Got into a major argument with another gay couple about raising children

......yeah but....you named YOUR kids Colton and Packer. Bwahahaha!!!!! Seriously? And you're gonna sit up here and complain about stupid names of other people's kids? Lol!

0/10

R1, I think those are wonderful, progressive and masculine names

R2, my husbear is a huge Green Bay fan (he was a star football athelte) and he chose the name

Can we all get back to johns, peters and dicks?

R4, I wanted a traditional name, but peer pressure is acute and we settled for names we perceived as trendy in our Portland neighborhood.

Colton and Packer.

So you want them to become porn actors?

R6, are those necessarily porn names ?

Well, yes, because OP's funny tale is fiction.

Sounds like quite a freewheeling conversation with complete strangers.

For how many minutes had you been chatting when you confided that you and Husbear are sex positive and "openly watch" porn?

R8, what makes you say that ?

Did you swirl your caftan as you flounced away?

OP, you sound retarded.

R9, we were assigned to the same table and were talking about sex ed in school and how we feared homophobic teachers would hijack the conversation about sex. So I volunteered that we started sex ed early to prevent that very thing from happening.

So OP you hobby is writing fiction?

Did you declare "Well, I never in all my life!" and then accuse them of draining their pasta?

0/10 as EST

6/10 as satire

Easy as 1-2-3. EST baby, you and me.

2/10. Way too close to real life to be full-tilt scathing satire.

I believe you OP and think you handled yourselves appropriately. This younger couple sound like judgmental assholes and Colton's a cute name.

The EST's here are getting more desperate and pathetic by the day.

Please let us see your little Colton and what's his name? They must be so cute and swarthy. Do you also take your neighbor's teenage son, who is on the swim team, to NYC to see the ballet? LO

You lost me when you said "the bottom". Even if this story is true, you sound like an ass.

I'm thankful OP skipped over mentioning his, or anyone else's, 'tiny cocklet' this EST.

It's not unusual for two bottoms to take an instant dislike to each other.

R21, I am the bottom in my marriage and he was the bottom in his.

This sounds worse than the bears eating the Frau wolf.

I just adore FanFic.

Packer will be given the nickname “Fudge” by all his laughing classmates.

Reading this reinforces my deep down feeling that gays shouldn't have children. Internalized homophobia? Maybe. That's just how I feel.

I'll bet there was Miracle Whip in your potato salad. I'd have insulted you too.

OP - I sympathize with you. They are ill-mannered today. And grossly immature. Those who disagree with that are just as ill-mannered and that's why they think it's acceptable. And this whole "gender-neutral" movement is pure bullshit. It's a subtle form of child abuse. The older generations, including the oldest GenXers, would have been beaten to a pulp and ostracized if they had acted like these mental cases.

None of you recognize that this is the return of the "shit brickhouse" troll?

The Gen X couple are the reason so many people are against same sex couples having children. They behave in the way straight people think we are which is so far from the truth.

-1,000,000/10

The thing about doing an obvious troll is that to make it work, it has to be funny. This isn't funny. It's boring.

R30, there was Helmans and salad cream. No cool whip.

I thought this was funny. I thought the name Colton was funny. The name Packer though made me laugh out loud.

Find a better hobby, OP. Writing fake posts on DL is not cute.

What bitches.

If you’re going to troll, make us fight about something, whether it’s salad bar etiquette or what a person owes a trick the next morning.

People have to have sides to take, and the only side your post offers is “do shut up.”

I hope it’s fiction.

If not, OP, you may expect a visit from Child Protective Services. Watching porn with children will get you investigated in your state. Telling a total stranger—let alone doing it in the first place—shows a serious lapse in judgment.

R41, we do not engage in sexual activity in front of children. That's a homophobic canard.

I said “watching porn in front of your children.” And it’s not a homophobic canard. Gay man foster parent here. Watching porn with your children will get you investigated—gay or straight. Good luck.

Thank you. The meatballs weren’t even turkey.

OMG r41/r43, how tragic is your gullibility? As if anybody would actually post their children’s name in DL!

- 4.3/10

Your ridiculous scenarios always have the same tone. "Got into an argument with my boyfriend because I called his mother a bitch, does this ever happen to you?". "My boyfriend slapped me because I said his toes are too short, does this ever happen to you?"

R44 yes they were turkey marinara. I thought it went without saying

I thought it was hilarious. Packer has simply got to be a new DL thing.

R23 Is that right? Do they sniff it out instinctively? Very interesting. Do versatile or tops get on better?

Fun post OP!

What happened next?

Packer is what Sarah Palin would have named her next child.

Great post. Especially for the outrage it has generated.

“Though I certainly look much younger”

Some basic ass betty bitch wrote this, delusional fan fiction

Our little Fudge Packer has a bright future ahead of him!

Aaron Rodgers ought to be a mentor to little Packer. Maybe OP could get crackin' on that sequel thread.

[quote].....yeah but....you named YOUR kids Colton and Packer.

Y estan de America Central.

OP, you forgot to tell us what your dad did to you on that ranch in Montana.

R50, we left on very terse terms. Our children go to the same school, so I ran into them again at the PTA conferences. They 'outed' us to the other gay parents as 'heteronormative complying regressives'. Apparently gender neutral names and upbringing are a thing. Idaho and Mackenzie are raised vegan and encouraged to attend school on skirts and dresses. The administration is very supportive of non conforming students, which is fine, but I resent being condemned for my parenting.

I've been here for close to 15 years and I can count on one hand the number of these EST posts that were actually funny or creative. Like the OP's, most of them are clumsy, obvious and a little embarrassing in their neediness.

^^blocked

I'll give you an A for effort, OP, if only because of the dearth of entertaining posts here lately.

Husbear?

R63 as in a bear to whom a bottom is married

0/-10.

This never happened.

Post screenshots of argument or you’re lying. This sounds like an EST gay bashing thread.

NYF (not your forte)

R66 how is this gay bashing?

There are about 5 subtle gay bashing threads going on right now. Please tell me you’re not too gullible to see someone stirring up crap about the gay lifestyle.

[quote][R30], there was Helmans and salad cream. No cool whip.

Hellmann's isn't sold west of the Rockies. And who said anything about Cool Whip?

R70, I shop exclusively at Wholefoods.

r58 WTF is "heteronormative .." yawn. Is that like a Gay Thetan?

So is this the best DL can do now? Mocking gay parents?

Yes..... and progressiveness, the Pacific Northwest (Portland specifically), bottoms, veganism, gender non-conformity, and porn addiction.

This touches on so many points.

It would have been funnier if the "husbear" was "Blatino" IMHO.

EST?
