Ok, boomer. Also: sad old man. I bet he has no problem explaining why he was a murder suspect? Or why he used more weed than god intended?

I mean I'm not going to throw shade at pot smokers but if you can explain to your niece why your jacket smells funny, you can explain why that other kid has two moms.

Just like the “giving up smoke” thing, he’s being paid to say this.

Who knows? But look all around. There are so many signs that they want to ‘do away with the gays.’ In Florida, they are painting over the rainbow crosswalks for zero reason repeatedly deploying the state DOT to fight them. Then there’s this. And there’s talk of making gay marriages invalid.
