[infrequentvisitor]

this is a phrase I see a lot on this site. Here's an article you guys might want to read and discuss?

I'm sure we've had plenty of gay members here, and still do. But it's not something that comes up in most of our conversations, so unless someone mentions it (or makes a point of constantly reminding us), we wouldn't know.

 

Anyway, I think that article is a bit late in its outrage. I feel like "no homo" is a phrase that peaked about 5 years ago, and now it's on the way out. Probably for the better.

Thats the first time ive ever used it. Always seemed a bit insecure sounding.
