He doesn't want to go into the gay machine so he prefers to get patted down by other men.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

Let me guess, he was caught in the airport mens toilet on his knees and came up with this?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Stop it! Stop giving stupid people attention. Seriosly. They feed their stupidity with attention. Just ignore, dont't share and they will dissapear.

Wait, since the homophobes are in power, can we use this?

Turns out defunding science turns you gay, guys..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

Hating someone for the color of their skin is the gayest thing you could do.

Low taxes on rich people make them gay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Thats crazy because rich people keep telling me low tax on them funds growth and helps everyone.

I mean, why would rich people lie?

Holy fuck! How many times did he go through it?!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

Dude, you were gay already and just hadn't admitted it to yourself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I've been through many airport body scanners and I like men, so I guess it's true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mrs. Simpson made me gay

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Then why was I gay before I ever flew? Seriously when I was young and my peers were getting crushes on girls, I was getting crushes on boys. Seems I always liked boys and was never interested in girls.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 hours ago

your mom probably walked through one while pregnant /s

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 hours ago

seems like they are running out of funny things to say

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

He's using that as an excuse to have gay sex on when he travels. When you get scanned on the way home it turns you back straight. Or makes you gay^2 more research needs to be done.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Going through a second time cancels out the gay polarity. Just make sure you always go through an even number of times and you'll always land back where you started.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

When you think of this projection - it adds up!

Like it started as an excuse why he had a gay fling. He pieces together how he ended up balls deep in a twink and cornered on the TSA scanning him being the route cause.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

First time through the machine makes you gay, second time gives you the voice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

It's like how negative times negative is positive again. Two times gay machine cancels out .

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yea! Always opt out of the scanner and get groped by a male TSA agent instead. That's definitely the less gay option!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Dont worry, they tell you they'll use the back of their hand.

Unless those stupid bomb sniffing machines false-positive and say they detected explosive residue on you. Then they take you into a back room and tell you they're gonna grope you with the front of their hand, this time...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

So just HOW gay can an airport scanner make you? Merely fabulous? Or are we talking midriff-baring t-shirt and nut-hugger shorts Fire Island gay?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

We need a gif where someone walks in pale and balding in a suit, and they walk out in a ripped in a mankini

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Well if it gets them banned..

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I think when you think all sorts of everyday experiences can "turn you gay", you might possibly be gay? And what do the scanners do to gay people? Turn them straight, or somehow more gay?

Like, I've tried all sorts of things in my life, including same-sex sex, and am still straight - like even if I were actively trying to change my sexuality it doesn't. Sometimes to my despair, as I get older, it would be easier to not have such a strong preference.

Being bi only doubles your likes, your odds stay roughly the same

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's interesting that you even felt the need to try it though. I know I'm not attracted to men, I can just tell. I feel no need to test it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 40 minutes ago

But I am a lady, and women are beautiful, and we are more physically affectionate with each other. I think at least a large minority try? It wasn't traumatic, just felt nothing like sex. Performance only, no excitement, no nothing. Though I guess it might be like that with a guy I wasn't into, as well.

I'm down with getting rid of the jobs program that is the TSA and getting all those people on a UBI

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Same. Of all the shitty things DOGE is doing to destroy a functioning government, chopping TSA isn't a problem for me.

Unfortunately they're increasing the military budget. Expect for profit drunken mercinaries with ARs and PTSD to be working the security checkpoints soon

For the love of God why is the right so fucking obsessed with people's sexuality? Leave people the fuck alone...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

I keep thinking this about anyone that brings it up. It seems sexuality is their whole identity so that's how they must see everyone else too. I can't imagine mine or other's sexuality being so consistently at the forefront of my mind. Of all the things, why that? If they can't keep it out of their mind, at least keep it in their head so others don't have to deal with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

If I had a nickel every time a conservative blamed X for homosexuality, only for them to end up in a gay scandal...
