(7,820 posts)Or not. Good news is most of the reactions seem to be pretty positive. To be a bit cliche, "haters gonna hate!"

(1,415 posts)did it for two summers in high school when I marched drum and bugle corps. We slept on gym floors with little to no supervision, showered in the big communal areas of dozens of high school locker rooms and had long bus rides.
Guess what? No teh rapes for me! How did that happen?
Because there weren't any rapists there. That or I'm not pretty enough. Go figure
Besides, I take it as a compliment when a gay man (well, actually when anyone) compliments me for something.
Oh, and I wonder what the wives of players think of female reporters interviewing their husbands who are wearing just towels?

(8,084 posts)One day in one of their classes, someone asked if stalls could be put in place in the male off post now that they have One openly gay member.
I wish my hubby had stood up and said "Bitch please, you are not his type"
Ha ha ha
For the record that was a while ago and there are no plans to add individual stalls in the shower

(46,327 posts)It's always "the Other" who they have to hate.
Most of them gave up hating Jews and blacks, since that cuts into their incomes.
(No longer profitable to do that.)
So they have "Teh Gay" and "Dem Mooslems" to hate.
But the hatred is always the same.
"They take/recruit/hurt the CHILLLL-DREN!"
"They aren't like us."
"They want our jobs/money/property/etc."

They "love" Israel, cause they need it for the second coming, a genocide making ww2 look like a walk, and 50K converts...by force I suppose, to fight the final battle.
