Yes, Adam is gay, but it has not gotten in the way of our love. Same with Neil Patrick Harris.!

I don’t know much about Adam, but isn’t he gay? I’m saying this, as someone who’s fallen in love with a lot of effeminate men only to find out they’re playing for the other team. I’m just wondering if it’s like you love like appreciate his music, or love love him. If it’s you love love him, I don’t know if you should because it’ll be a let down when you find out he’s into dudes.

Today I went to a theme park where many of the seats were not built to suit my ample ass. When I blogged about it today, one thing I noted was how friendly and non-judgmental the staff were. I’m so used to people making disparaging comments that it stands out when they don’t! That, is a sad commentary.

@txhealthynfitqt Sorry, but you don’t get to tell other fat people how they should react to something like this. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t feel it’s something to get upset about, but you have to respect the feelings of others who disagree.

And back to the topic of hidden fat hate, I was watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels the other day, and the wife Sharon and her sister were going to a reunion of some kind where they were anticipating bumping into someone they disliked and hadn’t seen for 20 years. Sharon’s comment was something along the lines of “I hope she’s become incredibly fat.” Yes, because fatness is the absolute worst thing that can happen to someone, and if you get fat it proves you are worthless and disgusting and you also probably deserve it because you’re someone I disliked when I was younger. Ugh.

I’m friends with a girl from school on Facebook, and recently she posted something that made me rethink our friendship. It said something like “Sitting in class and I just farted, too bad everyone is looking at the fat girl next to me. Haha, I win!” I’m just going to file this away into the “stupid things my friends think about fat people, but would NEVER (yeah right) think about me” folder. Ughh.

@O.C.

I am a fat person myself and sorry but I have no problem with the comment. And I do know of many fat people who if faced in the situation where thin hands were in front of them would use the term “that skinny b*tch’s hands”.

Now does that make it right? I don’t think so but it is human nature to describe something. Sorry but the hands were fat. If you truly want to get where fat is alright then you can’t take offense. When you do, that is giving the word fat power.

That is precisely why I have no problem with that statement and in fact if a fat person pisses me off I just might resort to saying that fat ass. Does that mean that I hate fat people. Heck no, I am one. If I ask a friend, hey did you see that white trash person over there do such and such, does that mean I hate white people or people who go around looking like they don’t have a care in the world? Nope it just means I am describing what a person looks like to me.

I say get over it.

Some people will find any excuse to let out their thinly-veiled fat hate. Screw those people.

I remember someone was regaling a story about some woman’s hair that she had seen at the pool. The focus was the hair, but the woman went our of her way to say that she had to be “at least 300 pounds,” like that added to the atrocity that was her hair.

I was like, “…:/”

I am a big fat vegan, wonder what those poor boys would do seeing me picking up my effin almond milk with my nice round 270 pound body that would likely stick it sideways in a very private part of them for being such asshats?

I really hate people sometimes. Being vegan does not = thin.
