We're seeing increasingly strident unrest at many Universities/Colleges throughout the country lately, and the issue has become urgent.  

What presents as anti-"Jewish" demonstrations, is - as I see it - misplaced anger.  While the plight of the Palestinians is truly desperate and only getting worse by the day, and the perpetrators of that outrage are obviously guilty of inhumanity and worse, blaming "The Jews" is misplaced, reactionary, and poorly-thought-out - as I see it.  

The blame doesn't lie with "The Jews" - it lies with the Government of Israel, and particularly with a soulless and utterly corrupt Prime Minister, devoted only to saving his own political skin, which is a completely different issue.  He has resisted calls for elections, invents every conceivable excuse for postponing them, because he knows his "war plan" to murder as many Palestinians as possible is a crime against humanity, and not supported by a clear majority of the voting public in Israel. 

The "eye-for-an-eye" equation of antiquity has morphed, in this depraved P.M.'s limited vision, into visiting that which The Jews suffered in the last century, upon the Palestinian population, a handful of which deserve punishment, with the vast majority of these people remaining innocent of the October attack.  

I don't have any issue with students everywhere protesting the actions of the Israeli Government, steeping in it's hateful inhumanity.  I completely support Bernie Sanders in his stand against allowing one penny of US funds to be used in any way to further this atrocity against men, women, children, babies, that have in no way injured the State of Israel.  I well remember the anti-war demonstrations of the last enormous folly of US foreign policy, (when the Draft-Dodger-in-Chief's father hired a quack doctor to diagnose his worthless p.o.s. son with "bone spurs").  That greasy-headed McNamara, with his policy of "containment" is worthy only of contempt, and Westmoreland should have refused to carry out his President's orders, including the "carpet-bombing" of neighboring non-combatant countries. We're seeing parallel examples of misguided and tragic policies today in the Levant, by an equally depraved PM.

Making this distinction clear - "Jews" vs the Israeli Government - is critical to the US as well, since it is the US who is Israel's chief ally.  Anything else is nothing less than hideously Hitler-esque, and could cost a kind and decent man his re-election.  

Are there any Jewish people or organizations speaking out against the Israeli government?

I’m not a republican but I get accused of being one all the time. 
 

After I told this man at a bar who was clearly interested in me I didn’t want to talk politics, he insisted. After I refused to give my unwavering suppprt to either party, he made up the excuse he had to use the restroom and left 🤣

I met a guy on sniffles several weeks ago . He claimed he was 100% straight. Then he asked to come over 

When he arrived he gave me a deep tongue kiss while feeling my ass. He proceeded to pull down my pants as he pulled down his. In no time he had his bare dick in my ass fucking me hard He then shot his load deep in me.

He then went on to say he was 100% straight 
He is a little in self denial Any comments 

Words have no meaning anymore. And when it comes to straight identifying men, the gay community will accept anything, no matter how outrageous or how tall the tale.

Yeah, doctors in rural southwest Georgia have no clue about PrEP or gay sex. One is better off going to see a doctor in Atlanta or maybe Tallahassee.

OK, maybe my point about the doctors was regional. But still the algorithms? I see Prep/doxy ads on my streaming services regularly 

So there is this guy on Sniffies who claims to be under 30 who enjoys berating people locally who bareback. “Haven’t you guys learned anything from the 80s?” He says. Or “Lol if BB is in your profile, no wonder your poz!”

This guy must be lying about his age because  just have a hard time believing in the day of algorithms and personalized advertising, a gay man had never heard of prep or doxy. Even if a doctor sees your gay in your chart, most will discuss it with you. 

This is not a rant against condoms as I still use them if the occasion calls. I trust condoms still more than prep. But I don’t understand the guys (pretending) that being ignorant to the latest trends in medicine makes them qualified to chastise the rest of the community on a public forum. 
 

Thoughts? 

