IT MAKES YOU GAY.
George Will is standing up for America's diminishing masculinity:
Asked for a "final thought" on the president's speech last night, conservative columnist George WIll chose to focus on the fact that Obama was able to wrap his arms around another man, in friendship. "I don't know when men started to hug each other, but hug they do, and look at that," he said.Well I don't know when it started, but it needs to stop. Don't people know that men hugging other men puts you on the lonely path to sin?

The brawny George Will is, of course, the very paragon of the manly man.

Thank you, Farinata X, for saying it, because I wa feeling very petty while suppressing a giggle thinking about George Will and masculinity.

Can anyone ever imagine putting their arm around George Will? Such a bitter, brittle tight a** who dons a bow tie. Ultra creepy!

Why are so many Americans such tight-assed, hypocritical, homophobic jerks acting like wannabe 12-year-old virgins terrified of their own sexuality and male-male intimacy? You won't find such wimpish, chicken-assed behavior on the part of heterosexual males in other cultures. It takes guts, a real man, to chuck convention and tell bigots just where they can go. As Jean Genet noted: "For a man to have sex with another man is to become doubly a man." My few cents worth. P.S. Shrub is the LAST person on earth I'd wanna hug, though.
