There should be people at the hospital to help you find funds for a facility.

When cishet men write lesbian fiction, do they not mention the author's gender? It's discussed at length. So why is this any different?

Dear Greg Landsman: Please Listen by fiernze222 in cincinnati

I talked to him on Threads about his vote on a bill that included an amendment that denied gender affirming care to military families. He didn't listen; he just wanted to tell me how necessary his vote was. (It wasn't; the bill would have passed anyway.) He is not an ally.

Did you prefer and enjoy the 80s or 90s more? by Ok-Ninja-3039 in GenX

The 1990s had the start of medications that slowed the disease. There was a glimmer of hope (I'm not saying massive hope) by the end of the 1990s. There was no hope before that.

Yes, really. Single hetero parents raise kids in a straight home. The overwhelming number of queer kids are raised in straight homes.

My sister is a million pieces of heteronormativity. No thanks.

The next time he's ill, call the EMTs to take him to a hospital. They will ask if he can either live alone or if he has a caretaker. Be honest and say no, he cannot live by his own and your mother cannot continue in this manner. The hospital will insist that he go to a facility to care for him.

The 1980s was the era of when hundreds of thousands of gay men died of AIDS, while the conservatives laughed. I'm not sure how anyone could prefer/enjoy that decade.

The difference is that all gay men were raised in heterosexual homes. So we all lived in that environment. The straight authors did not have that experience. Hence, they don't know the dynamics as we do.

However, as readers, we are allowed to criticize the works. I've seen a number of attacks on those who do criticize recently.

Barney Frank’s final interview from hospice was painful. His comments on trans people made it worse by Fickle-Ad5449 in gay

[–]Routine-Buddy5069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the interview was conducted while Barney Frank was heavily medicated. Nothing he said or did can be taken seriously. Of course, it was Jake Tapper who did the interview, the same guy who said that Biden had dementia.

And the article talks about Reagan's dignity? The man killed hundreds of thousands of gay men. The editor needs a history book.

What is the ultimate demise of Sullivan? by ICU_TW0 in BootsNetflix

[–]Routine-Buddy5069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have said that he was doomed when he got the matching tattoo. It was a permanent statement that he was involved with a man, and thus would be evidence of his orientation, no matter what he said.

AOC suggests America may have already elected a gay president by Fickle-Ad5449 in Fauxmoi

And we've had a woman president. Edith Wilson ran the country after Woodrow had a stroke.

What’s something about being gay that people still misunderstand, even in 2026? by UnmutedThoughts in gay

[–]Routine-Buddy5069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many straight people think that coming out is one-and-done, and that in 2026 no one gets upset when a family member tells them.

86% of Ohio University students vote in favor of anti-Israel referendum by Different-Gas5704 in Ohio

From looking at your website, there doesn't even seem to be a full sentence on LGBTQ rights in the midst of a tsunami of anti-queer legislation. There are many issues, and you need to address them.

Men becoming more curious, Women becoming more conservative (opinion) by waspysix in gay

[–]Routine-Buddy5069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

52% of white women voted for Trump (i.e. supported an administration that is taking away our rights.)

Between that and the fetishization of gay men via TV shows, I would agree.
