Summary: turn about is fair play


Congratulations on experiencing what gay people do everytime they read
the great "classics" of our time.  I suppose for some sexual orientation
labeling might be appropriate but would so much better if you could learn
to celebrate others sexuality.  Sort of like when I read most novels which
contain abundant depictions of heterosexuality -- I dont fint it
particularly exciting but certainly interesting -- and I certainly wouldn't
stop reading the book because it had too much heterosexuality in it.  If the
depictions were exceedingly graphic I might stop but because of the 
explicitness not the sex of the participants.  No, I don't accuse you
of being a flaming homophobe.  Yours was a honest question.  I might suggest
tthat you read the "20 questions to ask a heterosexual" that were previously
posted.  You may be close to a consciousness raising - go for it!!
