You know, I'm all for having freedom of expression, and for wearing what you want and all things considered I think I'm pretty liberal. I don't look down on guys just because they don't look like I do. But this dude is pushing the line. I mean, str8 people judge gay and bi dudes by the worst examples they see, and this isn't doing our fight for justice and acceptance any help. At least in my opinion. Maybe this dude needs lessons in "club attire" and "street attire." I'm glad we didn't get a frontal shot.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving

This is somewhat of a sour point with me as well, Eldon. I even have trouble going to the pride parades because so many people attempt to be just as 'campy' as they possibly can. (I'm assuming that's where this gentleman is at and that this isn't his normal street attire... God, I hope.) These guys, being the only 'visible' or 'obvious' gays tend to give the impression to others that all gay people like to dress as women or draw attention to their gentiles. When I tell people I'm gay they often can't believe it. I just don't fit the stereotype they have in their mind that basically fits the guy in your photograph.

I think it boils down to this guy, and the ones he represents, just don't care about appearances. They want sex - constant and many partnered sex. And they advertise for it in the most effective way they know how. And I imagine that there are a fair percentage of them that enjoy shocking society and being in people's faces. They certainly don't help the cause of gay acceptance, that's for sure. They pretend they are striking a blow for the 'cause', but the only cause that concerns them is getting laid.

I agree with what you wrote, but it wasn't Eldon who posted it, it was me, Jonathan.

ROFLMAO

Um, Paul, did you mean "gentiles" as in goyim, or "genitiles" as in male pleasure and urination hydraulic equipment?

>or draw attention to their gentiles

Lol... I blame my spell checker! It's agnostic as well as homophobic.

And it's your fault I got Eldon's name confused with yours. My head is still reeling from the Valentine's gift you sent Anthony. (Oh dear, I hope he has some of those little blue pills!);-D

What valentine's gift? - or which Anthony?, Paul

Sorry! I read this thread before I got to my valentine, which, of course is the best I've ever had!

Love,
Anthony

Heavens to Betsy Jonathan I think Paul may have been referring to Genitals

Luckily it was left to the imagination or we could have had another world war on our hands

Don’t put too much faith in your spell checker

Here’s why

Ann Owed two the Spelling Checker
(original source unknown)

This entire poem ran through my spelling checker (Microsoft Word 5.1 for Macintosh) without a single mistake being caught:

Eye have a spelling checker
It came with my Pea Sea
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it’s weight
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two read,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule
The checker pours o’er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Be fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And it were lacks or have a laps,
We wood be maid to wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud.
And wee mussed dew the best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft ware four pea seas,
And why I brake in two averse
By righting want too pleas.
