Papabile: Papal predictions thread

[Martim Silva]

When do you see any straight person saying "I'm straight"?

Whenever they want to say they're not gay or bi.  It happens often here. Doesn't it over there?

When do you see any straight person saying "I'm straight"?

The same context people say "I'm Gay", when the topic is about people's sexuality.

Though personally I don't use gay slang.  'Going straight' makes sense if you are a closeted gay man from the 60s or whatever but it doesn't make much sense if you actually are heterosexual.

[Martim Silva]

And thanks for that op-ed. So enlightening.

Trust me, for locals and us in the Peninsula, it's hilarious and totally reflects the attitude towards the election 

Sorry if it misses you all, though. There was a high probability of that

"Straight" is hardly gay slang. The expression you are looking for is "breeder cunt slave".

I am sure there is more than one term

Straight has been used forever among subcultures to mean somebody dropping out and conforming.

Which generally doesn't happen as it is typically assumed by default.

Yeah it wasn't funny at all. Only merciful bit is that the piece of drivel was so short.

By default, Catholic priests are assumed to be asexual.

(Which is why it is traditionally considered 'safe' to let wives and children near them unsupervised)

A Catholic priest that has a (or is not repressing) his sexual orientation, no matter which one, is commiting a grave fault, not only in the eyes of the Church, but also of the believers (and that is even before the fact that active homossexuality is a sin comes into it).

Ok, to simplify:

The Churches' image in South America is not totally benefitted from the election, as it sits rather badly with the Brazilians, who are by far the largest population in the region.

My point was that you don't have priest running around saying they are straight not simply because it would be a betrayal of the church but also because in general it is an uncommon statement to make - for anyone.

That was clear. Not funny though.

I say this whenever a guy makes a pass at me.

But pretty much everywhere else in South America, it has-- i.e., with a majority of South America.  If Brazilians are that pissed off about it they need to get over themselves.

I thought Brazilians & Argies were getting along a lot better these days

Does that happen often?

You should just say something like "not interested" so you make them think it's them.

I'll be travelling to Brazil next week and will report back whether or not the locals are upset at the notion of a Argie pope.
