Sully Says Being Gay Stopped Him From Getting A Car

by

Come again, Andrew?

Email to Andrew:  “I was just wondering why you don’t drive/haven’t driven? Is this a personal choice?”

Andrew’s answer: “It’s a choice the way so many things in life are. I was a nerdy and reclusive teen who had no social life because of repressed homosexuality. I didn’t need to go anywhere that needed a car, and the train station was a twenty-minute walk.”

Let me praise God and thank my Mom for not raising me to be such a victim.  I am sooooo glad I don’t go around each corner to find the “Gay Bogeyman” to use as an excuse for every situation in life.

Good heavens.  There are a hell of a lot good reasons to cite for not owning a car…. did throwing out the “Gay Card” do anything more than make him look like a whiny victim of the terribles of the world against gays?  (Well yes, it also did make my eyes roll.)

PS – Does Andrew still really think he is a conservative?

  1. Good comment. Does EVERYTHING in the life of Sullivan and his Gay Left chums of the last few years, revolve around being gay? Is it gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay all the time?

    “As I get older, I’m getting wrinkles – it’s because society stressed me out because I’m gay.” Blech.

  2. I will just say that speaking for myself, my sexual orientation is only a small part of who I am as a person. If anyone can’t get past that fragment of their life, they have serious issues. My orientation does not strictly define who I am.

  4. It’s peculiar that Andrianna Sullington is quick to play the gay victim card, but would most likely deny how much of his success is due to gay affirmative action. Without the gay angle, he’d be just another demented, babbling Bush hater … but without the TV appearances and paid writing gigs.

  5. It really boils down to the difference between being a gay professional versus a professional gay, doesn’t it? Methinks Sully has become the latter.

    I mean, really, that is the STUPIDEST reason for not owning a car I have ever heard.

  6. Say what? He was a reclusive teen, partly due to having to repress his sexual nature, and so had no need for a car. Sounds like an honest answer to a simple question. Are you that hard up to hate that person?

  7. ***Let me praise God and thank my Mom for not raising me to be such a victim.***

    Ditto!! What the hell has happened to Sullivan?? I used to visit his blog on a daily basis, until he mutated into another whiney liberal bee-atch. He would make the perfect president of that new planet they discovered. For the LOVE!!!

  10. Apparently his personal confusion about left vs. right rear-pocket hankies continues to his inability to know which side of the raod to drive on….. Yeesh!

    Or, which side his bread’s buttered-on….

  11. I stopped reading Sully ever since the elevation of Pope Benedict XVI. He went off the deep end and never fully recovered his faculties after that.

  16. Ummmm….did you actually read the whole article in the link you provided? Sullivan goes on to discuss a variety of reasons at other stages in his life why he didn’t have a car and being gay isn’t part of any of them. Clearly, when he was younger and repressed, he had feelings of lonliness and therefore didn’t have a reason to have the freedom of a car at the time. Clearly, not having a car now also has nothing to do with being gay

    Perhaps if you’re going to mis-represent people’s statements, you shouldn’t provide readers with links to find out that you’re premise is wrong.

  17. Well, hell, now I understand Sully’s line of thinking. Let me give it a try…I was late for work this morning because, as I was leaving my condo, I noticed my hair was not perfectly mussed up and my shoes did not go with my belt, so I had to get all that JUST right. Damn, if I weren’t gay, I would have been on time. oooooh, this is fun.

  18. My own experience is somewhat at odds with Sully’s. I was inspired by a long-ago BF to get into motorcycling… and now, 15 years later, I’m still riding. 🙂

  19. It’s pretty hysterical how Sullivan purports to harbor no animosity against the vast majority of us who need more than a bike to get from point A to point B, but his support for a very non-conservative and very huge gas tax hike pretty much puts the lie to that.

    And I really wish he would quit posting about drugs. We get it, Andrew. You LOVES your doobie! Jeez …

  20. Your credibility is really in question here. Even what you quote him as saying doesn’t support your “headline”. Your anti Sully campaign is silly at best. Remember your “Saruman” assignment? I do. That was a cheap shot and now you have another one under your belt.

