You think sexualiy active gay men hibernate for the other 11 months? You think Pride month is just a cover for an orgy?

Just a generic attack word now of the right wing to attack anything they don't like. It did have an original very positive meaning coming from Black Americans but that has been so perverted by now as to make the original meaning irrelevant.

Again the problem here is conflating Monkey Pox to Pride Month. Pride Month is a political cultural phenomenon. A health department has no business going there. The pushback was deserved Again it is completely correct for a health department to clearly talk about high risk groups and high risk behaviors. So in this case yes it is true gay men are a high risk group for Monkey Pox. Gay men are gay men all year not only a month. Instead of alienating messages they would be advised to do something that would actually help. Promoting vaccination to high risk individuals. That includes some gay men. Not all.

You custom created a narrow definition tailored to your opinion of this one situation.

I was wondering why we have that phrase. Mystery is finally solved. (Sarcasm.)

Not a fact no matter if you say it's a fact a million times.

My take. Pride Month is NOT Songkran. It represents a global movement to promote LGBT equality in civil rights. It's not problem for a health department to highlight known risk groups and what behaviors are risky. I don't think it was a good idea to bring Pride Month into it.

Define woke.

Wow!

Trump trap. Hope these two leading maga fascists beat each other up badly so it's easy pickings for always underestimated Uncle Joe. DeSantis Steps Into Trump’s Trap Using 4-Letter Word (2paragraphs.com)

It is your opinion. In my view an incorrect one. The word is so perverted now that is used for anything and everything right wingers don't like and there is a lot they don't like.

I think she would still need to sell a foreign quota condo.

That's rich You have the objective definition. Wonders never cease.

Minds in the gutter?

I'm not the fascist major presidential candidate focusing on an antisemitic conspiracy theory, eh?

Not anything snookums. Interesting but unsurprising that fascist DeSantis refers to cultural Marxism in his vile kill woke political crusade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory The term "Cultural Marxism" refers to a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory which misrepresents the Frankfurt School as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness. The conspiracy theory posits that there is an ongoing and intentional academic and intellectual effort to subvert Western society via a planned culture war that undermines the Christian values of traditionalist conservatism and seeks to replace them with culturally liberal values.

Shocking!

Well Pride Parades are one day. It's not really a month long party. Like for something like a film festival you need several days.

Funny. Your definition of woke is completely different than the definition given by DeSantis the world's leading kill woke politician. Face it dude. Woke is just a generic political attack word now. Where he uses the loaded phrase cultural Marxism another BS generic attack phrase of the right that most can't even define. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/ron-desantis-asked-to-define-woke-for-reporter-after-trump-claims-half-the-people-cant-define-it/

Yes and other people are allowed to point out opinions infected with bigotry.

For acamic interest the problem was actually pain not the runs. I know. TMI. Wouldn't order again.

OK I had one incident which totally was my fault with my macho chili head hubris. This was at a trendy Korean place in the US all ethnic Koreans other than my table. They had spice level choices. So for my dish which had a broth I chose the hottest without batting an eye. Called something like Suicide. Well golly be what a scene! The chef came out twice to warn me against it telling me nobody had ever actually ordered it before. I persisted. I was made to sign a legal disclaimer. So at this point everyone in the restaurant is already staring. So the dish comes out and it's super wicked hot as expected but I liked the overall flavor and no problem to eat it. I'm sure they really gave me the Suicide as it really was that hot. The staring Koreans were less impressed than thinking me crazy. But I didn't have the last laugh. Stomach pain issues won't say more.

Yeah as a matter of principle I've never sent back a dish for being too spicy and yes it happens occasionally.

Yeah that sorry

It's been standard for many years for there to a cutoff date. If you had posted here beforehand you would have learned about the need to apply early.
