Holy fuck! How many times did he go through it?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I've been through many airport body scanners and I like men, so I guess it's true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He doesn't want to go into the gay machine so he prefers to get patted down by other men.

Dude, you were gay already and just hadn't admitted it to yourself.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wait, since the homophobes are in power, can we use this?

Turns out defunding science turns you gay, guys..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Hating someone for the color of their skin is the gayest thing you could do.

Low taxes on rich people make them gay.

Well if it gets them banned..

Then why was I gay before I ever flew? Seriously when I was young and my peers were getting crushes on girls, I was getting crushes on boys. Seems I always liked boys and was never interested in girls.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

your mom probably walked through one while pregnant /s

So just HOW gay can an airport scanner make you? Merely fabulous? Or are we talking midriff-baring t-shirt and nut-hugger shorts Fire Island gay?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

We need a gif where someone walks in pale and balding in a suit, and they walk out in a ripped in a mankini

seems like they are running out of funny things to say

I'm down with getting rid of the jobs program that is the TSA and getting all those people on a UBI

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same. Of all the shitty things DOGE is doing to destroy a functioning government, chopping TSA isn't a problem for me.

Unfortunately they're increasing the military budget. Expect for profit drunken mercinaries with ARs and PTSD to be working the security checkpoints soon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Or at least move them to a job in which they're actually useful. Have they ever actually managed to catch anybody smuggling contraband?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yes. They took my peanut butter. They said it was contraband.

He's using that as an excuse to have gay sex on when he travels. When you get scanned on the way home it turns you back straight. Or makes you gay^2 more research needs to be done.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Going through a second time cancels out the gay polarity. Just make sure you always go through an even number of times and you'll always land back where you started.

When you think of this projection - it adds up!

Like it started as an excuse why he had a gay fling. He pieces together how he ended up balls deep in a twink and cornered on the TSA scanning him being the route cause.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's like how negative times negative is positive again. Two times gay machine cancels out .

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

First time through the machine makes you gay, second time gives you the voice.

It always amazes me what stupid excuses they search when they find themselves or someone close "not in compliance". Once they find out that they are e.g. gay, it is never "because God created them so". It's always "(something I don't like or understand) turned them so".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It is never something that even has the possibility to course personality changes. It's always something weird.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yea! Always opt out of the scanner and get groped by a male TSA agent instead. That's definitely the less gay option!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Dont worry, they tell you they'll use the back of their hand.

Unless those stupid bomb sniffing machines false-positive and say they detected explosive residue on you. Then they take you into a back room and tell you they're gonna grope you with the front of their hand, this time...

I think when you think all sorts of everyday experiences can "turn you gay", you might possibly be gay? And what do the scanners do to gay people? Turn them straight, or somehow more gay?

Like, I've tried all sorts of things in my life, including same-sex sex, and am still straight - like even if I were actively trying to change my sexuality it doesn't. Sometimes to my despair, as I get older, it would be easier to not have such a strong preference.

It's interesting that you even felt the need to try it though. I know I'm not attracted to men, I can just tell. I feel no need to test it.
