Hot, steamy, Cleveland DUer love!

[Beware the Beast Man]

[XemaSab]

1. That's you and who???

But yeah, that looks pretty steamy.... at least by California meetup standards.

[asthmaticeog]

2. MANFLESH!

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. You look so...timid...

[asthmaticeog]

7. I was caught WAY off-guard.

"Oh, it seems Hedges is kissing me. Uh, OK"

You at least had prep-time.

[terrya]

17. As well as this pic...wow!

Man, am I glad pics were taken of that special moment...

[GirlinContempt]

35. HOW did I miss that one?

Luscious

If I only was a dude :cry:

[RetroLounge]

4. Hey, can someone pass the Hedges?

:shrug:

RL

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Cleveland Steamers?

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. Oh, damn...

:spray: I didn't word that too well, did I?

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Nope. Left yourself wide open for that one!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

9. Awww..you're just jealous

Forrest didn't have to get drunk to kiss me ;)

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. We were stone sober.

[redqueen]

11. Oh now you done it.

I'm gettin all excited.

[swag]

12. Got any wood?

[asthmaticeog]

14. Got some Wallace Wood.

Not quite as good as hot manlove, though. :cry:

[GirlinContempt]

33. Project much?

;)

[Doctor_J]

13. Hey, that's Herschel Yatovitz,

my guitar hero, with the goatee. I'm glad to see that he's found love. Or at least it looks like herschel. But he lives in California.

[Yavin4]

15. Look At What "BrokeBack Mountain" Is Doing To Us

Fundies told y'all that we turn Gay after that movie.

[terrya]

16. I NEVER get tired of seeing that pic

That's a classic....ah, the joys of steamy man on man action....brings joy to me, I tell ya!

I think we should keep this thread kicked....

[asthmaticeog]

18. I enthusiastically agree. KICK!

[progmom]

19. uh huh!

[eyesroll]

20. It frightens me that hedges has kissed more men than I have since our

split...:scared:

[dolo amber]

21. That's not quite true

I seem to remember something about an ugly guy in a bar... :D

[eyesroll]

22. Oh, I'm including him...

Unless I'm forgetting men I've kissed or misremembering men he's kissed, I still think hedges is ahead.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. I think pictures of two men kissing and posted for "shock" value

are actually mocking gay people as though it is a subject of ridicule.

If these were truly taken out of a sincere show of love and affection, then I withdraw that statement.

If they were taken and posted as a "joke", then that's actually a pretty homophobic statement parading as something else.

[Beware the Beast Man]

26. Oh, for fuck's sake.

That is the most hyperbolic statement I have ever, ever, EVER heard. There was no "agenda." Yeah, hedges and I hate fags. That's why we're friends with so many of them. :eyes:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

27. Doesn't matter if you hate them or love them

"some of my best friends are black"

[Beware the Beast Man]

28. Get a grip. Seriously.

Don't read into things more than what they are.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

30. I clearly stated that if the pic were in earnest, that I withdrew the

statement. The rest is for you and all the HOT MAN LOVE posters to consider. Go back and read the GANNON threads on this matter.

[GirlinContempt]

32. How is that

irrational fear of, hatred of, or aversion to homosexuals?
In what way is it discrimination?
:shrug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

34. Where did I say it was discrimination? Reread my post.

Remember Brando a couple decades ago declining his Academy Award because of the portrayal of Native Americans in the movies?

If one is "mocking" then mocking isn't acceptance. It's a sophomoric way of reacting to discomfort.

Sure there's no need to be serious about everything, but again reread the comments in this thread and go reread the GANNON threads.

[GirlinContempt]

36. Thats the definition of Homophobia,

thats all. You said it was homophobic, not I.

[terrya]

37. There isn't a homophobic bone in their bodies.

I am good friends with the three men in these pics. I have had the pleasure of meeting them in real life. And I hope they consider me a friend as well. They know I'm gay and are absolutely, completely comfortable with me and my homosezuality.

I posted in here, mentioning how much I liked these pics. And I do. They sure as hell didn't go out and say to themselves "let's take some pics, post them on DU and piss off those fags, especially terrya". Come on.

There is nothing else to read into these pics. I like them and do not have a problem with them.

[Beware the Beast Man]

38. I love you, In a sercretly homophobic kinda way.

:P

:hug:

[Redstone]

39. Now, there's a good reminder that the gay guys here (at least from my

experience), seem to be less uptight, and have a better sense of humor in general, than many other "segments" of people around DU. (And I do not leave myself out of being in one or more of the "uptight segments," I get too sensitive and overreact to things too.)

Hey, they even let me discuss the technical details of the Gay Ray Generators with them...how's that for an example of "big tent" thinking?

Redstone

[eyesroll]

40. No, I'm not gonna say "these aren't two men, these are hedges and

beastman," because that would be cheap.

Uh-uh.

[EstimatedProphet]

24. Jeez, are you guys at it again?

Can't we get pics of your wives doing that?

[Beware the Beast Man]

29. No. we only have a pic of them thumb wrestling.

:blush:

[asthmaticeog]

41. G.L.O.W.:

[EstimatedProphet]

42. Shouldn't that be G.L.O.T.W.?

[asthmaticeog]

43. Rasslin's rasslin. n/t

[GirlinContempt]

25. What is this tingly feeling?

[fudge stripe cookays]

31. Noooo.....

[southlandshari]
