Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Whether they were or not, I don't see how that's relevant here.
Dude, I'm gay. That's why. I'm asking out of curiosity.
A couple of fucking legends.
why?
Because I'm gay. And I was curious. Your reports (which btw reek of projected homophobia) got my curiosity deleted by a mod.
i'm also gay. your threadstarter comment reeked of projected homophobia, tbh. fwiw, i didn't report. it just struck me as a super odd question to ask, and struck me right in the "uh oh, avoid this person, they're a homophobe" sense
Of course you conveniently ignore that my comment was innocent as per the evidence. You piece of shit. You're the one who projected homophobia onto the question I asked.
Are you even gay? Or a conservative troll 🙄
listen. i've been gay a long time. irrelevant questions like what you asked are almost never harmless. they're almost always coming from the right. i tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and asked a simple question. "why?"
you said "i was curious" i explained where the rest of us were coming from. now you're bombarding me, exactily like a conservative troll while calling me a conservative troll and accusing me of not being gay. that shit is not okay, and i'm gona block you. i'm still gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that you're young and haven't had to but up with the shit i have and explain what's going on so maybe you can get why everyone responded to you the way you did.
there's a conservative strategy called "Just Asking Questions" where someone is just asking innocent enough questions, or so they say. their goal is to normalize questioning the validity of the existence of gay people at all, and it often starts with asking about the true relationship between two same sex people. either it starts with asking if two business partners or gay, or asking if two men who are living as a couple could really be gay, or if it's just a marketing strategy to sell more ice cream at their business.
that's how your comment read to a lot of us 25yo+ queer folk. i try to be optimistic about people so i wanted to give you a chance to explain yourself. i regret it because even though you explained and i explained now you won't leave me the fuck alone like you're entitled to me seeing the world how you see it, explaining every little thing to you, and validating your way of doing things.
Clearly, you have used that amount of time to perfect gaslighting.
My question being what it is, your answer says enough about you as a rotten individual who likes to throw stones at people being curious.
Hopefully your glass roof collapses on itself the day someone doesn't take your shit anymore.
What? For asking if they're gay? Am I misremembering what I typed or something?
I literally remember asking if they were a couple and that's it.
Dude, did you read my comment or something else?
I am not misremembering. I literally asked if they were a couple.
A couple of besties
They were roommates
