Send in the Marines?
Who doesn’t get the gay obsession with military-types? The hyper-masculine bravery, the beauty of youth and physical fitness, the “touch-me” hairdos, the sexiness of the tough and/or stern – to say nothing of the costume opportunities!
This comes to mind because today I spotted what looked to be a bunch of… well, not exactly Marines, as they were really too young (they looked to be high school age) and they were in civvies. But they were definitely Marines. A couple of them were in dress uniforms and they had the requisite high-and-tight haircuts. They were setting up for and practicing in formation for what turned out to be a recruiting effort. They were definitely hotties… especially the one in the grey sweatshirt. You know who you are.
At first I had the typical reaction: ogle while appearing to be nonchalantly passing by, a skill honed by every gay man who has spent any time in the closet. After I passed I had a very different thought though: we’re at war and these guys could end up dead very soon, just for doing their job.
And for what?
FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH.
There. Now I:
A) got that off my chest, and
2) got myself on the NSA’s new phone-tap list.
