Just because it’s somebody’s job to work against gay marriage, doesn’t necessarily mean he agrees with it. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. Either way, dude’s gotta pay the bills.

Bullshit.

He’s an asshole if he lobbies against gay marriage, but if he lobbies against gay marriage in spite of his personal convictions, then he’s also the worst kind of whore.

Paying the bills is no excuse. If the price of your integrity is your mortgage, sell your fucking house.

You say you’re all for sex work, doesn’t that mean people like you are part of the problem instead of the solution? You should just flat out say “I support sexual exploitation”

Why? My pussy isn’t Marxist. Sex work isn’t inherently exploitative any more than labor in general, and if you’re too much of a child to draw a line between legitimate sex work and the kind of shit that involves force, fraud, or coercion, then the problem rests in your abilities of discernment.

I’m a college student and I signed up to be a webcam model to earn some extra money. It seems like a really good way to make easy cash, but when I think about actually doing it, I get nervous. I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel like I’m crossing a line and I can’t go back. I’m all for sex work, so why does this make me so nervous?

It’s the release form that’s making you nervous.

You signed away all rights in all forms of media throughout the world and in perpetuity to the exploitation of your performance in explicit adult content.

They own it. Forever. You’re about to generate countless hours of cheesy webcam porn featuring you getting off with strangers on the internet, and you have no control over that content whatsoever.

I’m all for sex work too, sweetheart, but read the fine print. It feels like you’re crossing a line because you are, and you won’t be able to go back. Call yourself a webcam model if it makes you feel better, but at the end of the day, you are getting into porn. Low-grade porn. Maybe there will be consequences. Maybe there won’t. Either way, there’s no such thing as easy cash.

This isn’t judgment, by the way. Feel free to sell your pussy on whatever digital street corner you like. Just know that others won’t be so cool about it. People in your life will judge you, and judge you harshly, when and however they find out.

Be prepared. Act accordingly.

Good luck.

So, my cousin is one of those lawyers who works against gay marriage. That is actually his job. I obviously find this abhorrent. My question: how horrible of a person am I if I still invite him to my wedding? If I don’t invite him, I’ll be making a very conspicuous point. But it’s very possible he, his wife & children will cease contact with my branch of the family. (If it matters, it’s a heterosexual wedding, but gay guests will be there.)

Definitely send an invitation. They’re family, after all.

When your cousin (or more likely his wife) contacts you to ask where you’re registered, kindly inform them that you are accepting donations in lieu of wedding gifts to the Yes On Gay Marriage foundation.

Checkmate, bitches.

I’ve been wondering — what do you think on not laughing when somebody tells a joke concerning a subject you find is touchy/taboo? Like about the Holocaust or domestic violence or stuff like that?

What did Hitler say to the Jewish woman with two black eyes?

People have the right to support homosexuality. People also have the right to not support it. Do you agree or disagree?

It depends on whether you’re talking about natural rights or legal rights, and whether the notion of support is defined strictly within the scope of individual liberty.

I would agree that people have the natural right to their beliefs as a matter of individual liberty, but I would not agree that people have the legal right for their belief-based actions to infringe on the legal rights of others.

In other words, it’s fine if you’re just another asshole who doesn’t support gay marriage, but that doesn’t mean you get to enact legislation to deny gay people the right to get married.

My family therapist has convinced my mother that taking me to an ex-gay organization (specifically, Exodus International) will somehow help with the fact that I am transgender.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how dangerous would it be to humor the way-too-religious-for-someone-who-I-thought-was-supposed-to-be-unbiased source and allow myself to be taken?

End your treatment with this therapist immediately and file a formal complaint with your state board of psychology for what is appallingly unprofessional and unethical conduct.

Homosexuality is not a diagnosable mental disorder, and even if your therapist diagnosed you with gender identity disorder, it’s still total bullshit. No therapist who would recommend Exodus International or any kind of conversion therapy should be allowed to keep a license.

I’m sorry that you’ve had to deal with a person in a position of trust who so fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the human condition.

Take it upon yourself to find someone new.

Good luck.

isn’t cocaine illegal? then how do you do drugs, openly advertise the fact that you are taking an illegal narcotic on the internet, and get away with it?

Get away with it? Fuck you. May no vehicle in which you travel ever go faster than the posted speed limit. May you be audited by the IRS every year. May you live your entire life and never break a single rule or law, be it for sodomy, loitering, or walking on the grass.

I wish that for you and everyone like you who thinks that in a free society, someone like me should have to be getting away with it.

so, you are very clearly pro-drugs and all that. but i’m curious – would you respect someone’s personal decision to stay clean or hold them in contempt?

Live how you wanna live, babe. I don’t give a fuck. Oh, and just to be clear, you’re the one holding me in contempt for thinking that you’re somehow more “clean” than I am.
