Someone help me follow this logic leap...
All the hype around Brokeback Mountain makes kids question their friendships with same sex friends.
WTF? I had a parent from K-Bug's team say this to me.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I guess you'd have noticed heels, so presumably he didn't have heels on
He was wearing black boots, jeans, a black belt, a lavender button-up dress shirt, and a black sportcoat. There was nothing girly at all about his look. He was All Man, baby!

Yeah, that Brokeback thing is so ridiculous, I don't even know what to say. I'd imagine this is coming from right-leaning parents, not from any kids.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

??? Please to explain, as my brain isn't functioning at all and all I can think of is St. Paul (nee Saul of Tarsus), and I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean.

Until the hype, kids didn't realize people could be gay!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What Nicole @@ed.
I'm sorry, I can't be friends with girls anymore, because that might make me a dyke. Hanging out with only boys will make me much more of a real girl.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...I'd still be surprised if these clothes weren't bought from a women's clothing outlet. That's my point. He generally wear's women's clothes. Not flouncy girly clothes (although I still remember the early days, when he first Came Out as a TV, but before he got a stylist/someone gave him a good talking to), but usually women's clothes nevertheless, even if it's just a pair of jeans and a plain white shirt.

(1) I bet it doesn't. I don't think many kids are watching it and analyzing the dynamics of the central relationship, although I dare say a lot of them have heard of the gay cowboy movie and are making jokes about it.
(2) If it DOES...well, er, good. Nothing wrong with asking questions. 'Do I fancy person X?' is pretty easily answered if you don't fancy X. And if you do fancy them, the knowledge of the existence of a movie about gay cowboys has not magically made you gay. Although it may have cluesticked you about the fact that you're not so much with the straight.
Honest to God. They're worrying about a movie slashing people? That's...novel.

I am replacing the word "awesome" with the word "brilliant" in my vocabulary.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Or (in regard to the same-sex friends thing) mean that parents are pressuring their kids about spending too much time with friends of the same sex. As in "aren't you spending a lot of time with X? shouldn't you spend some time with boys/girls?".
