Not sure how many of you live in the Northeastern US, and how many are dealing with the spread of smoke from the Canadian Wildfires. But I wanted to share a little observation from today: I'm in NYC and the smoke is fairly dense here. So warnings have been broadcast about being outside. Particularly for "at risk" groups ( Elderly, young children, asthmatics). I'm 52 and in good shape, so I figured I wouldn't so much be affected by the smokey air that I couldn't be outside at all. I walked down to SOHO this morning and back (about 15 minutes both ways), and I have to say I am definitely feeling it in my lungs ! So just wanted to share that with anyone who's experiencing the smoke in their location, that you should take the warnings seriously. It's definitely not easy to breathe out there. Even for healthy people. It's not just a warning for "at risk" groups. Be safe. s

He's pretty damn sexy. Too bad (for me) he's a West Coaster.

Young people in the United States are dying at a SIGNIFICANTLY higher rate than their counterparts in other industrialized nations. Largely due to the rampant spread of drug use in this country, which is primarily coming in from South of the Border - carried by numerous smugglers or (so-called) "refugees".

Handsome guy....but I definitely wouldn't know what do with all that.

I completely understand your point. I also disagree with your perspective. Your viewpoint extraordinarily narrow.

A very good point. He's still wearing those same leather chaps from the 90s too.

And WHO is it who gets to decide what the "right thing" is ?

Maybe in your social circles, but I hear a LOT of disgust with the media push for transgender visibility in a variety of social circles that aren't gay-centric. Even some of my gay friends say it's too much/ too fast/ too far.

Some of the most "intellectual" people I've met are the most clueless when it comes to social issues. You can be under-educated and worldly, and you can be highly educated and reclusive. Not everything is learned in a book.

I could suck on those juicy nipples for hours.

This is true. However half the time it's the people who THINK they're intelligent who have no common sense and the "dumb" (under-educated) who see through the bullshit faster. So although I agree there is a growing anti-intellectualism in this country, I think that's a reaction to the stupidity spit out frequently by naive pseudo-intellectual-social-science theorists, who think they can change the nature of humans overnight.

Neither do I.

What political comments ? 🤔 Are you referring to this conversation @Lucky ?

Been discussed before. Nice looking/ great butt. Has a sliding scale $ 300 to $ 500 depending on your stats.

Some of these are comically bad. The head is so far off scale from the body that it's ridiculous to think someone is going to be dumb enough to buy into this scam.

Wow 😳 Did you seriously just write that and hit the send button ? Nothing high class about that statement either.

Looks like Julian's been hitting the gym.

🤣🤣🤣

Obviously. That's my point. Some people suffer less because their issue is private. A friend once pointed out to me that I could hide my homosexual tendencies but he couldn't hide his black skin. So to compare gay rights to black rights was ( in his opinion ) like comparing Venus to Jupiter Same goes for trans people. It's an uphill battle that is separate from the gay rights movement.

Handing the problem to someone and making it THEIR problem doesn't "solve the problem". Squatting only temporarily gets people off the streets.

Correct. But as much as the gays want to deny the existence of bisexuals we are here and lead different lives..and enjoy a greater degree of anonymity so our "battles" are different. A dude in a dress has a whole lotta people who ain't gonna be kind to him. There's no private life to live.

Bisexuals ARE more accepted. Usually because we blend into mainstream society better. I know very few bisexual men or women who you can tell their sexuality from casually meeting them. ( Not saying I know everyone or my sample group represents everyone ). Just saying that if I DO take a sample group from my life. The bisexual men and women I've known over the last 30 years, don't struggle the same sort of bigotry as a man in a dress because our issues dwell in our private lives and arent typically public knowledge. (Yes I know there there are some butch gays and feminine lesbians)

Such a beautiful man. Pity that body art gets in the way of God's own work.

Same for me. Very much "my type". He's good looking / great body...but not SO fabulous that I'd be running out the door to meet him. Standard Afro - Latin mix. Which IS often a sexy combination but I've seen better examples within the category and without comparing him to "white boys". I agree with @samhexum
