Obviously your feelings and opinion aren’t wrong. But, unless I’ve missed something, Laura isn’t your parent, sibling, best friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, or husband. So taking it personally is perhaps misguided.
You should be able to move on from this without it being a big deal. Because for you (and me, and probably everyone in this thread) it isn’t a big deal.
No one is saying “You can’t ask these questions!” Ask away. But every single one of these comments is the opinion of the person writing it, and as much as anyone has a right to question, anyone else has a right to answer. It’s internet discourse – something you all seem really god at, so let’s all just fucking chill and roll with the punches and have a heated conversation and we’ll all be better for it in the end.
Meh – what are you going to do.
Also, Pete Burns from Dead or Alive.
You don’t HAVE to say “YAY,” unless you feel happy about it. But what about objective reporting of facts? I suppose that’s not entirely why people flock to stereogum, but if your opinion may muddle up the writing, why put it (your opinion) in the article at all?
Anyone thinking about how this affects THEM should maybe not be so worried about it. You are probably the last person on Laura’s mind right now.
That is really selfish of you.
Yeah that line in the article bothered me as well. Very condescending.
Seriously.
You people wouldn’t know good Mado-medy if it bit you in the tits.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait WAIT! Back the boat – UP! Where’s the cover of “Get Together” I do in my head in drag AND the cover I did of “That Song From Evita” in the shower this morning?
I would venture a guess that Skrillex has more female fans than James Blake because James Blake made that pretty sexist comment about women not being able to like loud, bass-y dubstep.
Probably a little too clever. They really need their signs to say “fags” and “faggots” or it just isn’t a WBC function. But I would settle for a shirt that says “Faggot Queen”. “Queen of Queens” is too sapphic for my M4M leanings.
I kind of want a “Queen of Fags” shirt.
This song is really great. The whole album is, in fact. But this is one of my favorites.
men are pigs.
You’re projecting. I’m sorry we disagree.
STRAIGHT GUILT IS SO HARD – seriously all I can say is we disagree.
And I don’t know how many times I can agree with you that I don’t know you and I still respect our opinion, but as you keep saying things I’m starting to lose respect for that opinion because you seem to not be listening to what I’m saying.
Making an example of? To whom, exactly? The stereogum commenters? They haven’t cared about this since people stopped talking about Bon Iver and Lana del Rey. You and I are probably the only ones actively commenting on this anymore.
Stop saying “no homo” and maybe I’ll believe you. We’re clearly at an impasse – and I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. Such is life. Please don’t be upset by my opinion. I’m one sad lonely person that disagrees with you. I still respect your opinion as a person.
I still don’t see it.
I should say, “I don’t care about your sexual orientation either way.” I do, in fact, care about this conversation.
Michael_ – firstly I don’t care either way. Secondly, what a lot of people fail to realize (through no fault of their own) is that there exists a “straight assumption” – chances are people think you’re straight unless you tell them otherwise. That’s why homosexuals and other queer people have to come out of the closet: straight until proven gay essentially.
It’s good that your open-minded, but to base any sort of pride on a comment that includes the term “no homo” – well you’re not winning any points with me. Not losing any, but not winning any either.
And frankly, as a gay man (maybe you assumed I was straight, though not likely given the nature of this and the last comment I made) sometimes I get tired of patting straight guys on the back for being accepting of my lifestyle. In my mind it’s the equivalent of congratulating a teenager for being potty-trained and not shitting on the floor. At some point you have to accept the fact that these enlightened sensibilities are just the right thing to have.
Maybe that doesn’t make sense, but I just woke up. Either way, I was criticizing your use of “no homo”, but not you as a person because I don’t know you as a person. I’m sure you’re a very sweet and nice guy.
If you’re comfortable with enough with your sexuality, you wouldn’t need to preface (or end, or stick in the middle) any sort of qualifier. Why do you care if people think you’re gay?
It’s nothing of what I like about him.
But maybe this goes to show how all-over-the-place he is? Like, “Love What Happened Here” (from what I remember) was good, and this sounds nothing like it. And neither of them sound like anything off of “Enough Thunder”.
I don’t know, maybe he should just spend six months working on six song EPs for the rest of his musical career.
Not trolling here: because it’s fresh in everyone’s mind and not only did it ban same-sex marriages, but civil unions and domestic partnerships for those in same-sex partnerships AND heterosexual ones. The feeling is that NC voters were either mislead, misinformed, ill-informed, or just so staunch in their feelings about traditional marriage that they (potentially unknowingly) hurt themselves.
