HAY GUYS

Gay couples never bothered me, but my friend Marvin has a lot of stories of where you can't be if you are gay. In Houston, Texas, everywhere he went with his black lover, they would be stared at. Apparently, in Texas, it was a double whammy to be black and gay.

In Chicago, it isn't so bad. Hell, we have a neighborhood that is so gay it is called "Boy's Town".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

VitaPup actually does bring up a valid point. I can imagine a lot of people have never seen a gay couple show affection for each other, no matter how mild it may be. I just met a black girl this weekend who has never seen a white person before, and she couldn't help but stare and study.

I dunno. It be a double edged sword.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why is that I wonder?

I find this fascinating, because in Chicago, I see a lot more lesbian couples walking hand in hand and kissing more than the gay fellas. Unless you are in Boy's Town (where more than 80% of the population is gay male), I don't see it with the men. My homeboy Marvin, who is a gay man, says "Why would I want to hold hands in public? I may be gay but I'm still a dude." [for more info on Marvin, see my journal.] I don't see lesbians showing public affection often, but there definitely is a difference.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually I completely disagree. I used to work for Jay Robert Nash, who was a crime historian. Looking over his work, I came to realize almost all psychopaths (take my favorite, Gacy the birthday clown) and calculated murderers (my favorites again, Jack the ripper, Charles Manson) follow a psycological/sociological background that would lead them to their acts. I also saw my ex-girlfriend turn from carefree flower child in to a psychotic schizophrentic because of the sociological background she was placed in to.

As for homosexuality, I have seen children being raised to go both ways (no pun intended). I have seen two gay men raise a boy who ended up straight, and I have seen two lesbians raise two lesbian daughters. I think for homosexuality, it is a blend of nature and nuture, but how much of which is still a big ass mystery.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
