    That’s not really closeted. For them that’s just a greeting.

    Its like telling a football player that slapping another dude’s ass in tights is gay. (Not to mention chasing other dudes in said tights…)

    Just a different culture.

    It’s still a very closeted and homophobic culture, but that’s not why.

        Yes, I was that nerd at the state fair cheering for the robotics teams the first time the held state finals at the fair… even though I don’t have a kid, or know any of them.

        I wish I had that when I was in school. Give me battlebots any day of the week.
