Thank you for your quick reply akenaton :-)

Nopes: not easily confused unless my blonde genes kick in. Oops! Just another stereotype rattling around in my head ;-)

"I am not upset by anyones sexuality, but I do get upset when a patently unhealthy lifestyle (both physically and psychologically) is promoted in our schools and society, as safe and healthy "

You see, I don't actually come across anything patently unhealthy being promoted in our schools. I don't think sexuality is something you can promote. It's a natural trait.

But then many patently unhealthy lifestyles are out there in society, being shown as safe and healthy, and one only needs to see some of the advertising that promotes it. Being uber thin, drinking strong beers, driving cars at breakneck speeds on open roads and in towns, playing loud folk music through earphones on the latest super bass player! Put simply, I am trying to say there are many things out there that are unsafe and unhealthy and that are for many everyday lifestyle CHOICES. Perhaps we could all be better emplyed trying to change some of those things for the better instead of putting down a group of individuals in society who have no choice for who they are.

I fear we may just need to agree to disagree our own feelings on this as I can see you are as likely stuck in your own mould as I am in mine. My position/opinion is as stated and I cannot apologise for that even though it is my choice to hold it.

best wishes once again
