Homo Can't We All Get Along?

Posted by Dan Savage on Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 8:49 AM

Apparently not:

A gay man tried to poison his lesbian neighbours by putting slug pellets into their curry after he was accused of kidnapping their three-legged cat.

Thanks to Slog tipper David.

That man is quite clearly deranged.

There's probably "scientific" "evidence" that proves being gay causes you to act like this.

@2: I was really sad when I found out that Paul Cameron and Kirk Cameron weren't related. :(

Dan, according to your logic this gay man should represent the views of homosexuals everywhere. Right?

I didn't read the article, but is there some reason that it matters that everyone involved in this was gay? Is it material in some way?

That's, like, the best short story I've ever read.

This is making me rethink my support of marriage equality. LC, you were right!

@5...I was going to say the same thing. What was the point on reporting sexual orientation in this story? The charge is made that the gays put their sexuality "out there" for everyone to see, but isn't it the other way around? Why does the media insist on identifying gay people when it makes no difference to the story?

"What was the point on reporting sexual orientation in this story? "

Because only lesbians would eat curry and have a three-legged cat. duh.

@5 and @8--the point for Slog is that it shows Dan is willing to report when the gays do stupid shit too. I have no idea what the point was in the original story.

I agree #5 & #8. It reminds me of this: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/303…

That quote reads like a mad libs game.

@5 and 8

Do you people not personally know gay men and lesbians?

The fag factor makes this infinitely more hilarious. I feel like I probably know these people. And their cat.

@ 13

This is going over a lot of peoples heads.

I used to be roommates with a lesbian couple and my gay best friend. The couple had two cats and were baby sitting someone elses cat for a year. this article sounds like it could have been our house

Sounds like a plot element in a John Waters movie to me.

The only person who could resolve this is Ricki Lake. Where are you Ricki? Why have you forsaken us?

Every time a hetersexual does something zany or criminal, that rag identifys the subjects as such, right?

Further proof that curry can hide even the most inedible of foods.

Feudin' neighbors? Three-legged cats? Why do we even care when

"Stewart's partner, 43, is thought to have become seriously ill and died this summer."

What do they mean "thought to" can they really not know if the guy died or not?

Posted by danielle on October 8, 2009 at 12:59 PM

@9- Actually, the reason why I am laughing so hard right now is that you could swap me (I'm a woman) and my boyfriend out for the lesbians. We are also curry-eating libtards with a three-legged cat.

Posted by Gigolo Asshattin' on October 8, 2009 at 1:16 PM

I'll bet they named the cat Tripod. It's one of the most popular pet cliches.

27 that is sooo precious

Posted by no spoon needed on October 8, 2009 at 2:35 PM

Don't we all secretly want to poison our lesbian neighbors' cat sometimes? Fess up, people.

Posted by Confluence on October 8, 2009 at 4:03 PM

They got on well until the partner got sick and died. Then the guy seems to have gone off his nut and turned against them. He'll probably wind up at the rubber plantation.
