They have no connection to Italy, and maybe had one grandmother Italian, and you would think they were born there. They go on and on about how proud they are to be "Italian". Whatever.
You're, like, a WASP or something, right? Let me put it this way. When it comes to Ukraine, I couldn't make myself not care about Ukraine, or to regard it as just another country or something like that, which is the way it is for WASPs, etc. Not possible for me to do. The American melting pot identity is bull****, and it doesn't work.

You miss a lot when your thinking is so categorical. I am not "a gay man." I have my own sexuality which is not so easily summarized into a label. If I felt completely put off by women and incapable of a meaningful relationship with one, I would not have said that. However, that is not the case.

What on earth does being a "WASP" or any other ethnicity have to do with it? Sorry, but you seem quite obsessed about race and ethnicity and tribal this or that. If Ukraine is so important to you, think about moving there or something. I doubt they are very restrictive about immigration since the country is basically a basket case.

I wondered WTF is the Library Bridge glowing so oddly in daylight. But, oh, yes, naturally: https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...b3&oe=56FA6D99

BTW, I still haven't got over ilmc90's absolutely awful post yesterday. Is this a battle we can't win?

I take that as a yes. Then how can you relate?

The label that can summarize you is "special snowflake". As far as I'm concerned, you can only be gay or straight. I reckon the third one is just hedonism. Can't decide whether to gobble **** or not? Just pick a side.

No freedom of religion? Just burn down all the churches, too. I'm sure his followers will agree with that.

You don't think bisexuality exists?
