It's so jarring hearing Stav's baying, hyena-like laugh after 6 months without it.

[@PossumBuddy420]

"Straightness must be achieved" has got to the the gayest thing I've ever heard someone say

[@bottletoad1020]

“Straightness must be achieved” I fucking spat out my jack daniels and died laughing. Of all the multitude of hilariously closeted Dreher articles, this one was one of the best.

[@duncanluciak5516]

Let's all support Rod during his coming-out.

[@garcalej]

Rod Dreher delves the gay underground like Dante. Sooner or later he will reach the ninth circle, realize Beatrice means nothing to him, and screw Virgil underneath Satan’s wing while crying his eyes out.

[@leitregjok2830]

Omg rod just say you're gay or bisexual and be done with it 😂😂

[@cryptbeast3222]

@@matttriano He has no career, home environment or marriage to stop him at this point. He's forced to live on the down low so it's the perfect time to get busy. He's the type that will bend his previous religious objections to accepting his current exploits.

I’ve always hated sexual repression, but I have to say, if it weren’t for it, we wouldn’t have the gift that keeps on giving of Rod.

[@DoggyHateFire]

Rod knocks it out of the park with this one. He might be the most consistent quality source of reading series material. Megan McArdle is up there too.

Perfect goblin laugh

[@leonardorestrepo5196]

He would be so much happier if he was gay and a reactionary. Seems like a good life

[@R0S3inC0NCR33T]

right? all you have to do is make a tiktok account where you bitch about cancel culture while standing behind a rainbow flag or whatever, and instantly you have a media career and get invited onto Tucker Carlson to moan about trans people

When this poor sap inevitably googles his name, finds and listens to this series of clips, what's he going to do in response? I mean to be fair, he is used to being dunked on. But this time it's buttressed with Stav's cackle

[@52flyingbicycles]

I think Rod Dreher is aware of Chapo Trap House

[@DoggyHateFire]

@@52flyingbicycles Yeah, I remember that Rod knows who Will is so he'd know the podcast. It almost sounds like he's writing these columns in part because he knows how popular they are on the podcast.

[@Weirdingmodule9]

Yes! I had to rewind that part I laughed so hard. It's case fucking closed after he said that.

[@TR3790]

Guys I'm all for making fun of Rod. But when your laughter at your own jokes is drowning out the audience - you got a problem.

[@bighomiegayass1917]

You should show them how to do a live show properly, I bet you’d kill it on stage

[@rstanis2]

I also think that whenever someone continues to call debate partner gay. Like you're calling rod gay over and over. And of course he's not gay, but if he was gay why would you call him that or why would you even make fun of him for being gay when in your world gay is just as good as heterosexual? It's like calling the sky blue or calling the sky white or yellow. They're all good colors they're all equal in the sky at different times. In your world gay is just fine so you're calling rod okay, fine, perfect. The people on the left do that a lot to the people on the right. They accuse them in a weird joking sense of being closeted homosexuals. And let's say they were you would be guilty of bullying them and also your whole foundation of an argument wouldn't make any sense. Because you argue that being gay is perfectly fine so then you're making fun of someone for being perfectly fine. I mean it's obvious that you and your crowd understand that homosexuality is not perfectly fine because then you wouldn't find anything humorous about it. I can listen to this whole video and it doesn't get me angry it just gets me agitated and confused. Because you support homosexuality but yet your opponent you're going to degrade him by calling him a closeted gay man. It doesn't make any sense philosophically.

[@johncrane3858]

They're not making fun of him for being closeted gay. That's not the issue. There's nothing wrong with Jerry Falwell Jr being a cuck kink guy or Rod being gay. It's their absolute obsession with making other people follow their rules that they don't follow. It's also the lack of self awareness and the absolute psychological weirdness of it all. It's hilarious to hear people preach to everyone else while telling us how they really feel on accident.

[@willtowers1532]

you're gay

[@rstanis2]

​@@johncrane3858 I'm not familiar with Jerry Falwell. He enjoyed watching men have sex with his wife? However, Rod Dreher is not gay, and I still don't know why you are saying this. Most people never even heard of Rod Dreher. There are lots of names and bigger names that preach out against homosexuality. The road goes two ways- I don't know why I have to follow other's rules I don't believe in. I don't know why the Army is giving me transgender training- explaining how a man with a vulva is a man and will be assigned to the male private facilities. I don't know why Home Depot is showing me training videos of a man in a dress and telling me I will be sued if I question this. The ship, this ship we are all on..and have to live on, has a host of people doing their own thing. If I see someone drilling a hole into the ship and I ask why, they may say, "because this is what is best for my life." I think, "oh boy" and we all get to drown soon. So , I still don’t see a way to work this out. We have to have a society that has some basic beliefs. We’re going to have a country where half the populace things a lifestyle is immoral, depraved and wrong to teach children, and the other half believe it’s just as moral as anything else, is love, and must be taught to all children. How will this work? It won’t. Doesn’t anyone see, this won’t work. I think Rod and his book, how I found out about him, is written for Christians, not for atheists or people of other religious beliefs. He’s not getting into politics to change laws to force his Christian views (and these are views all religious have held) on others, however. I’m trying to search information on Rod for being homosexual and I can’t come up with anything.

