"We'll Have A Gay Old Time!"









If it's June,
it must mean
BEARS!




And don't forget the
GNOMOSEXUALS!



Now, boys, go sharpen your bitchy, sarcastic wit
so you'll be worthy of the name --

Oh my god, the gnomosexual!

Martha said...

Oh, the "gnomosexual"! HAHA I love that.

Marie Smith said...

The gnomes are priceless!

Travel said...

Gnome Daddy, what a big hat he has.

Bob said...

Dan Savage, as usual, was spot on!

Friend of Dorothy ... Zbornak? Yes, ma'am.

Old Lurker said...

Fred and Barney? Hardly. Wilma and Betty were the clandestine power couple on that show.

And for the last time: Dorothy. Wasn't. Ugly. Periodt. The Golden Girls show was mostly great but all the "Dorothy is a dog" jokes got real tired.

The "coach: show me how fierce you are" is a riot and the garden gnomosexual is just the cutest. If I knew how to paint, I would probably make a fortune selling them.

Love the quotes by Dan Savage. I remember when salons were closed on Mondays...before I "came out" I would go to the beach to see all the cute gay hairdressers in their Speedos and bikinis.

P.S. Happy Pride...going to the celebration today in Santa Fe, NM.

These are fabulous! I love the one showing how fierce the boys are. That little guy is just to cute. Have a great weekend.

Jamie Ghione said...

I thought about that Flintstones cartoon when I saw your post title.

Linda d said...

Looking fierce!!!!! 😂🤣😂

Love it

These are all wonderful! Especially liked the Bear market Bottoming, and the little fierce boy. Hilarious and sweet. Btw, a former contestant on the GBBO is a gay rugby player. And he is dishy!

Not sure what the bear has to do with being gay - please explain. Also is Dorothy Spornack like an icon in the gay community?

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Lady M -- It's my pleasure to explain!

"Bears" are a subgroup in the gay male community made up of (usually) older, huskier men who do not subscribe to the young/thin/muscular masculine stereotypes so often presented as the gay male "ideal."

ALL the Golden Girls (and the entire TV series) are icons in the gay male community (well, the older gay male community anyway; I don't think today's queer youth are invested in the GG anymore). They are icons in the same way as beloved drag queens are icons.

So hilarious to read them all. You made my day

Joanne Noragon said...

I'll be sorry when June is over.

River said...

I love the gnome with the pride flag, where do I get one?

Kirk said...

Dan Savage speaks the truth.

Before The Golden Girls Dorothy, Bea Arthur was that  uncompromisin', enterprisin', anything but tranquilizin' right on Maude. Odd how that didn't make her a gay icon. Too soon, I guess.

NanaDiana said...

LOL- OMG- I especially love the Family Feud reveal and the gnome! Too funny. My friend looks just like Dorothy and for years when she and I went anywhere people assumed we were a couple. She was mortified...I thought it was hysterical--neither of us is gay. Gotta love it! xo Diana

Liz Hinds said...

Mums have a great sense of humour! And I love that fierce little boy!

Ur-spo said...

these were all splendid.

angela said...

Pride month in the uk was done so very well.
Street parades people dressing up. Rainbow flags everywhere
Absolutely fabulous 🏳️‍🌈

Marie Smith said...

I watched an interview with Elliot Page on CBC. Enlightening! How brave he has to be to be himself as he walks in the world. So sad! And admirable! An example for our children! Live and let live is the least we can do!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Marie Smith -- I saw that interview too! It was really good!

Adam said...

Republicans don't like it when the NFL is pro LGBT, yet they ignore the Chicago Bears

I can't wait for the Oakland Twinks to be a team

Busy Bee Suz said...

"Show them how fierce you are!" 😳😜😉 I died!!

Rommy said...

Strut your stuff gnomes! LOL, I cracked up at the pursued by a bear meme.

Fundy Blue said...

The not-so-fierce little boy is darling! Thanks for expelling the bear, because I didn't understand it. I wish I had seen that Family Feud question!

The Captain said...

The Flintstones one made me spit my tea 😂😂😂
