Still illegal to have an adulterous relationship in Virginia. Last enforced in Luray, Va. about 15 years ago. The defendant pled “guilty”, paid $250 fine, and did not file an appeal. The defendant was a lawyer.
Oh Lordy -- Luray ? Guess their famous caverns just didn't fulfill the poor guy's erm, lust, for adventure. In my memories of Luray (and there are many; - best friend in the HS Dorms was from there. She went home a lot, & took me with her.) there seemed to be about the standard amount of foolng around, including the infidelity-type adultury. They just kept it a bit more out of public view. XD Cannot believe they EVER enforced that stupid law, heh.
While it's obviously stupid to make private behaviour a matter of criminal law, there's at least more logic to an adultery law than anything against LGBT+ folk, since adultery at least has a victim in the person being cheated on, and you're breaking a legally-binding promise to them.
And they officially liberated that charming pooch in the process. The corgi reminds me: Do the anti-queer idiots in some of these places realize that various members of the U.K.'s royal family are--and used to be, in the case of deceased types like the Queen Mum--rather queer friendly? Hell, Betty Windsor telegraphed her condolences to the great tenor Peter Pears after the death of his long-time guy (the equally great Benjamin Britten), and that was back in 1976.
I grew up in the 1970s in rural Nebraska and every piece of intellectual property I was ever exposed to was straight. Yet, somehow (!!!) — gasp — I turned out gayer than Elton John’s fanny pack. It’s a miracle, I guess since I didn’t have books give me teh gay.
"Fanny" has an entirely different meaning in the UK. I'm struggling to figure out what Elton John's fanny pack might be. Maybe a little purse for a lap dancer to keep her tips in.
We need a “triple like” feature here in the ‘stack. I read “gayer than Elton John’s fanny pack” to Mrs Hammer. She spit-taked her French martini. Thank you, Mr David, for kicking off our weekend right!
"That remains the case today, no matter how badly some Christian Nationalists want to have Lawrence rolled back." Maybe they want it back because the fear of arrest makes the so much gay sex they are all having more exciting for them than the gay sex already is.
This reminds me of the first time I saw AOT, K deployed in a sentence: I was reading about Roger Stone and asked my friend, "JC! How many of these racist bastards fantasize about watching their wives fuck black men?"
Or the time I was visiting Fort Worth and asked my dad, "I don't understand this city. Where are all the gay people at?"
"Well, son, most of them are married to women and have kids."
My mom told me recently that when she was PTO president back in the 70’s these kinds of creeps would approach her at meetings and sometimes call our house, but she never said anything at the time to us about it. Wanting book banning, wanting ‘effeminate’ *elementary school* students ‘punished’, wanted to bring back segregation (they started busing in POC only in the early-70’s) and my ‘favorite’; the school district introduced mentally challenged ‘adults’ (it feels like they were much older than I was but under 25 when I was say 10) to my elementary school; they didn’t want their children have to even look at 're***ds'. They lost every time and I chock it up to the first gen feminist women who ruled the PTO. But they got ‘smarter’ and more organized and until this last election had ‘won' shit like Central Bucks School District, a couple of districts over from mine.
That’s really messed up because same sex people used to dance together all the time before the war. You can see it in POST ‘code’ films. Heck the prisoners in the 1953 film Stalag 17 danced together!
"Pinched face Bible bangers" is a great description. They look like no one should have fun if they can possibly stop it.
the red states need to wake up to themselves a lot more quickly i'm afraid, or there will be no rights left to speak of
Go to Murfreesboro and hold hands, everyone!
Being an adult is legal!
with the gay legalized, it's a slippery slope to house flipping and nice looking neighborhoods.

Thanks for keeping the 'children' safe Craig. You're a regular prince of a human being.
Bless. His. Heart.
Ta, Dok. I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday.
You got anything with less stupidity?
This is America, pal
“This is an Arby’s sir…”
If God's a guy and you're banging the Bible, you just might be gay.
Or as is said by Jesus in the actual KJV bible, to either Rocky or Satan himself (sources vary): Get thee behind me, Satan!

In Spanish we call them "cangaro" ("kangaroo")
Likely just an overreaction to all the straightness.

Elton John's fanny pack, that's pretty gay.
But you had Elton!
Back then Elton John and Freddie Mercury were straight as plumb lines.
Just like Paul Lynn and Liberace.

"In conclusion, have a happy Thanksgiving next week, and don’t let the poultry-fucking bastards anywhere near your turkey."
This is why I always make a decoy turkey, just so I can figure out which family member to annoy.
Most “indecent behavior” issues can be fixed with stronger 'anti-peeping Tom' laws...
I had a co-worker who told a story about getting arrested for violating a local ordinance against same-sex dancing in the 1960's. This was in Ohio

Please don't give our legislature any more ideas.....they're still trying to figure out ways to screw us over after their humiliation last week
