I have changed my avatar to a big ole queer pink triangle

[LostinVA]

Due to the current unpleasantness, I feel the need to proclaim an intrinsic and normal part of myself to any and all posters and lurkers.

Hugs, kisses, and thanks to all straight DUers who have recently changed their avatars to gay-themed images. I love you all.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. About time!

I was REALLY beginning to think you were a freeper. :hi:

[LostinVA]

11. Maybe I just changed to a gay symbol to throw you off track!

[buddhamama]

2. please don't take offense

if i keep the one i have; i've used it for yrs.

I support Human Rights and Equality for All !

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. That is a gay symbol.

The Human Rights Campaign is a gay rights organization.

[buddhamama]

8. yes, i know

i have been a member for yrs. some people might not recognize it as such though. the ones who don't already view "Gay Rights" as a Human Rights issue won't. :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. Ah, okay.

You see, I have a straight friend who had a rainbow sticker on her subaru (most lesbian car ever) and had no clue it was a gay thing. She just liked it. Once I explained it, she was like, "oh...well, that would explain why random women wave to me when I'm driving."

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. ...

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. After that, I used to fuck with her over that all the time.

We worked together and I used to stick a rainbow button on her jacket or bag and see how long it would take her to notice. Sometimes it'd be a few days. Then, invariably the button would go whizzing past my head and she'd call me a "jackass," but say she loved me anyway.

16. My Dad is always getting flirted with in locker rooms and clothing stores

And, trust me, he is soooo not gay. I told him he needs to quit dressing so nicely.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. My ex-gf's mom likes to tell me the story about the time she accidentally

went on a date with a woman. She apparently had been recently divorced and had headed the committee at the Unitarian Church to create a "womyn's space." Anyway, a bunch of her friends were (and are) lesbians. She went out to dinner with one and she said it became clear halfway through that the woman thought they were on a date. Once it was cleared up that she was straight and thought it was a friendly thing, things were okay though. In the defense of the lesbian, my ex-gf's mom seems like she should be a dyke, but she's into men.

Now she's married to a guy who seems like he should be gay with his impecible fashion sense and perfectly slim body. I always joke that they're the gayest straight couple I know.

29. Something similar happened to my father, brother and uncle when

they went to my other uncle's memorial service. My (surviving) uncle was a lt. col. in the Air Force. After the memorial service there was a lunch. The majority of my uncle's friends were gay. In the pictures that they took it appears that my father, my brother and my uncle had paired off, each with one of my uncle's friends. We had so much fun teasing my AF uncle that he actually became fearful of the photograph finding its way into the wrong CO's hands.

24. i have a friend

who bought a used car from someone and it was covered in rainbow stickers, etc.

the guy my friend bought the car from offered to help remove them before purchase.

my friend declined the offer. he is hetero, btw. he frankly didn't care if people thought he was Gay. Like your friend, he received a lot of waves.

[LostinVA]

10. No, no offense taken at all!

[Guava Jelly]

3. wait a minute!! are you gay??

:hi: :rofl:

[LostinVA]

13. I decided to finally come out!

I know YOU'RE an honorary kebisan... you big old queer.

[Guava Jelly]

19. I'm a straight Queer YAY!!!

:)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. Kebisan? What the fuck is that?

[LostinVA]

26. It's a "kewl lesbian"

[Bassic]

4. And the more power to ya LostinVa!

Someday, we'll all win the civil rights battle. And I for one am a heterosexual white male who's rootin' for Gays, Women and "other races" (I really don't like that term)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Same here. Thanks to all supportive straight DUers!

:yourock:

I will go back to my HST avatar and signature when people regain their sanity or something. Until then, I will have a totally queer avatar and sigline, since I'm a total queer.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Good luck with that and all...

Meaning "people regain their sanity" of course. The thread you pointed out stunned me when I saw who the poster was...and the fact that it has K&R's on it.

I changed my avatar last summer because, thanks to people like you, it has become apparent equal rights is just a term not something people are willing to work for. I've got your back. Plus, the avatar messes with people's minds. I like messing with people's minds.

[LostinVA]

14. I like to think you're secretly in love with me

Since all we gay folks think about is sex.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I'm sometimes afraid to respond to your posts...

Because I don't want to give you the wrong idea... :rofl: :yourock:

[LostinVA]

17. Hmmm... I've been wondering about that

Hopefully the kid won't read these posts and think you're serious... I don't want MrG coming after me!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Oh...MrG...he's nothing to worry about.

:D Except, a few months ago, he caught a glimpse of my profile and walked around in a daze saying, "38,000 posts...38,000 posts...what the hell can you find to post about?"

[LostinVA]

27. That's what I hear, too, when I say stuff like," I just broke 15,000 posts!"

[Midlodemocrat]

43. Why, yes. You are a total queer!!!!!

I changed my avatar and I won't change it back until all that shit stirring stops. Even then, I might not.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

45. Thank you.

:yourock:

[terrya]

21. I like the classic rainbow flag myself.

Of course I'm gay, but...

:-)

Thanks.

[Call Me Wesley]

28. I like my avatar way too much to change it,

but I added my support into my sig pic. I had the rainbow there for a long time before, like Heidi still does. :hi:

[LostinVA]

33. Thanks, CMW!

[Call Me Wesley]

39. You're welcome.

At least we have equal rights here. Not the marriage yet, but the equal partnership, which means you can live with your same sex partner and be protected through insurances and stuff equally. The next fight is the right for adopting; but we're on it and we'll win it, because we already made it an issue worth fighting for - not waiting for the 'time to come' to chime in when the clock gets stuck. There's no way around it. It might take some time to achieve the ultimate goal, but hey, we're the ones setting the clock at least. It will not fall in our hands out of mysterious clouds ...

[LynneSin]

30. I'd change mine but Robert Plant is more important to me

but you know I'm supporting you folks 110%

[LostinVA]

34. Robert Plant is more important than gay rights?!

OMG... I WAS right...



:cry:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

36. She's not only insensitive, but flat-out weird...she thinks this pic is hot

[LostinVA]

37. OMG

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. I'm not joking.

She really finds that picture attractive. I keep it in my photobucket account, so I can bring it out just for her.

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. Between you and me and the fencepost and 70 some thousand

other DUers... I have finally seen something that might actually "turn me gay"... :puke: That is a horrid horrid little picture.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. Quick look at MrGrumpy or you might be lost forever!

[HughBeaumont]

41. Hey hey grandma, said the way you move

Gonna make you sweat
Gonna make you groove!

[supernova]

31. I added the flag to my sig

I kept my avatar because, well, we are all star stuff. :loveya:

I do support human rights, which including rights for gays, and I think the decision yesterday was a good step in the right direction.

[RetroLounge]

32. I replaced my Wisconsin Avatar

and if this state votes in favor of the ballot initiative adding a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and domestic partnerships om Nov 7th, I will never use that avatar again, and I will renounce my Wisconsin citizenship (can one do that?) and go back to saying I am not from here, I am from Chicago (which is the truth).

So rock-on New Jersey!

:hug:

RL

[LostinVA]

35. Yay RL!!!

[Puglover]

47. You aren quite a guy RL! n/t
