I've found that people of any stripe can be domineering, manipulative, abusive, and self-centered, and conversely others can be kind, mutally supportive, dialed-in to each other, and generous. This was one of those "Ah-hah!" moments for me as a teenager, and I admit to judging relationships that I witness on <I>those</I> terms. It cured me of any homophobia anyone might have tried to teach me. And I am glad to say I have never known of anyone who hated me because I'm straight, and I'm grateful for good people who have included me in gatherings and activities despite my straight condition.USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-11290192273954711362008-06-11T11:50:00.000-04:002008-06-11T11:50:00.000-04:00I feel that the marriage equality issue is the civ...I feel that the marriage equality issue is the civil rights issue of our time. Please support these efforts, and spread the word to friends and family. <BR/><BR/>I'm not connected in any way to either of these groups, but I feel that a couple of good websites to gather information are www.marriageequality.org, as well as www.hrc.org.

For me...Thanks for a thought provoking post, Brian. For me, there are exactly two people on the planet whose sexuality is relevant to me: me and my wife. For everyone else, their sexuality is just one more part of their identity to me, like being left-handed or having curly hair or being good at math. I <I>don't</I> believe in don't ask, don't tell; my gay friends should feel as comfortable talking about their relationships with me as my straight friends. No, I don't want to hear about their sex lives, but I don't want those details from my straight friends either. I'm always happy to hear when any friend has met someone wonderful, however, or that they're planning a fun trip together.<BR/><BR/>And regarding the so-called wild activity, I think a lot of that can be chalked up to how politicized our society makes the whole issue of sexuality. If gay and lesbian couples were free to walk down the street holding hands without fear--if they could just <I>be</I> themselves--the need for such displays would go away. And you only have to think of Girls Gone Wild to realize they don't have a monopoly on "wild activity."Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-47734898404640076722008-06-10T11:50:00.000-04:002008-06-10T11:50:00.000-04:00Here like anywhere, with anybody, in so many situa...Here like anywhere, with anybody, in so many situations, mutual respect could be a good way of life...alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178479347468393057noreply@blogger.com