So we have this bartender at a local gay dive bar who apparently decided it’s okay to add a “surcharge” to certain patrons drinks. I don’t think it’s racially motivated, I just think it’s the typical above average gay guy who thinks being a dick somehow elevates him. I try to avoid his shifts, but sometimes he’s there coving for another bartender.

Regardless of his intentions, rather than confront him, I’ve just decided to not tip him. A friend of mine says if it bothered me that much, I should complain to the manager. I doubt the manager or owner would do anything, and could say I was a trouble maker. so this is my “passive aggressive” way to handle it.

Any advice or antidotes would be great!

Apparently not.

Is this sort of like the Biden thing where “ if I don’t vote for him I’m not Black?” I don’t think as a Latino you’re qualified to make that judgment

Yeah, because as a black person, I have no clue what’s going on in my community🤣

Currently we're seeing Veep Harris being unleashed, on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday at the yet-un-renamed Edmund Pettis bridge.  One admirable quality the Veep possesses, which the President does not, is the willingness to get bluntly tough - unmistakable - in delivering a thinly-veiled warning message.  Apparently shortly, the US Navy will begin delivering crucially needed supplies directly to the Gazan seacoast.  The airdrops of the most basic necessities of maintaining life are better than merely words, but once the Navy starts delivering shiploads of food / medical supplies, the relief of the tragedy suffered by the Palestinians can be substantially addressed, and despite the narrow self-centeredness of the PM of Israel.  

While I would have rather heard the threating language from the President's mouth directly, I'll take it from Harris' mouth too, and she's better equipped to deliver a kick to Netanyahu's balls anyway.  It's not 'about time' - it's past time for this humanitarian message. 

The President didn't neglect to make his own statement however, hosting Nettie's chief political opponent - Benny Gantz - without so much as mentioning the Prime Minister of Israel.  That would be as substantial a kick in Nettie's balls as we'll get from the President; in any case, it was definitely a double-barreled "shot across the bow" to said Prime Minister. 

TODAY is Super Tuesday - primaries in many States are taking place today, and I hope every one of us that can, makes his voice heard by voting today.  

That was an absolutely disgusting and villainess display by Kamala Harris. Using the trauma and events that happened to Black people to signal boost someone else’s struggle. She wouldn’t dare go to a Holocaust museum and speak about black peoples interest.
 

And these are the kind of disrespectful actions that are going to keep black voters at home in November

Decided to hit up the local bookstore which has been absolutely horrific since the pandemic. A bunch a regulars standing wrong waiting to give you fully clothed head until completion. Not my thing.

I walk in and there is this tall, curly hair,  strapping mid twenties guy with it construction pants down jacking off. I walk over and he seems receptive. I move my finger to his ass and he rest his head on my shoulder and lets out a submissive whimper. My lucky day!

I guide him to a hair a chair and he pulls his pants own to his construction boots. Not only is this boys underarms ripe, his crotch smelled like a hard days work. Absolutely intoxicating. Made me hard as a rock. After a brief BJ, I slid into this boys surprisingly clean hole. With each thrust in this tall stud, I feel he lets out a more submissive groan. Finally his ass was too much and I literally feel myself squirt in him. I smack him in the ass, and go in my way, spent and satisfied.

What made it hotter is this is a blue collar guy no one would ever think had a gay bone in his body. And here he is unashamedly looking for dick in an ABS after work. 

Man I love the prep era! These younger guys are so much fun!

If that's the criterion we're going to use for racism - giving a eulogy for someone who was a friend, even if he differed dramatically from you politically (and bear in mind, Thurmond joined the Republican Party in 1964, at the very bleeding edge of racist white flight from the Democrats), then there's an awful lot of today's Republicans who need to be labeled racist - because they go a lot farther than giving such a eulogy. And yet you seem happy to lick their boots for some reason.

1. You’re assuming I am a Republican, which I’m not. I’ve already pointed out the blatant racism in the Republican party. Apparently you’re perfectly fine overlooking the racism of the Democratic Party as long as it means them getting in power.

