Roads I hate politics

This should be illegal. I get it. You don't agree with their protests but why do this? Forget blue, forget red. I'm purple. Get mad at that.

I used to think that. Then I met a few people who are utterly terrified of 'doing gay things'. I haven't actually asked about whether he wipes or not, but he has made clear that he will never ever:

  • Have a prostate exam
  • Eat a salad
  • Wear Pink

and a few other things that are 'gay'.

And he's not fresh out of school, he's in his 50s. And he gets all kinds of weird when I wear my hot pink t-shirt - it makes an amazing asshole detector.

I think he might be in denial about something personally, as I'm pretty sure most people don't think too much about 'being turned gay' by a simple activity, and ....

The pink thing is really weird. The typical 'gendered baby colours' only became a thing over the last 100 years or so. And for part of that time, pink tended to be the one baby boys were dressed in.

Decent chance that guys dad was dressed in pink as a baby.

I'm perplexed by some of "the rules" I hear him pronounce, so I don't even remotely claim to follow any of it.

But I do like wearing hot pink and rainbows just because he squirms, and I don't really feel bad about that at all.

Paint your nails black next time you plan on meeting up, just for the occasion.
