Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 07, 2021

The true power of reverse psychology is how confusing it is to the truly backward among us, if we don’t employ it.

Years ago, after I came out someone asked me if I was sure I was gay since I hadn’t been in a relationship with a guy or had a boyfriend. I replied, “I said I was gay, I never said I was any good at it.”

Oof. That’s gotta hoit.

These are not mutually exclusive.

According to my DNA, I’m less than 1% gay, not for lack of trying

I as suspected of being gay a few times in my younger years. I think it was mostly because I did not hit on every hot girl in sight (as many of my contemporaries were prone to do).

We have mainly Christian bigotry to thank for promoting intolerance to such a level that the term “self-hating gay” was a socially induced reality.

The Stephen Colbert of the gay world.

A bad week for Doonesbury strips, hope it ends soon!

His engineer is supposed to screen out the MAGAhats when they call in.

I remember one of the very early appearances of gay characters on TV. In a 1976 Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, a woman walked in and saw Ed and Howard kissing (I had to google that), and said, shocked, “You’re practicing homosexuals!” They replied, “We don’t have to practice, we’re good at it.”

Sort of like Colbert’s unfunny liberal lampooning a conservative.