2. Yes befriending and giving the eulogy for a Klan Member should be a barometer, for racism. Racism and segregation isn’t simply a “political” difference. If a man was a friend to a Nazi no one would dare say it’s OK They just have a “political difference.”

The problem with most Democrats is that they feel casual racism is OK as long as it does not get in the way of their desire for power. So they may not like the racism, but they feel that it gets in the way and they are more pressing needs that need to be addressed.

I'm all for pushing politicians to do better. But we won't GET politicians who do better if we keep letting the racist, misogynistic, homophobic right win elections simply because we fail to sufficiently support the only real alternative to that. 

I would call giving the eulogy for Strom Thurman, a stun crow segregationist and then the affiliated with the Klan, pretty racist, but hey that’s just me.

As I say, over and over and over, voting is not electoral masturbation….Sadly, though, not all voters think like this. Too many think that their vote has to be courted, and if the two major candidates don't kiss their ass enough, they just won't vote. They're the ones who, as I call it, love electoral masturbation. 

Voting without demanding anything is political masturbation. Politics is the science of determining how resources will be allocated. 
 

Voting by itself is a symbolic act. The purpose of voting is to determine how resources will be allocated. Yes, I expect my vote to be courted. And if you will not be allocating resources to me, or my group, then I will not be voting for you. You will not receive my vote (which is an endorsement of you being in power) so you can benefit others without benefiting me also.

And fortunately, many more black voters, particularly male, are thinking, just like me. We will no longer be told what our issues should be or debate about them. we know what is best for communities and what harms our communities. And if you are candidate who chooses to practice outright racism, or benign neglect that’s fine. If both parties choose to do so, we will vote for neither. Many of us are no longer interested in being political slaves, meaning voting to get people in power, and getting nothing out of it.

instead of shaming people for not voting, why not shame the politicians for not offering anything for that voting block?

BBC's have radios. Now that's woke!

But seriously its racial injustice as experienced by black people.

White liberals co-opted the term.

Happy Black History Month!

 

Preach!!

Maybe in the straight community. But Gen-X killed off the sexuality in the gay community. 

Apologies, I didn’t see a topic about this already posted

Sorry I posted another topic about this and I didn’t see this topic!!

I found this to be an unnecessarily “sassy” response especially when you have paying members. This, along with some of the other complaints and concerns members on this site have addressed, Perfectly explains why this site is going down the tubes fast

I don’t know why so many of these types of businesses show a distain and an open contempt for their customer base

Is moving out an option? 

Just this past week thins Gypsy looking kid with blonde dreads comes up to me at the gas station and asks for $10. I give it to him and told him “the only reason I’m giving this to you is because you’re cute.” He responds “oh I’m straight.”

I come out of the gas station and he asks me if I have a couple more dollars. I say “gay guys get a full tank, straight guys get $10.” I get in my car and drive off. 
 

I don’t feel bad or like I was taking advantage of him. Putting aside the fact that I don’t believe a young Gypsy drifter kid with blonde hair has never naked with another guy, I felt I was generous enough giving him $10. Anything else was going to cost him.

I can speak for San Francisco Cumunion. Everything changed with the change from 442 natoma to the new 1060 Folsom location. 

The new location is just not great: too sparse, and toilets are never working properly: god save you if you need to pee/shit or else.. There's no ass cleaning stations so people are mostly left to clean out at home. I've been there a few times with people not cleaned out properly and causing messes that may or may not be dealt with. The whole scene is sad and tragic and pushes good valuable people from coming back. Folks populating this space are often fully dressed weirdos that walk back if you try to touch them.. and often people struggle to make a connection these days. Nothing like the good ol' 442 natoma days.  

