(In fact, in <a href=\"https:\/\/triumphofthenow.com\/2016\/07\/25\/kill-yourself-you-hipster-faggot\/\" target=\"_blank\">another blog post<\/a>, he admits that he&rsquo;s &ldquo;tried&rdquo; to whole <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> thing but&nbsp;in the process&nbsp;he learned &ldquo;the bit that actually matters&nbsp;just isn&rsquo;t my kinda thing.&rdquo;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/photos-guys-with-receding-hairlines-are-sexy-as-hell-20140123\" target=\"_blank\">PHOTOS: Guys With Receding Hairlines Are Sexy As Hell<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m neither a football-hooligan-turned-bouncer nor a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a>,&rdquo; he writes.

Both groups enjoy wearing leather. Both groups organize street parades where they loudly expound personal pride.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Hadley then takes a deep dive into what this all means:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A bald head looks like the tip of an erect <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">penis<\/a> without the&nbsp;<em>external urethral meatus<\/em>, and one would be foolish to deny that there are few things more masculine than a b*ner.

For a fascistic thug, though, the deification of the c*ck makes less sense, unless one subscribes to the sneering viewpoint that every homophobe is a repressed homosexual scared of his own desires.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sure, he may be overthinking.
