Which is hilarious, since I'm as queer as a three dollar bill!

QED

Predictably, I agree with nursej. That rant reminds me of the Great Tan Suit Meltdown. Feh Forfeiting the game is a business owner enforcing a dress code, as far as I'm concerned.

That's how context blindness works. Back in the 90's, it was fashionable in some circles to use HIV as an excuse for lethal homophobia, we were hearing similar damning "statistics". It turned out that the folks gathering the data had not thought about dual risk factors. So, when recording a particular case in which the pt was both having sex with men AND engaging in IV drug use, they were recording them only as gay men. It seriously skewed the numbers at the time. Here's hoping that the quality of the epidemiology has improved since then. High risk behavior =\= sexual identity. Context mattters.

back in the 70's, a linguist named Dale Spender described a phenomenon she called male context blindness. I see her point.

Econophobia? Not getting the point.

FYI, another event tomorrow in NY city at 7:30PM, free online broadcast Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment Econophobia? Not getting your point.

My comment regarding the ownership of AN has been scrubbed. What I didn't note in that comment is that the ownership is anonymous. Make of that what you will.

Addendum: the edit option seems to have disappeared, at least on this thread (for me).

I guess this is where we're giving feedback about the new site. I second the request for more info on navigating the changes. I, too, find the site extremely glitchy. I'm assuming that this is due to being a work in progress. My questions so far: E aIs the break room being phased out? Am I the only one getting ad popups on every page? Very intrusive. I don't think my phone is infected with something icky because scans come up blank and AN is the only site that does this on my phone. ‘‘Tis a mystery. Will continue to investigate.

Your writing style is similar. Welcome to AN's politics chat.

Beerman?

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one. There have been multiple overhauls of the site in the last 20 years. I 've never seen it this glitchy.

Thank you - still my shero!

Me, too. I ditched both cable and broadcast tv years ago. I just pay for internet service through which my smart tv gives me access to online content. YouTube is free with a paid option to go ad-free.
