It is interesting that with all this talk about homosexuality, no one has
defined what it means to be a homosexual. Lusting for a MOTSS? Sexual
contact with a MOTSS? If you wish to say a person with a general preference 
for MOTSS, then what's the difference between homosexual and bisexual?

If any males out there in net land think that they would NEVER be attracted
to another male, I suggest you take look at some of the female impersonators
in the French Quarter of New Orleans. They're gorgeous. OK, let's say you
meet one of these people, "pick them up" thinking they're female, and "hop
in the sack" with them. Are you gay?

As a few people (too few) have said, why do you need to label yourself as either
being straight or gay? Most people don't like to be labeled or categorized by 
others, so why do you want to label yourself?  Can't you just say,"Gee I'm
sexually attracted to that person. I wonder if they'll go out with me."?

I think that those of you who feel uncomfortable around homosexuals of your
own sex, feel that way because of a possibly severally imbalanced attraction 
between the two of you, not because the other person is gay. Wouldn't you
feel uncomfortable if a MOTOS were very sexually attracted to you and you
were repulsed by the thought of fooling around with them?

(So that my friends and co-workers don't feel uncomfortable around me, I am 
not attracted to any males (who I know are males anyway). And yes, I know 
that I didn't define homosexual either. I have also left out any discussion of 
emotional attraction to avoid clouding the issue.)
