Rand Paul exist only to bash other people and rights, and to enhance their own wealth. They are worthies in terms of betterment of the country.

(1,185 posts)unless there is some problem with your impression of gay. In San Francisco, they'd smile at you and agree with me. It's called "Gaydar".
FFS what is wrong with you? I have 2 gay relatives. They looked, acted and were gay (they didn't choose it) before they went to kindergarten. No one but me noticed or supported them until they were approaching 30 years old. Idiot. Gay is not bad. Repeat after me...gay is not bad. But when some pretty boy who looks (and acts) gay comes out and bashes gay...busted. President Obama is not gay. He is for gay rights. I am not gay but I am for gay rights. Gay is no different from hetero. Get over it.
It's the RWers who are "enhancing their own wealth" or whatever else you were trying to say. Not sure what "worthies" are.
I taught gay kids in school. They are delightful. Don't lecture me or emote about what an insult it is to say someone looks gay...evah !
Oh, and it's a "she".

You know, it just took a couple of very simple conversations and he understood and started correcting his friends. Two of his cousins are gay and he just hadn't made the connection.
Then they realized what they sounded like to the kids in their high school who were gay. It was one of those Teachable Moments.
