What is your position on the election?

I am not sure words can describe this magical logo. This may partly explain why DC overwhelmingly went for Obama. It is just a hunch, but I am guessing Barack is a top. Any thoughts on how this plays out in the lesbian world?
Oh, and in case you were doing some early father’s day shopping, you can get merchandise here:
why is it a starfish?!
oh man…the starfish. amazing.
Bottoms for Obama is tacky and stupid. I’ve seen that moron around town loving the attention he’s getting from that shitty shirt.
My fratboy friends would use “starfish” to talk about a girl that just laid there during sex. So should this group really be called “boring, unresponsive bottoms for Obama?”
In college I was friends with a guy on the swim team who hated one one of his swim-team-buddies. They had been calling him “asshole” but then started calling him “brown star.” I think the connection is pretty obvious.
Aside from my growing disdain for the Obamabots trolling around DC, this logo and its apparent use on a t-shirt once again reveals the heinous taste of many gays lurking amongst us.
Well its about time that Bottoms as a group are expressing themselves politically! Barack Obama speaks to me, as a bottom, ridiculed and oppressed by a hyper-masculine gay community.
The reason this fight between Obama/Clinton has gone on so long seems pretty obvious to me. They’re both tops. I guess it was foolish to think one of them might bend over.

Tee hee! You said “shitty” shirt!
I’m amazed how many queer men are into Hillary. The shirt is great, he should love it… what a tribute!

::long sigh::
I hope people aren’t this angry when I wear my “Trannys for McCain” shirt while slinging around my “Barebackers for Hillary” tote bag. Hmmm.
I might be a moron, yes. But that being said, I should fall somewhere between the mental age of 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. Therefore, aside from being able to recognize the concept of reversibility in numbers and having more refined finger control, I can figure out that there was only one person who saw me wear the shirt twice. Look Anonymous 2, I know you’re angry, but I’ve made a whole $15 bucks off that shirt. How about I buy you a drink at the next Blowoff? No hard feelings? Smooch?
“Around town” is stretching it a tad, though. I get around, yes, but I have yet to wear it at the 17th street Safeway, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel or Crew Club. I wore it Saturday night at Blowoff and Monday night at Taint.
As for the loving the attention part….well, by “attention” that must mean the half hour conversation I had with the super hot tall guy who laughed at my shirt and came up to talk to me. Yes, I loved that. I loved it long time. I’m a jerk. My bad. :(
Anyway, when all is said and done, as my grandmother used to say, “Who needs a personality when you have cheap self-made T-shirts?” Okay, she spoke only Spanish, so she might have been asking me to close the door. Whatever.
At least the commenters on Gawker seem to get the joke:

Lastly, everyone that’s angry at my shirt, please: chill the fuck out. I have not been asked, nor have I said, nor will I probably say whether or not I support Obama. This shirt was an extension of an inside joke with my amigo. Pun on “inside joke” intended.
Feel free, though, to buy me a drink and ask me about my bottom or top references.
Now, off to research penguins.

TNG started off as a DC-based blog/website for alternative queer culture, events and commentary, but we've realized our writing and concept isn't applicable only to DC. We're working to expand into other cities throughout the US. Here's how you can help:* Become a city events editor.
In order to be a good fit for helping us out, you have to meet two criteria: you need to be prepared to spend some time at this, and you need to be frustrated with the current status of queer culture in your town. If you think you have what it takes, please let us know by emailing info@thenewgay.net.* Write for TNG.
