No, Larry's friends are supposed to enter, Larry is there to let them in.

The large purple rectangle is a protein channel across a cell membrane. It's normally closed, but can be opened by binding to a specific small molecule, which is called a ligand. Different channels have different ligands, and their presence/absence controls whether the channels will open.

In the cartoon Larry the ligand has been traveling with his friends, who represent the cargo to be transferred through that channel. When they reach the closed channel, Larry uses himself as the "key" to open the channel. Since channels usually only stay open while the ligand is still bound, Larry stays behind to keep the channel open while his friends make their way forward.

Just a reminder that Ann Coulter and Tucker fucking Carlson are "deadheads" too. Walz is great and I think he gets it, but the evidence of that is what he's done not the band merch he wears.

No, you're painting crossdressing in a negative light and you should do better.

You can be celibate after having children, so yes?
