That explains it.

What "GUEST,curious reader" wrote just above is totally inconsistent with what I know to be the feelings of gay people that I am acquainted with.

I find that I am able to discuss these matters with a couple of gay friends quite openly. One of these friends is a very good writer and a member of a writers' group that meets at our apartment on the second Sunday afternoon of every month. I presume he will be coming on Feb. 8th, so I will print off what "GUEST,curious reader" wrote, show it to him, and see what he says about it.

If this thread is still going by then, I'll report back.
