Cycling StuMy husband has discovered that Sam Altman is gay, and wants to reject him from the collective and pass him off to the straights
I’m also sympathetic towards this idea
tripleman, a 🇨🇦 in 🇩🇪
Kevin Karhan@stufromoz true, true…
OV Dragonman@stufromoz I'm noy gay, but I feel the same way. It has taken 75 years for me to become a pissed off, cranky old (Dragon)man!
Daniel Reeders@stufromoz oh, not keen on this take. HIV and homophobic violence both selectively took out the screaming queens. the nice queers were staying home, going to circle jerks and wearing condoms.
@onekind it’s probably also more accurate in the USA..
@stufromoz oh nahhh. David Wojnarovicz and Keith Haring and JM Basquiat were all horrifically toxic people. we shouldn't look at Larry Kramer and assume only the tough bitches survived. Larry is bitch enough for 10,000 people. he is an outlier and should not be considered.
@onekind Larry probably ensured many people survived, some just to spite him
@stufromoz HAH. good line.
Cairo Braga@onekind @stufromoz well, as a survivor of a homophobic murder attempt and partner to a positHIVe person, both of us being widely recognized as "nice" in our social circles, I think your take, Daniel, reeks of shame, internalized homophobia and false morality. 😡
@cairobraga @stufromoz Yeah so my point is that the nice people didn't die quicker or sooner of AIDS or homophobic violence, and the examples you're giving actually support my argument. I've also been gaybashed, on multiple occasions, and I've been working in HIV positive health promotion for 21 years. You failed to detect dark humour, which happens, I get it, especially when you have a strong emotional response to the topic. But you picked the wrong person to try and headkick. I'm not one of the nice ones myself and I do not give one single fuck about your opinion.
@onekind @stufromoz I apologize, then. I did take it seriously.
@cairobraga @stufromoz Thanks for the apology and I also apologise for not better flagging my tone of voice when talking about sensitive topics.
Aral Balkan@stufromoz Love it :)

“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.” – Naomi Shulman
@aral oh yes. The nice people who never upset anyone who end up being the worst enablers
lorax b. horne 🍉@stufromoz Meakoopa (Anthony) is one of the people I miss from Twitter the MOST.
Herzleid@bbhorne @stufromoz Was about to say the exact same thing. 💔