I'm lucky enough to be able to go to parties like these in Europe and the difference is SO dramatic:  For starters there's no need for a specific event because men are going out weekly to fuck.  Most cruise places have proper cleaning toilets/stations. Like come on guys, people come here to fuck: it's just a hose and a stall. People will clean out at the venue with no hangups. A place like Barcelona has 5 ongoing parties thrus to sun, every day. This makes a whole crowd of people to come out and have fun all the time. Same with Paris, Berlin, GC, Torre...

San Francisco lost the intertia and the art of cruising long ago and it ain't coming back with crap places like 1060 Folsom. That said, there are glimmers or hope. the guys at Truck are really trying and some of their 'truck tuesdays' have really stuck the landing. They just need a lot more consistency in the schedule and place.

I remember those first parties that were on Folsom across from the Gultch Bookstore. Epic!

I would have assumed by your presence on this board that you are also a member of another group - presumably, bi or gay men - who also have faced rampant discrimination in the workplace.

Of course, you don't mention whether you're out or not, which can make a huge difference. If you're not out, and you're conventionally masculine enough to "pass" for straight, then it's possible your membership in this second group hasn't affected you, just like very light-skinned black people who could "pass" as Hispanic or otherwise didn't always directly experience racism against their race (except, of course, when divulging race was required for legal purposes, like registering to vote, etc.). But I don't think being able to "pass" ought to be a determinant of whether one cares about discrimination, particular discrimination that would be levied against oneself if it were publicly known.

And I'll note that while racial discrimination still occurs, it's very clearly NOT allowed, legally, in all sorts of situations. On the other hand, discrimination against gay people is still not barred, nationally; it's prohibited in employment, now, but the Supreme Court has been carving out "religious exemptions" on the basis of sexual orientation repeatedly in the last few years. It's quite possible that they'd do the same if a housing discrimination case reached them, for example.

By contrast, the Supreme Court has expressly held that there is no religious freedom exemption that allows for racial discrimination, period. 

I don’t believe giving equal remedy to everyone, regardless of how they have been harmed, create equality. After  the dust has all settled do you still have the same discriminatory system. And this is why I do not believe in DEI programs, because they are not transparent About who they are targeted to help specifically. I believe all people should be equal, but I am going to advocate for my group 1st.

as far as being black, and in an LGBT community, that is intersectionality , which I do not agree with. I have seen too many times were Black people who are also LGBT are left as mascots in the fight for gay equality. Meaning they get to be the spokesperson and then watch as their white counterpart get all the benefits. This is something I personally observed in the workplace. that’s why I believe in my advocate and support Black people, black LGBT people are also included in all the Black people. Again, this does not mean I don’t believe LGBT people should not be given equal because they should.

I caught on to the game.

@BlackDude Your DEI list excludes:

99. A black man

 

No, it’s usually a black woman (who’s married to or dating someone white) that has distain for black men and/or the black community.

The sense I'm getting from your posts about this - and please, correct me if I'm wrong - is that the only people who should be helped by DEI programs are Black people.

Slavery was not holistic. The black codes were not holistic. Sundown towns were not holistic. Red lining was not holistic. Jim Crowe was not holistic. It was specific, and targeted.
 

That’s  why, As a black person, I’m going to look at any equity or reparative policy and see how it affects my group first.  Because the Harm was not equitable. And history has shown us (and the link to the UT DEI director’s page) that the premise of many of these DEI programs is that the issues of the most discriminated group in the country has needs that are no more pressing or important than anyone else’s. And I don’t agree with that premise. 

If women, Muslim, LGBT and other groups want to advocate for DEI groups that benefit them, that’s fine. They should! But I’m not going to advocate for any policy that tells me giving groups who are the majority additional resources and benefits is somehow equity. 

So I have had this idea for a while that I wanted to set up a bear group for play about once a month and a hotel. The problem is, I am afraid of it not being a success. I know there is no guarantees, but what do you guys suggest to make this venture successful and fun? 
 

thanks for any advice or tips!
