Is it possible that people are saying that because gays don't have the overhead of heterosexual relationships that have more time to be poets, and painters, and writers etc. I don't know for sure if this is what's being said, but if it is thne in somebody's immortal words I say POPPYCOCK. Since when does anybody (read that ANYBODY) have the market cornered on all this good stuff. I don't know for sure wether or not gays provide any extra value to family units by being able to care for siblings rather than having their own families. It seems to me that any person who chooses not to have a family (or for medical reasons cannot have one) can fulfill this role regardless of their sp (sexual persuasion). To say that any of the things that have or have not been attributed to gays makes them more or less creative is ridiculous. I'm sure that there have been really busy people who have found the time to be creative etc. Busilly yours Paul Maioriello pyuxll!pjm
