NO MORE TWINKIES? Say it isn't so!

Say it isn't so:

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/twinkies-maker-hostess-liquidate-company-strike/t/story?id=17736898#.UKYvz4d1GuI

I'm sure the uptight, self hating, homophobe entourage (group) who missed the class on gay homo humor will take offense. We already know who some of them are. Take a big bite and swallow a Twinkie while you can.

For those that don't get the reference, google twinkie defense. RIP, Harvey Milk.

No. I am not. I am saying there are some people within the LBGT community who got A's in gay humor and others who missed the class.

and it's sad...... really.

This post seems to be a shot across the bow, imho, if I take it in consideration with your META thread.

There are other gay people on DU and an LGBT group, are you in any way referencing them?

I might be wrong, and appreciate any light you can shed on the subject.

I am saying exactly what I said. i am saying there are some people within the LBGT community who got A's in gay humor and others who missed the class.

If you have issues with me on other forums or groups (don't know that you do), please take it there. If you take issue with what I say about gay humor, give us your take.

Do you think all members of the LBGT have the same sense of humor?

I am also sure that this post is in reference to your Meta thread, and it's not very kind, and it's a generalization, and it's a poor way to make a point.

You can make your points without attacking persons or groups of people in a sly manner.

I'm done here, this does not seem to be a place where I would like to continue to post. I might read some, and pipe in if it interests me, but group wars are damaging to the people within the groups.

Take care.
