shells and starfish.
She created quite a scene as sweaty joggers went by, giggling at her owner, who attempted to tug at her collar and even push her a little from behind. A moment of panic set in, and he was visibly embarrassed yet patient. After a few minutes he convinced her to get up and move along.
But I wanted to do it, too. There were, after all, no cameras around. I would probably never see these guys again anyway.
We sailed a while and anchored at a sandbar, out in the middle of the crystal blue water. Captain Steve and Mo instructed us to wade out to it while they fixed our lunch. So we did. We walked around picking up conch

I am a conservative risk taker. I don’t know about you, but I need to take more risks in my life. Why not? I’m not getting any younger. Neither are you. I may need a little push once in a while, but if I want to plop down in the grass in the park or walk naked on a sand bar, so be it. Maybe you should, too.
.
According to a 2005 article by Jennifer Warner, “Are Risk Takers Happier?” on WebMD.com a study showed that people who enjoy taking risks may be more content and satisfied with their lives. The study also showed that willingness to take risks decreases dramatically with age.
m
After about an hour we all got back onboard and started rinsing off and drying off. The next thing I knew two guys were naked and sprawled on deck, all their business out in the open. These were the last guys anyone wanted to see naked, trust. I thought, oh shit, here it goes. Thankfully, no one else gave in to their premature peer pressure.
After a while we suited back up, waded back out to the boat, had lunch, sailed back to shore and went on with our day. Sunburned butts and all.
@g
Still no one was naked. Whew, I thought.
You know what? It wasn’t so bad. It was one of the most liberating experiences I’ve had. If my friend had not encouraged me, I probably would have gone back to the boat. No one pointed or laughed or made anyone feel awkward. It was “Lord of the Flies,” and we were Ralph, Jack, Simon, Piggy and the boys, roaming the island without any parental supervision. Only no one got killed.
07
It was so peaceful as we sipped wine, gossiped and listened to club music before we anchored at our first spot to go snorkeling. I’m not the best swimmer, but I gave it a try. I can’t snorkel in the city, now can I? I swallowed about two glasses of salt water, which doesn’t go well with wine, by the way.
So I did.
Note: Stay tuned to read more about my experiences in Key West in our upcoming David magazine travel issue. se es J t ac nt o C

As I boarded and met Captain Steve and First Mate Mo, whose skin was a lovely shade of leather, I thought: there is no way my fat white ass is getting naked on this boat. After hearing all the rules, we set sail with a giant Gay Pride flag blowing in the wind.
“You know what, I may never get this chance again,” my friend said. “I’m doing it.” He dropped trow and said, “Come on, you should, too.”
ck
There I was with a group of other gay media men, reporters and radio guys and such, and there were cameras aplenty. And of course, the most fabulous sunglasses, spray tans, pedicures and swimsuits. One guy was wearing a gorgeous flowery sarong.
Awkward silence.

I was in Key West this past week. While I was there I ended up on the Blu Q, a fabulous day cruise designed for gay men to hang out, snorkel, have lunch and cocktails, and get some sun. Oh, did I mention the cruise is “clothing optional?”
“Yea, haha,” I said. “Crazy, horny old men.”
an
It made me think about life and how we sometimes need someone to push us along. We get so caught up in our routines and get comfortable or lazy. Some of us let life pass us by and never take risks.
“Wow, look at everyone following the naked guys,” my friend from New York said.
jh
“Come on girl, you can do it,” her owner begged. “Pleeeease.”
Then it happened. Two gorgeous guys, a couple, were suddenly walking along the sandbar just as naked as could be. Then two more. Then a few old guys. Then a few more. Then another. Did I miss something? Were we supposed to get naked on the sandbar? I didn’t see that in our itinerary.

