John Woolley I cannot *believe* this homophobic "joke". What are we supposed to make of this gay bathroom prostitution? I certainly fail to see any humor, and find this propagating of hateful stereotypes extremely offensive. Please, if Catholics must go on bashing gays, do so in the privacy of your own churches, not on the net! Just two questions: (1) Do you understand that many of your readers are gay, or like gays, or both, and for that reason regard those values with contempt? (2) What was the "joke" doing in net.jokes? (3) When do we get the difference-between-a-Jew-and-a-pizza "joke"? ucbvax!brahms!weemba Matthew P Wiener/UCB Math Dept/Berkeley CA 94720
