Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It shouldn't be.

Unfortunately everyone is trying to make it political which just restricts gay ppl and damages politics in a brand new.

If being gay was just a trait again, we could skip a lot of this circus. But until then, honk honk.

The people "trying to make it political" are the ones who want it to go away - ie, the bigots, who somehow always seem to be on the right wing. Everyone else has to push back because failing to do so means bending to the will of the bigots.

If you want it to stop being political, your energy should be directed against conservatives who keep trying to put people into arbitrary boxes and keep them there.

Yes, thank you. Really surprised to see only one comment saying this.

There are two sexualities: straight and political.

How do you figure that? Do you say the same about races too or?