The Brent Star Report
Mr. Universe
T
he first warm day after that random cold front last that we had last week in the middle of May week, I stopped by Outwrite Bookstore to check out their event of the evening appropriately called “A sneak peak at Mr. Universe”. I guess I was on drag time when I walked in considering they had already started the presentation which was a scene from the new play, Mr. Universe, that opens May 26th at 7 Stages. Standing before the crowd, was this New Orleans jazz player looking brother as if we’re on some corner of the famous Bourbon Street---but of course, we’re constantly reminded of where we are as the life size windows surrounds the back of him and the familiar passerbyers are constantly ‘peeking’ in like the folks do when taping a segment of Good Morning America. The saxophonist paused, checked out the hottie that decided to stand next to him, took a quick swig from the metal liquor flask he pulled out from coat pocket (yea, at this point the audience were in a deep silence cause half of us were also checking out this hottie up and down and the other half wished they had a sip of whatever it was he was dranking). Ok, next thing you know he started to take off his clothes down to his hot white tight briefs. His body was RIGHT!!!! Then this hottie, looking like a cross between Captain American and He Man started to apply body blood across his chest and stomach in a stabbing motion. Blood or not, the crowd on the inside AND the outside were frozen…stiff? (yes, pun for some I’m sure). So, I’m thinking apparently he must be Mr. Universe. Then this drunk ass lady came out of nowhere, sees the hottie and asks “what the hell happened here?”, then 2 drunk drag queens came out from the back of the store talking that drunk jargon and carrying ons before they notice Mr. Universe. One of them wanted to take him home to clean him up and take care of him (un huh, I bet she did), the lady was like “who would want to take THIS home with blood all over him? “, the other drag queen quickly yells out “I do!” then they proceeded with their scene. It was really good, but the scene was only a teaser. Plus I can’t tell you TOO MUCH about this dark comedy that also involves a murder mystery---In other words child, you’ll see me on the FRONT ROW when they open! There was a brief chat with the crowd and director, Del somebody, Immediately afterwards, the actors playing the roles of those contrasting drag queens, Mr.

Universe and the director headed over to Blakes for a quick cocktail (oh, and of course I tagged along too to ask just a couple of questions and just ONE cocktail). Brent: So tell us about your role (s).
Don Finney: Welllllll….(sip of her dirty martini, speaking in his well seasoned and sassy ‘theatre’ voice). I play a drug dealing drag queen with a bad drug habbit by the name of Judy. She’s very messed up and not a very nice person. She pretty much hates hers b/c of a lot of rejection in her life, but when she does drag…..she feels pretty. Dolye Reynolds: I play Vic who is the nice drag queen although my character doesn’t live in drag like Judy. My character is very nurturing, she was married to a woman and had a child. She’s now a waiter by day, and occasional drag by night. And I’m the one who first decided to take Mr. Universe home to care for him. Brian Kirchner: According to the script, I play “the perfect man in the world—muscular, beautiful, half naked (plus a couple of nude scenes) and a mute”--the mute parts adds to the mystery of this. Oh, and he seduces all the characters AND the audience (don’t forget to put the dollar bill in my G string. Del Hamilton: I’m the director, but I also played the role of Vic from the popular 1987 version that was done at 7 Stages. Would you like a cocktail Brent?
Brent: Hell yea. Ok so how long have you been in the theatre and what roles are you most proud of? .. Jack and coke please.
Don Finney: 30 years (my mouth dropped). “Waiting for Godot” twice at 7 Stages, A one man show about Truman Capote, “Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde” where I played Oscar Wilde to name a few Where to catch Brent Star: Sundays at Cowtippers, Thursdays at Matador Cantina in East Atlanta, Friday at Jungle for Dragnique, Saturdays at Tijuana Garage, occasionally at Burkharts and everywhere else that pays! www.facebook.com/Mr.BrentStar

Jennifer Tilly:
The Exclusive David Magazine Interview By Jesse A. Hancock Photos by Sony Pictures Television / Annette Brown
J
ennifer Tilly does what she wants. Being a Hollywood starlet for thirty years allows her that freedom. She has paid her dues.
