It is a pair of males barely past puberty BlueStreak Dec 2013 #28

Again. Perhaps you should read the article. 29 years old = barely past puberty. Glassunion Dec 2013 #44

You have no idea what you are talking about. BlueStreak Dec 2013 #47

I have no idea what I'm talking about? You never took time to read the article. Glassunion Dec 2013 #48

How is it obvious they did something? vaberella Dec 2013 #52

Re: the boys, I take your point. BlueStreak Dec 2013 #56

The writer didn't do go into those details...that doesn't mean it didn't happen. vaberella Dec 2013 #58

I agree, very ugly. Rex Dec 2013 #42

I disagree with Bluestreak, but accusing him or her of this sort of racism is itself ugly. Vattel Dec 2013 #51

I don't think they accused the poster of racism as so much perpetuating racist ideas. vaberella Dec 2013 #54

Oh, so now we're turning a thread about racial outrage into a gay stereotyping thread? BlueStreak Dec 2013 #64
