Eligible men will automatically be registered into the military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money.

    You heard of the movie Gay Deceivers (1969)?

    It’s about two men pretending to be gay to get out of the Vietnam war draft.

    It’s still fairly funny. Even though it has some issues by modern standards. Mostly the use of gratuitous gay stereotypes. But if you watch it as campy, it still works.

    It also highlights the discrimination that gays experienced and it’s progressive for its time.

    It does have this iconic scene though where another gay man says to a woman tramping through his flower garden to get off his peonies.

    “You dirty bitch, look what you’ve done to my peonies”

    Which she replies they aren’t peonies and he says

    “I may not know my flowers , but I know a bitch when I see one”.

    Based.