“When I was younger I did a lot of roles because I had to pay the rent or needed new plumbing,” said Tilly. “Now I don’t have to do things for money. So anything you see me do is because I think it is fun, or I just want to do it.” Tilly, who now lives in Los Angeles and Las Vegas with her boyfriend Phil, is an Academy Awardnominee for her role as Olive in Woody Allen’s “Bullets Over Broadway” (1994). Her sister, Meg Tilly, is also an Academy Award-nominated actress for her role in “Agnes of God” (1985). Starring in countless films such as “The Fabulous Baker Boys” (1989), “Liar Liar” (1997), and “Bride of Chucky” (1998) and as a guest star in numerous television shows, Jennifer Tilly is no stranger to the camera. Flirty, sassy, and confident, she really knows how to win over audiences. In recent years she has also become an accomplished poker player, and she’s learned that happiness comes from doing things she likes to do. David Magazine: How do you like Atlanta? Do you have any Atlanta connections? Jennifer: Oh, I love Atlanta! A few of my good friends live here. I used to come out here a lot because my parents lived in Alpharetta, and I did an interview once with Jezebel Magazine. David Magazine: What can you tell us about your role in the upcoming season of “Drop Dead Diva?” Will it be recurring? Jennifer: I play Ginny in one episode. She’s an actress and a little kooky. I’m hired by Fred (Ben Feldman) to
play his mom. Fred is an angel who watches over the main character, Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliot). Fred’s girlfriend, Stacy (April Bowlby), who doesn’t know he is an angel, wants to meet his parents, so Fred gets roped into it. My character arrives and gets excited about the free alcohol. I drink a little too much white wine and start saying inappropriate things to Fred’s girlfriend like, ‘You’re a little old to be a model,’ or ‘You should really think about your future prospects.’ So basically I’m the mother from Hell. Then it works out because Stacy says to Fred, ‘We never need to see your mom again.’ So I doubt I’ll be in any future episodes as his mom. I wouldn’t mind doing more episodes. It’s such a fun show, and everyone is so cute and nice. Then when I was reading the script I realized it was filmed in Georgia, and my step-mom lives here. She was like, ‘I want you to come out and see my house in Peachtree City.’ So it was very serendipitous. It’s so beautiful here. Her son is an airline pilot based in Atlanta, so she moved out to be closer to him. David Magazine: You’ve been acting in movies and television since 1983, and your breakthrough film role was in “The Fabulous Baker Boys” in 1989. Do you prefer film or television? Jennifer: I like film better. You’re in and out. I love low budget movies because I have such a short attention span. You can usually shoot those in ten to eighteen days. I’m used to trying to figure out a way to cheat. I’m always astounded when I do a major motion picture at how slow the pace is. It’s like, ‘Now let’s get a close-up of the cat and a close-up of the ceiling and a close-up of the fan.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God, can we please move on to the next scene?’ With television, I’ve done two series: ‘Key West’ and davidatlanta 27
‘Out of Practice.’ I really felt trapped doing both of those. It’s funny because all an actor wants is to have a job and be adored, and with a series you have an ideal situation , but for me all I could think of is how I could get out. It’s like people who are in a relationship for a long time and decide to get married. All of a sudden they are like, ‘Oh my God I can’t breathe.’ It’s exactly the same as living with the person unmarried, but now it has a title. I do prefer doing movies, but it’s also fun to come be a guest on a television show. David Magazine: You provide the voice of Bonnie Swanson in ‘Family Guy’ and a number of other voiceovers. When I searched Bonnie videos on YouTube, the famous lesbian kiss scene came up. What’s it like playing Bonnie? Jennifer: I started doing the voice of Bonnie in 1999, and then the show got cancelled. Then four or five years went by and people discovered the show again on DVD. That’s the great thing about doing voiceover work. With voiceovers you never get older, and it doesn’t matter what you look like. I just did a pilot for a nighttime cartoon at Fox by the guy who did ‘Space Ghost.’ I’ve been doing Bonnie, who was always pregnant in her scenes, a long time. I used to come in and do one or two lines, and one day I came in and asked Seth (MacFarlane) when there would be a
I usually play character parts, and I think that has played to the longevity in my career. If you’re just the pretty one, you can only do that for so long. whole episode about Bonnie. He said, ‘When Bonnie has the baby, we’ll do an episode about her.’ I said, ‘In other words, when the moon explodes.’ Then he said, ‘Haha, that’s right. Bonnie is never having that baby!’ Then one day I came in and it was time. I never read the script ahead of time because I’m not a dedicated professional. Bonnie was having the baby. It was so fun for a while playing Bonnie. Seth was going crazy with her. She was dabbling in lesbianism and had an affair with a French guy. She was reveling in her new body. Then I went back a few months later and he was like, ‘Here’s your one line.’ And I was like, ‘Thank God, things are back to normal.’ David Magazine: How do you like doing voiceover work? Jennifer: I love it. I’ve been doing a lot of it, but about six years ago I got really obsessed with poker. My 28 davidatlanta
