Good God, we eat our own, don't we? We're worse than crocodiles.

Why the hostility toward Black? He's been a tireless worker in favor of gay rights and was quite moving on MSNBC last night talking about his gay older brother who didn't live to see DOMA struck down.

Dustin Lance Black is ****ing hot. I don't care that there's pictures of him barebacking. In fact, I appreciate it.

I didn't nominate Black for the Ten Best Dressed List (though I think that shot was to make a political point). I said he is to be commended for his political commitment.

ETA as Kad has brought to my attention, I got confused as to who was responding to whom.

Never mind.

I think that post was in response to Bettyboy.

I would assume. Since it makes no sense as a response to yours.

Got it, thanks. That does make more sense, Kad.

That shirt is part of a fundraising campaign for GAY YOUTH.

There's no need to be needlessly nasty when someone is raising money for such a good cause.
