Well, I did ask him, but he just did a Jack Nicholson impersonation and said, "The truth? You can't handle the truth!"

But I'm pretty sure he's not gay.

Thanks so much for that Bardford. But now I'm a bit concerned for your physical safety. You won't be finding a gang of goons on your doorstep preparing to break your knees now that you've told the secret, will you?

I really do appreciate these responses. I was more than a little concerned by my friend's assessment of men in this regard. I was afraid he might have meant that there are no men who can be trusted or who can be counted upon to behave with integrity in their dealings with women. I certainly don't want to believe that.

And I would still love to hear what others have to say about this, as well.
