Some Severely Insecure Men Just Can’t With Twitter’s New Heart Icon. Can Someone Say Closet Case?
Some Severely Insecure Men Just Can’t With Twitter’s New Heart Icon. Can Someone Say Closet Case?
Straight dudes have it really tough. It’s like, they want to be able to show support for their bros, but how can they when someone might get the wrong idea and think they’re acting all gay?
And now that Twitter has replaced its “star” icon with a “heart,” life just got even harder for them.
Whereas before they might have “starred” a friend’s gym selfie (because damn man, you’re getting totally ripped we gotta lift together sometime), now they’re stuck “hearting” it. Which is totally gay, or something.
If the above sentences made you throw up a little in your mouth, just wait until you see what actual human men have been posting on the topic:

Donald Trump Calls Ben Carson a ‘Total Loser’ in Pulled SNL Promo: WATCH
Donald Trump Calls Ben Carson a ‘Total Loser’ in Pulled SNL Promo: WATCH
Saturday Night Live posted a series of promos on Wednesday and then took them down, replacing them with a new set which had been edited. Among those promos missing in the new set were a promo in which guest host Donald Trump calls his GOP rival Ben Carson “a total loser.”
“Because of equal time rules for television, Mr. Trump can only speak for four seconds in this promo,” Strong says in one of the promos. “So let me just say this,” says Trump. “Ben Carson is a complete and total loser.”
The original promo was removed from SNL’s YouTube site shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday, and replaced less than an hour later with an “updated” version from which the Carson sketch, and two others, were removed. NBC’s entertainment publicity team did not respond to an inquiry about the switch.
Here’s the pulled promo:
Here are the replaced promos:
Meanwhile, demonstrations are going on outside NBC in midtown Manhattan, calling on the network to dump Trump:

Tokyo Issues Japan’s First Same-Sex Marriage Certificate
Tokyo Issues Japan’s First Same-Sex Marriage Certificate
Holding rainbow fans and grinning from ear to ear, a couple in Japan was photographed on Thursday with a very special document clutched in their hands: a marriage certificate officially recognizing their same-sex union.
According to CNN, it’s the first of its kind in Japan.
Koyuki Higashi, 30, and Hiroko Masuhara, 37, were married in Tokyo’s Shibuya ward on Thursday morning.
“I am exhilarated that the city I am living has recognized my partner as my family,” said Masuhara, per Reuters.
Shibuya’s legislators voted in March to grant marriage certificates to LGBT couples, making the ward the first in Japan to recognize same-sex unions. Setagaya, another of Tokyo’s 23 wards, voted to do the same a few months later.
The local ordinances recommend that same-sex couples be granted equal rights, including hospital visitations and apartment rentals.
At the time of Shibuya’s vote, Toshitake Kuwahara, the ward’s then-mayor, said that young “sexual minorities” were living in fear and struggling with self-doubt in Japan.
“This is the reality,” the former mayor said, per The Associated Press. “The purpose is to realize a society where everyone can live in hope.”
Although LGBT activists praised Shibuya and Setagaya’s move to recognize same-sex unions, they noted the ordinances’ many limitations.
For one thing, they only apply to the two wards in question, and are not legally binding. As such, organizations can flout the recommendations if they so choose.
Still, activists insist this is an important step forward for Japan, a country where LGBT issues remain taboo. As CNN notes, despite “recognition and protection from some local governments, Japan still has no national laws protecting LGBT people from discrimination. Coming out can mean getting fired, evicted or denied healthcare.”
“I hope that this will be a step forward not only for Tokyo but for the whole of Japan to become a more comfortable place to live in, because there are LGBTs nationwide,” said Higashi, per Reuters.
The wire service says Setagaya and Shibuya both began issuing marriage certificates to same-sex couples on Thursday.
“I’m so happy,” Higashi said, her new wife by her side. “When they gave us the certificate, I cried. Our friends cried.”
Across Asia, LGBT rights are limited — or in many cases, non-existent. In Southeast Asia, for instance, being gay is criminalized in several countries. Read more about that here.

Open Question: Strong feelings for a guy I met in an LGBT group. I am 22 (23 this month) and he is 31? Is the age difference too much?
Open Question: Strong feelings for a guy I met in an LGBT group. I am 22 (23 this month) and he is 31? Is the age difference too much?
He is on my mind 24/7 and I care a lot about him, but is the age difference too extreme?
I’ve never dated and still a virgin, so this is all new territory!
What I know is that I would do anything for him and the times I spend with him are the best times I have had in a long time!
If the age difference is too much, can I get over how I feel without losing him as a friend?
