Helpfully, Christwire has posted a list of warning signs that a man might be gay. Regular readers will note that the list effectively outs as gay males everyone who writes here, with the exceptions of Jason, who’s already out, and Lisa, who’s female. So, anyone want to help with the LOOG float for next year’s Pride?

Christwire HAS to be satire. There’s just no way that’s real.
And for float suggestions, how about a giant paper-mâché bowler hat with all you guys dancing shirtless around the brim? It feels like it needs something more, though.Report
@Aaron W, We could have Brother Cheeks with a feather boa distributing phamplets about how we’re all going to the lake of fire?Report
@North, That’d be great! The lake of fire makes a good vacation spot for the gays- I heard you can get a great tan there.Report
@North, You know North, over the past few months I’ve “grown.” I’ve become more and more tolerant, more open and loving of all Jesus’s creatures. So if I’m invited to the parade I’ll distribute the pamphelts with a boa, if you’ll join me and make sure the leather boys don’t bother me! Then, after, I’ll buy you a drink!Report
@Robert Cheeks, I would have gone with “and my feather boa will say things like ‘die, you will not die!'”Report
@Robert Cheeks, Don’t do it, North! It’s a trap!Report
@Robert Cheeks, You’re a good man Bob, even if you go over the top when you’re tweaking us lefties.Report
@North, …not bad for my generation. However, I do have difficulty with the cultural line.Report
@Aaron W, yeah, this is satire. Other columns include “Do gay pets go to heaven?”, “Obama is a Soviet Muslim: 3 in 5 Americans Now Understand”, “Chinese are Evil But Racism Always Unacceptable”, and “Poll: Is It Okay For A Christian Husband To Gently Beat His Wife?”
Very subversive. I like it.Report
@Transplanted Lawyer, Yeah, I didn’t notice those articles until my smarter half pointed them out to me. But, you’re right- that’s got to be some good satire.Report
@Rufus F., Now I don’t know what it says about our marriage that my wife detected obvious satire before me and yet she hasn’t detected my homosexuality.Report
@Transplanted Lawyer, I’m having Adequacy flashbacks …Report
I’m very open about my late-night use of cell phones and computers.
And what’s this about “sudden” heavy drinking…?Report
@Jason Kuznicki, I was thinking there are probably a few of us here who would admit to heavy drinking, use of irony and sarcasm, love of pop culture, posting stuff at 3 am…Report
My wife will be so pleased.Report
