There’s also a free Burning Man fashion expo at Mighty on Saturday afternoon.

Fucking killer weather lately ...

Ah, excuse me, but is it only PC to call a "homo a "homo" if you're a homo, or is it ok to call a homo a homo if you're straight but queer friendly. Do we need little placards indicating our friendliness before we can tear off with the homo speak? Annoying bunch of queens. Yeah, old school - deal.

"Faggot" seems out of fashion but nearing the point of reclamation and "nigger" is so off limits unless you're super white trash talking to your *ahem* "homies". Or I suppose, really black.

Didn't we all get our tighties in a twist over some 'tard with some gay bashing shirt being sold in Fishie Wharf yesterday? Thought so.

I think I am just going to start calling everyone from my mom to my girlfriend a big fat nigger homo dyke bitch cuntbag.

That way I will seem more adorable and enlightened.

Or not.