  21. he had feelings of lonliness and therefore didn’t have a reason to have the freedom of a car at the time.

    Why screw up feelings of lonliness by getting in your car and going out to meet folks? It’s far better to sit at home and stare at the walls and grow up to be your own vicitm.

    Speaking from experience?

  23. TGC writes: “… better to sit at home and stare at the walls and grow up to be your own victim….”

    And in a nutshell, TGC, you’ve pointed out the largest difference between those of the GayLeft and most moderate-conservative gays who don’t buy-in to the GayLeftCulture of victimhood.

    I wonder if the GayLeft types like ASullivan have been using victimhood to replace the responsiblity for living a real life… filled with challenges, opportunities, duties, constraints and the need to make sharp and prudent decisions instead of choosing “all” and demanding “everything be given to me”.

    I think it’s why most GayLefties wallow in massive credit debt.

    I think it’s why most GayLefties have poor job performance and poorly executed careers.

    I think it’s why most GayLefties fail to sustain relationships and, equally, rail against God and religion. Religion calls them to account and most GayLefties don’t like being held accountable. (Please see Ian, sean, raj, CowBoyBob, QueerPat, MrModerate, Ridor, GodOfBiscuits, JoeMyGod, MikeyRogers etc)

    I think it’s why ASullivan has such a large, loyal, worshiping audience among GayLeft types… he feeds their need for validation that their victimhood is real. Not their life is real —–their victimhood as an excuse for living a real life.

  24. #22 – TGC, in one brilliant move, you have established why liberals are among the saddest and most depressed people on the planet. They alone coined the term “self-loathing.”

    In their sick worldview, anyone who isn’t miserable can’t be a liberal.

    Michael Savage is right – liberalism IS a mental disorder.

  25. Good comment. Does EVERYTHING in the life of GayPatriot and his chums from the comment sections, revolve around Andrew Sullivan? Is it Sully, Sully, Sully, Sully, Sully, Sully, Sully all the time?

    Yes, it is.

  28. Jimmy… I’m not sure what alternate universe you live on…. but before this post, I hadn’t written a word about Andrew Sullivan for a month.

    I know you live in another dimension… but a once-a-month topic doesn’t qualify as “all the time” in the normal world that humans occupy.

  29. Bruce writes to keogh: “… but a once-a-month… doesn’t qualify as “all the time” in the normal world that humans occupy”

    It does if it’s keogh and the topic is sex, Bruce… with someone other than himself. I hear it’s lonely in the Land of 10k Lakes.

  34. 22: “Speaking from experience?”

    If you mean my experience of reading here that people like Sullivan are being mis-quoted/misrepresented by the posters/responding to this blog, then yes, I am speaking from experience.

    I just think it’s very funny that Andrew Sullivan was once the darling of gay conservatives. Now, however, he’s villified because he has realized and openly admits that Bush is the worst president we’ve ever had.

  35. #34. Anal rape….tee hee. Anal rape…..hahahaha. Anal rape foisted, with frosting. And we all know that gay people are made gay from anal rape. Anal rape=gay. Lovely.

    #29. Read your archives. My favorite post title: “Does Andrew Sullivan Read GayPatriot?” You might have used this specifc title about three times.

  37. I’m sure there are many things to criticize Andrew Sullivan about. I don’t think this is one, and some posters have suggested, the headline of the thread is misleading. GP, it’s as if you took the line about Sullivan’s “repressed homosexuality” as a teen, and made that the sole reason why Sullivan doesn’t drive. In fact, even the excerpt you quoted indicates other reasons why he didn’t have a car as a teen or young adult.

    If he then went on and said that his repressed homosexuality is “preventing” him from driving now, I would definitely agree with you, whether or not he had parents that were as accepting as yours apparently were. But it sounds like he’s happy with his choice now.
