Queer as in fuck you
In Pride Month I learned the sad story about David Olio, who was forced out of his job for playing, not reading, an Allen Ginsberg poem ‘Please Master’ to 17-18 year old college bound kids.

It’s never OK to say that’s so gay
Nice to see this video from the Teens React series to cover something more serious, about Jonah Hill being a dick calling someone a faggot (I can use that word, as a gay man, you can’t Jonah!). I’ve noticed this tendency over the last decade or two, the whole ‘that’s so gay’ thing, the f-word…
