Hey! When you've been alone for a few years and can't get a date, forced celibacy becomes a way of life.
Hey, honey, "mid-life crisis 50 year old soccer moms" have sons, you know Better watch it or we'll hide them from you! And, BTW, I'm more of a salsa mom- and I've never owned an SUV.
ScrantonWilkesBarre, your story has me crying like a little girl. There are so many people out there with similar stories of strained and fractured relationships with family or friends. It gets better with time, whether the relationship improves or it just finally becomes a non-issue. I still argue with my parents at times when we're together, usually about Bush or something political...sometimes I can't believe they still don't completely accept me after 20 years (yes I'm old - 40 - but kinda wise). They never let me feel alone or unloved though, I will give them that.
What's the deal with the Brooklyn Hotdog (is that what you called him?)? Do your parents still have any sayso in your life? If not, go to NY and get him if that's the way you feel. It's never too late...but you don't get any younger, so don't wait too long.
As far as anyone else is concerned, after you've lived a few years and had a couple of jobs it gets easier too. I don't ever announce my orientation (don't try to hide it either), but I couldn't care less who knows I'm gay...and even less than that who agrees with it and who doesn't.
People can disagree with it and pray and hate **** all they want..and at the end of the day GUESS WHAT? We're still gay, as is Ted Haggard. Oh right, Ted is straight...straight to a more discreet escort service next time! If I were him I would have my next one under a gag order...
Are moderators to stop/delete homophobia in addtion racism? Which by the way there is RAMPANT racism in this forum with racist remarks and attacks floating throughout the different topics.
As long as the discussion stays above a certain level, mods shouldnt interfere. If this gets more offensive/personal it will get moderated. Rest assured this thread is being watched.
There are tenured professors who believe that my choice to be a practicing heterosexual is evil.
Want to look at some truly bizarre ideas? Read Katherine A. MacKinnon. She uses bigger words, but I find what she says, once I get past the academo-speak, fully as hateful and threatening as anything I ever heard out of any fundamentalist.
Looking for a farrago of scientific misstatements and ignorance? Try "Woman and Nature" by Susan Griffin. She makes all kinds of statements about us terrible ***** wielding maniacs who've screwed up everything...but she's not too clear on the difference between an element and a compound.
In her book "Fire with Fire", that I just love, Naomi Wolf draws a very sharp distinction between working class feminists who are looking for a better life, and academic troublemakers who are, basically, running a "no boys allowed" club, sometimes at public expense. There is a similar diavagation (is that a word?) between the Christians who are in there swinging against the suffering in the world, like the Good Lord told us to do, and those who futz around getting all excited about what they think is sinful.
JC woulda told those latter doo-doo heads to get their asses in gear and go help some poor people.

One small advantage you fellas have: if in the midst of this celibacy you comfort yourself with some feeeelthy magazine (kind of like chewing gum instead of dinner; better than nothing ) you don't have some cadre of shrieking "feminists" saying its somehow equivalent to "violence against women."

Heh, heh.
Some guy called Patty Murray, a candidate for the Senate in WA (I think) a "mom in tennis shoes" and taunted that she couldn't "change anything."
She made the 'mom in tennis shoes' thing into a campaign slogan, and got elected.

The equation of those bitter dunderheads, who, harmful as they may be in their limited sphere of influence, are still merely a bunch of academic chairwarmers, with the evil people who killed some 20 million innocent people, is absurd.
It's good he got some help for his OxyContin problem. Before he coined that tripe, he must have had a load on.
Oh, by the way, who are "you people"? You mean, I actually belong to something? I hope there aren't dues to belong, cause I'm in arrears.
Ted Haggard thinks that three weeks is enough and he can come back to his flock again.
I really hope the flock looks hard and long. This man is either a bisexual or a homosexual -- there are no two ways about it. You don't get "cured" of homosexuality in three weeks. If there was a three week cure, there are millions of homosexuals who would sign up for it.
No such cure exists.
