	I think it is interesting to note that those who
	are not gay and are in support of gays, *ALWAYS*
	state that they are NOT GAY.

Really?  *ALWAYS*??  Without exception???

You mean that any and everyone who failed to announce "I'm not gay, but..."
is, ipso facto, homosexual?

For your information, my friend, I do not fear, loath, cringe at the sight of,
etc., gay persons.  I feel gays should be allowed to seek their preferred means
of sexual expression, as long as they don't force themselves upon those who
are not interested.  I also hold the same view toward heterosexuals.  They,
too, should be free to seek their preferred means of sexual expression, as
long as they don't force, etc.

Rape, and just plain obnoxiousness and invasion of space, is a nasty thing
no matter *what* sex the victim is with respect to the attacker; and attacker
is just what the overly-aggressive person is, whether the case be forcible
rape or just some macho microcephalon making a pest of himself in a bar.

So what am I?  Homo, hetero, or something in between?  I know what I am; all
the people in my life (friends, relatives, MOTPSs) know what I am; and I
don't give a hoot in hell if anybody else guesses right or wrong!!!!!

Homosexual, heterosexual, male, female, black, white, sky-blue-green, who
cares?  Underneath the label is (surprise!) a HUMAN BEING.  Mirabile dictu.
