Guess what, this morning I was watching the local news, Rockville, MD., on Channel 25, which must be a CBS or ABC affilitate. During the programming I was surprised to find that a commercial appeared for Brokenback Mountain...

What?

I don't know movie previews to be shown in the morning.

This compare to the programming on Foxnews, cable, which had a commercial for Country Music - artists like Aaron Tippen - this guy is far from gay.

Having said that, I'm not harsh with the gay crowd. I am actually accomodating to an extent - this most likely since I grew up in Austin, Tx.

I just don't want them to be beaten in the streets like they are in Eastern Europe. There if they protest they are beaten. Machismo is everywhere.

But what gets me is that conservatives refuse to see that we are in a culture war so they play nice.

Another infuriating News special happened a few years ago. It must have involved Katie Coric .... She had a panel of young girls discussing sex and teenage years. They all had the same opinion so it wasn't much of a discussion.

They all stated that being virgins isn't really important to them. The adults in the panel and audience remained silent and agreed with a nod.

It was really an embarrassing moment for me. I was ashamed to be human.

But there is hope on the horizon for these dirty disgusting teenage boys and girls... MTV is promoting that the young should get HIV tested. What would we do without MTV?

: )

I could be wrong, but I think that it will be important later, and the next generation will be more moral (for lack of a better word...)

Look at the 'free love' period in the late 60s and early 70s. Contrast that with the late 80s and early 90s. I dunno who was having the free love during that time frame, but it wasn't me or any of my friends. If nothing else, we were all scared to death of the 70s legacy...Herpes, AIDS, etc etc etc.

Contrast that again with the hook-up mentality of today. People - girls and boys, both, will eventually get tired of either being or having disposable sex partners. Add this to the fact that STDs (including AIDS, and believe-it-or-not, Syphillis) are making a comeback, and I think that the next generation is primed for a little more purity.

At least, that's what I think.

I never really understood beating up gay guys. For the straight man, they take themselves and another guy out of the cometition to get women. If guys want to beat someone, they should go after the lesbians. They take themselves and another women out of availability. /just kidding
