Tell me, Trish, (and other homosexuals), do you think if you had found the "perfect" MOTOS before you had decided to declare your homosexuality, you would have become homosexuals? (Heterosexuals can answer that question also if they wish, making the appropriate substitutions.) As for me, I'll answer my own question. If I had met a man who I developed a very close relationship with, but who wanted to enter into a sexual relationship with me, I would have politely, and as understandingly as I know how, told him that I was not that kind of person, that I would rather have him as a friend than as a lover, and hope that we could still be friends. As of this moment, no man has ever approached me in that fashion. Still ~300 messages behind, but catching up! -- Those who know me have no need for my name.
