      Eh, bit of column A and B. Sometimes people are just gay. But sometimes my joke is true as well. And then there are people who are ideologically entrenched on either side who shout down the other side. When in reality people are just people. Some people are gay and others are not. Some of those people were famous or important and the vast majority of them weren’t. And trying to stand on a mountain of corpses to prove either modern sensibility point is…just dumb.

        Personally, people just need to learn to mind their own fucking business and stop trying to control what other people do, say, and feel. If it makes someone feel good and happy to love someone of the same sex, go for it.

        Or as my granny used to say, paraphrased for modern times, “if you can’t say anything nice, then shut the ever-loving fuck up.”

          I’m not sure what that has to do with my point other than reinforcing it. Gay people are exactly that: people. Some were famous/important to history. A vast majority of them weren’t. Same with straight people. And standing on the graves of what came before as a way of proving/disproving something in the modern era is dumb.

              Ah. Well, I’m being critiqued by others. I figured you were dogpiling. I do apologize.

              Yeah. I don’t think someone’s sexuality factors into what makes them important. Dr. Alexander Fleming is important because of his discovery, not because of what he got up to in the bedroom.