[@rstanis2]

@@willtowers1532 Gay as meaning "you're not cool." Then yes, I'm incredibly gay. Always.

[@bottletoad1020]

@@rstanis2 it’s not funny that he is gay. It is, however, insanely funny that he is the most fabulously closeted gay man of all time trying to impose morality on others when every second article of his absolutely oozes unrequited homosexuality that straight people don’t experience. It’s also incredibly funny that you believe he is straight, because you google searched and can’t find anything about it. ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. If you think Rob is straight, please DM me, I have several fantastic investment land deals you will be interested in.

[@rstanis2]

I like rod dreher. Under forty, too No religions support homosexuality as the correct way. He's just pointing out how Christianity doesn't. But it's not like the other religions do. You can make fun of them it's a free country. I didn't know he went to Hungary. Maybe I should go there too then 👍 I like people who can make good arguments but you can't be a stand-up comedian and then also try to be a stoic philosopher as well. You either come across as one or the other. And when I want stand up comedy I look for something else not these modern social political sexuality ideological jokes.

[@Some_Average_Joe]

There a re a lot of non-Abrahamic religions that are fine with homosexuality. Sects of Hinduism, Buddhism, African religions, and Native American religions to name a few examples.

[@rstanis2]

@@Some_Average_Joe I did try to look that up back in pre 2015 gay marriage debate dates. I asked the internet what Gandhi thought of homosexuality. No data, or if there was it was negative. Gandhi promoted disconnecting oneself from sex actually, so i doubt he would have accepted this. i mean you say "sects"/ yes there are also christian sects that approve gay marriage. methodist, lutherant, episcopal, etc. sects. they are divided themselves. the more progressive and more traditional sect. it's not right. the cut themselves in half. i would be willing, if i knew how, to study hindu buddhist religions to check this theory. going on, i'm biased already, because i belive strongly the mainstream of all spiritual teachings of the past Never allowed an approval of same sex relations in the bedroom context. african religions i think you'd be right, but i will not count them, prejudiced i may be. native americans, i'm siding with No. Today some tribes indeed have gone that way. I'm looking at the historical context. Like when the White man came here.. I don't think tribes allowed same sex couples. Again, you aren't wrong, I'm referencing my guess that the mainstream tribes did not. Certain pockets of hindus and buddhists and natives went out and did their own thing. I'm not counting them as anything but a fringe. I may be wrong for that. I mean here's my proof to myself at least and think it over for me: IF Hinudism allows gay marriage, why does India Still not have gay marriage on the books? If they do next year....why did it take SO long? Doesn't make sense. If Buddhism allows it, why is the ONLY asian country to allow same sex marriage Taiwaan? /sp/ Didn't Zen originate in Japan and they Still are fighting against gay marriage. They may soon legalize it...but why didn't they legalize it 500 years ago? Or Korea? China is Communist, so I won't make you answer for them, but Jap and Kor? Why isn't it okay with them? Please don't say because the government tells them. No. their society tells them. Society is predicated about many things, religion being on backbone. Thus, my proof Buddhusm does not support homosexuality. All this pro-gay ideology started in the West, did it not? Africa does not h ave many gay marriage countries? Very few. America and W Europe has it---which are "Christian" countries. It's humorous to me. However, it's an easy argument. The West, like us, have divorced ourselves from Christianity. We no longer care about those old books (unless we find things that support one of lifestyles/viewpoints). People use budd/hindu I think, and mix it with a West Coast flair update, and convince others it accepts these alternative lifetyles. I never thought it did however. I saw a story of how buddhist monks threw a gay monk into a river. It was more a parable, not a real story, or not in present times. It was a warning, I was thinking. You'd tell me I should take a college course on buddhism etc. But then again the times of non-biased teaching is behind us. Surely the prof will teach the class buddhism is accepting of this. i'd challenge and say buddhism tells to give up desires, though. we'd go round and round. i'd need an impartial prof. ain't gonna happen in this day, with that subject matter.

[@Some_Average_Joe]

@@rstanis2 Man, it's almost like Western Europe tried to impose it's perverted sense of morality onto the rest of the world at the barrel of a gun for 500 years, killing anyone who disagreed with them and destroying all evidence that contradicted their views. Seriously, just Google " views on homosexuality" and you'll probably get something that will explain it. Read Wikipedia if you have to.

[@utkarsh2746]

@@rstanis2 "I asked the internet what Gandhi thought of homosexuality." Gandhi was a political leader, not our Dalai Lama. He has literally 0 effect on religious beliefs and what you want to google is the Khajuraho temple and homosexuality in medieval era India.

[@rstanis2]

@@utkarsh2746 ​ Yes those temple scultures are interesting- showing homosexuality. I wonder why India/Hinduism doesn't speak more about this. They do not go out of their way to make a big deal about it and affirm it, to even strike down people who disagree, as we have done in the West. They seem more netural, which was how America used to be about it all. I think reading about practices in medieveal era india may take up a lot of my time. I'll look at it.
