

Re: Poll: Is The Onion Going To Far?

fuzzbear — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:47:04 -0000

Nope..i think its pretty darn funny. With satire you always run the risk of being offending someone.. and actually if your not offending someone..i think your doing it wrong.

Griff,

I used to work in an office environment. I am an openly gay male. I had a picture of my partner at the time and myself on my desk. One day I was asked to remove it because it offended some people or so I was told. I told them only on the condition that everyone else removes the pictures of their loved ones. After all, fair is fair. I was fired. I do not live in a right to work state. The union would not support me. Your idea for a "silent movement" for lack of a better term is just that. Your idea and I respect that. However it won't always work. Nothing ever does. I was a good worker. I busted my ass everyday and was respected by colleagues or so I thought. Now tell me. What should I do? I have already talked to the labor board and was denied a hearing.

Satire never goes too far as long as all groups are satirized. The Onion has a long history of making fun of everybody.

Re: Poll: Is The Onion Going To Far?

BrienBear — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:08:25 -0000

The whole point of the onion is to make fun of stupid people who WOULD say things like this. Its a satire of stupidity. I'm not sure how that can be taken "too far".

Re: Poll: Is The Onion Going To Far?

quityourjob — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:05:40 -0000

I don't think its going to far LOL. I think you have to take everything with a grain of salt and just try to find the humor in it! People kind of know what to expect with these guys so personally, nothing shocks me :)

So I've been listening to the podcast for a couple months and caught the DADT comments made interesting. As a soldier who has served almost 6 years, been through basic combat training and advanced individual training with a gay man, and served twice in Iraq. I can only tell you guys my opinion from my experience in the Army. DADT may not be the best policy for gay soldiers serving or LGBT people who want to serve, but it is for the cohesion of soldiers who are not comfortable with gay people. We live, work, and fight in close quarters with each other( that includes shower, shit, and shaving).
I saw how other soldiers treated the gay soldier in basic. No one wanted to shower with him, pair up in combative sparing, sleep in the same tent during field training exercises. We have to be close like family and be professional to complete our mission whatever it may be. So if members of the family has unprofessional attitudes and feelings because "he/she is gay" or "he/she wants to fuck me" the mission suffers and lives are endangered. I don't like that some peoples prejudices are so strong they exclude someone because of who they are. But until the day we can say "lets throw away this misconception that all GAY PEOPLE are depraved sex fiends" and get to know them as PEOPLE. DADT wont be a necessary evil. I love the podcasts guys and I look forward to the next one though I think they should be daily instead of weekly.

C.T.

Deep show today guys. (If I ever post too much just let me know, hehe) And as usual I had a lot of thoughts about it. Not really going to lay them all out here, just going to say a couple of things.

For some reason I kept comparing the struggles of the gay community to the struggles of the African-American community while listening to you all. I have no idea if they are comparable, but listening to the back and forth reminded me of it.

My great grandmother used to tell me stories of some blacks who had the same thoughts as Jeff and some who had the opposite beliefs. Some who didn't want to make "massa upset". Others who wanted to fight for their rights and to be seen as whole people. There were others who wanted to use quieter methods. I'm not saying this is the same. I have no right to say that. I'm just saying it reminded me of it.

In the end, African-Americans chose to fight (for the most part). It took a long time though. Overall, hundreds of years. Sure, it ramped up more in the 50s-70s but rebellion was happening since slavery. Do gays have as long of a way to go? Are they slaves in other ways besides physical? Will rocking the boat lose the battle but win the war? I really don't know. And everybody won't be all in and everybody will have differing opinions. Everybody chooses what makes sense for them I suppose.

Am I wrong for comparing the two struggles? Is it the same to you all? I know you talked about this on previous shows already. So no need to really go over again.

Sorry for the super long comment guys. You don't have to read it on the show or anything, I was just honestly interested.

Sorry, Jeff, you are my fav drood (/lick) but I have to agree with your co-hosts. Being gay is not really a right, it's just something that you are. Having a right dictates that you have a choice to do it or not. It's not a choice to be black, gay, tall or short. You don't really have a right to do any of these things. That's just who people are. I think that's why maybe Griff was a little upset about the word "right". There is no choice in this.

And on the matter of being in peoples faces, there are some people who are "in peoples faces" with the gay movement. But not everybody is like that. Should everybody who is gay state the fact that they are gay all the time and be in their faces all the time? /ponders now I can see how bringing their mate to the company picnic or something like that is akin to something like a silent demonstration. Would you look down upon someone who is gay but is not outspoken about being gay? Not that they are hiding it, but doesn't go out of the way to state that they are gay. Is this anything like if a person was of a mixed race, they would have to state that they are black and let everybody know this? Or do you see that this is something different? (That's a serious question).

And I wonder how the percentage of straight people that marriage doesn't matter compares to the percentage of gay people that marriage doesn't matter. Do you think it's comprable? I have no idea what the percentages might be. I was just wondering in my head.

Ok, sorry for me getting so deep. I honestly don't get a chance to have a back and forth dialogue with somebody who is gay so I don't get to ask the questions that I have always wondered. And on this same note, how do you feel when someone who is straight is generally interested in the way the gay culture feels about certain issues. Do you feel like you shouldn't talk on behalf of the gay community? Do you feel uncomfortable? Are you excited that somebody wants to know more? As an African-American, I welcome back and forth dialogue and if somebody wants to know more, I love to try to educate but I do caution them that they are my views and might not necessarily reflect the views of other African-Americans. Future topic idea maybe?

Thanks guys so much and /lick Jeff.

Thanks for this podcast! I think Coming Out Day is awesome for so many reasons. Even though I'm a straight female, I have seen the struggles that closeted gays go through. I'm not going to pretend to understand, but it still hurts when I see it.

I want a day where that doesn't have to be a coming out day and that people can just come out without prejudice or shock and it becomes accepted.

Thanks for the awesome podcast guys. It's one of my favorites! Keep it up. *drinks because she heard Capital City Mens Chorus*

Re: Do We Want to Stay with Bear411?

iluvbears — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:09:27 -0000

Why even stay if he discriminate on non-bears. If you don't look like a bear, bearish, a cub or cubbish...you will be rejected. It's funny that he even includes a radio button to select what category type you identify as and one of the selections is "CHASER". Surely enough you get rejected automatically. That's the whole point of having those buttons. If you are a Bear411 member who loves the site and don't believe this bigotry in the community, get a skinny smooth friend to subscribe to the site...you'll be in for a rude awakening.

Whether talking about bears or cubs, for me at least, facial hair is a must. Preferably goatee. Love the podcast by the way, keep posting :)

I was just listening to this cast and wanted to say I am a dad - I have one little boy, now 2 1/2, that I adopted from Viet Nam when he was 4 1/2 months old. I'm a single dad - was single when I adopted and still am. Anyway, I'd be willing to talk about it if you're interested.