boyfriend is a professional poker player. Every time I get an offer for a role or voiceover, I always think about whether I’d rather play poker. I did an episode of ‘Family Guy’ a few weeks ago, and Seth (MacFarlane) put in a funny line for Bonnie. A character asks, ‘Hey, are we going to see you around?’ and Bonnie says, ‘Yea, probably. I have to go do this voiceover work to pay for my gambling addiction.’ I was like, ‘That’s really cute, Seth. Thanks a lot.’ David Magazine: Who have been some of your most memorable movie co-stars and/or directors? Congratulations on your Academy Award nomination! Jennifer: ‘Bound’ and ‘Bullets over Broadway’ have been my very favorite movies that I’ve done. I love working with Joey Pantoliano and Gina Gershon, my costars in ‘Bound.’ Gina, Joey and me were like the gruesome threesome. We had the best time. I’ve actually worked with Joey on a bunch of other things since then, and I’m really good friends with Gina. She comes over. I loved working on ‘Bullets Over Broadway.’ Even thought it was a high budget film, Woody Allen, our director, shot it like a low budget film. We never had to repeat anything. He just put the camera on these little tracks and went around and captured the scenes. He loved when things went wrong. If a chandelier broke, he’d never say ‘cut.’ He just wanted us to deal with it. A lot of the takes used in the films were scenes that were not working out. Like there was one scene where I could not get my cigarette lit, and I turned to John Cusack, who played my boyfriend, and said, ‘Would you mind?’ I also loved working with Chazz Palminteri because he was loose and improvised a lot. When you have good chemistry with people, it’s a lot of fun. I also loved working with Jim Carrey on ‘Liar Liar.’ He is so talented and so fun to work with. However, on a Jim Carrey movie the only one who is allowed to improvise is Jim. I think he’s a comic genius, and he’s very generous. He would give me things to do, like on our first scene when he was leaving the room he goes, ‘Jennifer, as I go out, grab my ass.’ So I did. David Magazine: Your voice is so recognizable to horror fans as the ‘Bride of Chucky.’ What was that experience like for you? Jennifer: I love those movies. Don Mancini created those characters, and he’s a good friend of mine. When we did ‘Bride of Chucky,’ he decided the reason it was so popular was because I was in it in the flesh, and of course my character, Tiffany, dies and turns into a doll. Don just wracked his brains thinking of a way to get me back into the film. He came up with this parody where I was playing Jennifer Tilly, the actress, who was playing Tiffany the doll. When I found out he was doing this I said to him, ‘You’ve got to make me the Hollywood bitch from Hell.’ When he turned in the first draft, Universal was not pleased. They thought it was too funny, too gay and had way too much Jennifer
Tilly. They thought my character was really unlikable. He just decided to make it more campy. I think we’re getting ready to gear up and make another ‘Chucky’ movie. David Magazine: Were you on set during the filming of ‘Bride of Chucky?’ How does that work? Jennifer: No, what we did was go in and record all the voiceovers. Then the puppeteers went in and put
I don’t feel like there’s any point in doing anything unless you do it really good. I don’t want to be just a poker player. I want to be a great poker player. the hands and feet and eyes and mouth movements to match the voices. David Magazine: You’ve played some controversial roles. What types of roles do you like to play? Jennifer: I usually like to play characters that are a bit off. When I was young and gorgeous, I was always trying to play the girl who was trying to kill the main girl, or the wacky neighbor of the girl. I usually play character parts, and I think that has played to the longevity in my career. If you’re just the pretty one, you can only do that for so long. Then you become like Bette Davis in ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’ Now I’m really lucky because I’m in the position to only do the roles I want to do. I turn down a lot of roles because I’d rather play poker. Now if Scorsese calls, that’s different. I would miss the World Series of Poker to do something with him.
winnings. I don’t feel like there’s any point in doing anything unless you do it really good. I don’t want to be just a poker player. I want to be a great poker player. I still have a long ways to go before I become a poker great. I believe people who play poker or do things to stimulate their minds live longer. I used to eat Fritos and drink margaritas and not exercise. Now I’m reading all these articles on longevity and how to prevent Alzheimer’s, and they say one way is to do things that challenge you. I think poker stretches your mind. It encompasses everything. It’s not just about cards. I’ve gotten into this whole metaphysical thing. There have been studies done that say people can influence the way dice fall. I don’t want to sound like a whack job, but I feel you can kind of influence the way the cards come up when you enter another dimension when you play poker. Sometimes when you are so in the zone, you can see other people’s cards and what they are thinking. I’ve been reading all these books about how to achieve peak performance or how to enhance your psychic power, as well as poker strategy. It’s like chess, which is also not an easy game either.
