Found the exact quote from the book!
    If you don't believe it, go down to your local karaoke bar on a busy night. Wait until the third hour, when the drunk frat boys and gastropub waitresses with headshots are all done with Backstreet Boys and Alicia Keys and locate the slightly older Asian businessman standing patiently in line for his turn, his face warmly rouged on Crown or Japanese lager, and when he steps up and starts slaying "Country Roads," try not to laugh, or wink knowingly or clap a little too hard, because by the time he gets to "West Virginia, mountain mama," you're going to be singing along, and by the time he's done, you might understand why a seventy-seven-year-old guy from a tiny island in the Taiwan Strait who's been in a foreign country for two-thirds of his life can nail a song, note perfect, about wanting to go home.

happy straight men world cup pride month
Tweet from @gwifirusu with text "based on my observations over the past few weeks" followed by a picture with four drawings. First "straight women yaoi" under a flamboyantedly up'd guy with hair in that anime bad boy villain messiness look. Also really long slender hands. Then there's "gay man yaoi" under a drawing of a USDA prime beefcake'd up dude. He's got a tank top that shows a healthy amount of sideboob showing he never skips bench day. Then there's "lesbian yaoi" under a drawing of a thin sleep deprived looking person with long-ish unkempt hair. Poor guy needs someone to remind him to hydrate. Finally there's "straight men yaoi" under a pic of two soccer players. One is resting comfortably in the air seated atop the others firm forearm. They're gazing into each other's eyes, looking like they just realized something.
