I'd spend more time on this but I have to go do the whole mothers day thing
so I can retain my relatively peaceful existence. Maybe more on your other
comments later,
Erin

elements?

homosexuality, but lately it seems to be everywhere. One thing I noticed is
that gay guys have an aura around them of perpetual adolescence. I'm almost
tempted to think they shave their legs, especially if they're going to be
wearing skirts. I know drag is popular among gays. So are gay men really
men or are they wanna be women who are in a sense attracted to the opposite
sex, which is to say, to men?

harder than for straight men. Youth and the body beautiful are highly
prized in the gay community, echoing the way neurotic straight men dump
their mates for younger women. Since we all lose our charms in the end, is
the gay lifestyle really so gay? I have also read that domestic violence is
a serious problem in the gay community, so gayness doesn't necessarily (or
perhaps even usually) bring bonded bliss.

there's no pressure to have sex with them, perhaps its the gays who like the
girls on dates. Gays, to my knowledge, live for sex, which they have almost
compulsively with other men. Does this beg the question that when sex is so
all pervasive with a compulsive edge to it, is it really fun? And what is
someone who routinely reads porn really reading, since porn is basically the
same thing over and over.