Jennifer Tilly will be appearing in an upcoming episode on Season Three of “Drop Dead Diva,” which premieres June 19 on Lifetime.
David Magazine: Do you regret turning down any parts? Jennifer: Not really. If I like the way a part is written, I usually agree to do it. One time when I was first starting out, I went to audition in this guy’s basement. I didn’t even have my Screen Actors’ Guild card at the time. I got an agent who said, ‘You don’t want to do this, they are just going to exploit you.’ The director kept calling me saying he wanted me in the movie. The more he called, the more I thought he was a weirdo, which he is, but I will always regret not doing it. The movie was ‘Repo Man,’ and the director was Alex Cox, who also went on to make ‘Sid and Nancy,’ which was an amazing film. As you can see by my resume, I’ve pretty much done everything I was offered. David Magazine: You’ve done very well as a professional poker player. Why do you do it? Jennifer: I have won over $600,000 in tournament davidatlanta 29

is
rico como él había dicho. Se recostó a mi lado y respiraba profundo, cansado, yo no entendía porqué. -Ay pinche chamaco, me hiciste venir bien rico. Pasaron un par de minutos y vi como su pene regresó a su flacides. -¿Quieres escupir el semen también? -¿Qué es eso? -No te preocupes, vas a ver que te gusta. Desconfiando un poco pues la última vez que dijo eso realmente no me gustó como pensé, le dije que sí. -Sientate. Ten esta crema, ponte mucha en tu pene y agitatelo como me lo hiciste a mi. Tomé la crema, me embarré el pene de ella y comencé a masturbarme, sentía muy rico, algo que nunca había sentido, tanto que insitintibamente cerré los ojos. -Te esta gustando ¿verdad mijo? -Sí. -Pues jalatela más rápido y vas a sentir primero raro, luego como que quieres hacer del baño, pero no te detengas, lo que va a pasar es que vas a escupir semem y entonces sí vas a sentir lo más rico del mundo. Me masturbé sin saber que eso que estaba haciendo se llamaba masturbación, sentía el placer de mi primer masturbación y efectivamente, comencé a sentir raro y abrí los ojos y bajé el ritmo. -No te pares, síguele que ya viene lo bueno, sin miedo. Cerré los ojos y comencé a sentir esa energia que recorre el cuerpo, me asusté y me detuve. -Así no te vas a venir. A ver, acuestate. Se acercó y tomó mi pene, lo comenzó a masturbar y no tardé casi nada en comenzar a retorcerme de placer hasta que me vine con un grito de placer. Pasaron unos segundos y abrí los ojos mientras respiraba agitadamente y sentia el cuerpo super sensible. Mi cabeza estaba en extasis y nada parecia real. -Andele mijo, vistete que no han de tardar en venir por ti...

-Mira, te voy a enseñar algo que te va a gustar, sientate acá a un lado. Me senté con él y tomó mi pene con su mano experta. Me acarició un poco y luego me masturbó rápidamente y se detuvo. -¿Qué tal? se siente rico ¿verdad? -¡Sí, bien rico! -A ver ahora hazme sentir rico Como buen camarada, tomé su pene con mi mano y lo acaricié mientras él me indicaba cómo le gustaba, despacio, luego rápido. Me pidió que le tocara los huevos, luego con una mano le acaricié los huevos y con la otra lo masturbaba. Yo estaba lleno de gusto y morbo aprendiendo algo nuevo en la vida. -Para sentir más rico, hazlo igual pero con la boca, como si fuera una paleta, pero sin los dientes. Yo sin asco y todo inocente lo hice, chupé su pene así de parado como estaba. -Ah sí mijo, se siente bien rico, no te pares, así, en la cabezita, ahora acaricia mis huevos con tu lengua y agita mi pene con la mano. Yo estaba interesado en eso pues el morbo era demasiado. -¡Esperate, esperate! Me detuve en seco y pensé que algo malo había hecho y me dijo -Mira, esto te va a gustar más, acuestate y abre la boca. Me recosté boca arriba y se puso sobre mi, se masturbó mientras lo veía gozar y no le veía el chiste, no me disgustaba pero no le encontraba lo que me iba a gustar más, hasta que me dijo, abre bien la boca y saca la lengua. Abrí la boca, saqué la lengua y acercó la punta de su pene mientras comencé a sentir chorros calientes en mi boca. -Trágatelos, tragatelos y verás que rico. Me llenó la boca de semen y al primer contacto con mi lengua me llenó un sabor realmente desconocido, raro y espeso, pero me lo tragué pensando en que dijo que me gustaría. Al final no me desagradó, pero no sentí

Horoscopes Aries Someone close will make a suggestion you may find shocking at first, but if you let it sink in, you’ll realize it’s exactly the right call. Things will just keep getting better if you stick with the plan.
