Earlier this evening, I was in the chat room at gay.com after I had finished the rest of keying the 2009 GLBT history events and posting them as articles.
A guy IM’ed me and asked if I was interested in getting together. I didn’t feel particularly interested, and I said that I was catching up on some geek tasks. he then asked about the future, and I mentioned that I was usually pretty busy with GLBT stuff, Pagan stuff and Democratic Party stuff. (I.e. my schedule is usually fairly busy.) He said that he usually didn’t go out in Erie, but rather in Pittsburgh.
He then mentioned that he was also into politics. I said something about that was nice, and he said that I might not think so. I asked if that meant that he was a Republican, and he said that he was a Constitutionalist, whom I believe are usually even more right wing than the Republicans. He then went on to say that he had voted for Reagan. (Mentally, I am trying to not instantly classify him as a self-loathing closet case, but it was tough.) Yes, I know that there are gay conservatives, but it is not something I get, and it is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.
Can I just say that from my personal perspective that the phrase “I voted for Reagan” ranks right up there with “Hey! Let’s check out my scorching herpes outbreak and then we can go look at the corpses buried in my basement!” as a pick up line?
I was responding with some fairly non-committal variations on “okey-dokey” to all of this.
Then he asks about getting together again. I say that I am about to go out and wish him a nice evening. I resisted the urge to response to the inquiry about getting together with “Only if you are incredibly hot, and the only thing I hear from you are variations on ‘Oh yeah! Pound me harder!!!.” And even then, probably not. I have standards, I am not saying that they aren’t low, but there are, indeed, standards.
I felt the need to cleanse myself, so I went out to the Zone. It was a nice night. I chatted with some friends. I saw my friend John (who is rather hot, and also charming) and John pointed out that there seemed to be a preponderance of black and white flannel shirts being worn that night. I hadn’t noticed it before, but I couldn’t help but notice it the rest of the evening.
So, some more geek stuff to work on during vacation. I think that I need to turn in now.