SAGITTARIUS Don’t be so quick to say ‘no’ — some sweet ideas are out there, and you’ll want to pay close attention to what’s going on. Someone you’d never expect will blow you away with their idea of fun.
TAURUS You have a lot to think about. It could be your love life or something less serious, but whatever it is, you have the grey matter to tackle it. You may want to bat some ideas around with a friend.
CAPRICORN You are feeling fantastic and ready for anything from work to love and whatever happens in between. Your positive energy will keep you going all week, so if there’s a big project you want to take care of, go for it.
GEMINI You may feel pretty upset over something a friend or sweetie said — just remember, he or she didn’t intend to be mean. It’s hard to believe people can be so obtuse, but that’s just the way it is sometimes.
AQUARIUS Trust your instincts when someone close pops out an idea that sounds terrible. You don’t have to step all over their feelings, but make sure nobody goes forward with it any time soon.
CANCER If someone has been taking their time getting back to you or hasn’t quite figured out where they stand with you, give them a little longer to deal. Your patience will pay off in a big way.
PISCES You’re thinking ahead a year or more, and you like what you see. Of course, you can’t read it precisely, but you can plan for the most likely probabilities — and they look pretty good.
Leo Your people are going to be all over the map when it comes to plans at the moment, and there’s not much you can do to bring them together yet. Hear everyone out and hope for the best. VIRGO You are in the right place at the right time for a serious love connection. If you’re already seeing someone, it’s a good time to kick things up a notch. If you’re single, you’ll meet someone who blows you away. LIBRA You have a serious yearning to rearrange your life at the moment, so get busy. It can be pretty much any part of it, but if you tackle your home life first, the rest will fall into place. SCORPIO You’ll pick up the next big thing long before anyone else sees it or gets ahold of it. This could be anything from a buzzword to a new club. Whatever the case may be, you should lead the way this time. 52 davidatlanta

Bitch Session
I am so tired of the hot, butch masculine guys that I am attracted to turning out to be the biggest bottoms in the world. Serious boner dethroner.
This place steals my glitter. To the queen who works at the bank. STOP picking at your NASTY FEET. I see you everywhere with your flip flops on, and you’re always diggin’ and pickin.’ No one wants to watch that. STOP ALREADY!
Midtown…more
like
Meth-Town.
Is it browwnnn...!? Is it brown? Gay people don’t have a “let’s just be friends” speech, we just keep having sex until one of us gets a new cell phone number.
I’ve noticed something about all these guys Can you stop drinking “Diet Ugly?” Maybe complaining they can never find a “normal” your breakouts will slow down… guy to date: they’re all on hookup websites and apps. You’ll never hear me bitch about not being able to get a McFlurry at Wendy’s. Where are all the guys over 30 with jobs, their own places, no drama, and no probation who want to be in true solid partnerships in Atlanta? Oprah, please help! I don’t have a drinking problem! It goes down just fine. Just because that swimsuit looks cute on a mannequin, it does not mean it will look good on you!
My dog does a better job, and that’s without peanut butter. Drag queens have no class. None of them can sing, and when did it become “in” to have a baritone voice?
I don’t know what’s worse . . . the smells on Marta or the smells in your apartment.
No date would be complete without a quick check-in on Grindr. Door slings…for people who are still in the closet and don’t want a reason to leave it. All over my campus, straight girls have rainbow flags and “ally” buttons pinned to their bags. I never see gay students with that crap on. Maybe straight is the new gay. How postmodern.
Bottoms: Atlanta’s greatest national resource.
Re: “Now it seems all gays want to do is get married, have kids and join the military. What the heck happened?” We got out of Your face has more wrinkles than a scrotum. the pathetic, insulated “gayborhood” and discovered a whole world out there. You You expect me to believe you’re still in your 20s? Give me a break! should try it sometime.
Gotta Bitch?
