Gay, lesbian couples can teach heterosexuals how to improve relationships: U of Wash

What a load of crap! I've been married for thirteen years and I resent the gays who tell me that they are much better at relationships.

[Polonius]

I think these doctors are really Crab People.

I was going along, reading this article, when suddenly it struck me how absurd all this is--as I remembered ever so long ago, sitting on a French Quarter balcony late at night, and hearing two men, clearly a couple, having a heated argument which grew until weapons (bags, shoes) began to be brandished. Louder, louder, louder, more obscene, and then the police finally got there, several bruises and one broken window pane later.

Then I remembered the sad lesbian lawyer I knew way back in about 1985. She'd used to be the Number One of one of my bosses, who was also a lesbian (obviously); but she'd had to extricate herself from the relationship b/c the other woman battered her severely more than once. And yes, "extricate" was the word she used.

I know of a few other incidents, too. In one of which a gay man was shoved against a glass pane by his lover, and ended up cut badly enough that he had to go to the hospital and get stitches. On the bright side, those two are still together and seem to be doing much better.

Obviously people don't go around bragging about stuff like this. And obviously, there are many male-female couples in which this occurs--heaven knows, we hear about them ad nauseam. Notice, however, that on one of the tabloids this week, they are featuring the dirt on fights that Roy & Siegfried have had during their relationship. Congrats, Roy & Siegfried! You've finally arrived! The media are beginning to treat you like heteros--airing your dirty laundry, and generally acting like what you do is somehow unnatural. Ain't being in the mainstream great, guys?

Looks like that account (GOPLUVSANAL) has been banned...

Can they give us home decorating tips too?

Another Odd Couple

[radiohead]

I know what you mean about the revolving door relationships. I've seen it time after time. One of my best friends lost a long term relationship because he couldn't keep it in his pants. When his partner found out, he left. My friend hasn't had a long term relationship since then and is very lonely (nothing worse than an old gay guy).

However, one of the family members I'm thinking of was w/her partner for 50+ years, until she died. They never brought up their lifestyle and her partner is treated like a member of the family.

As I stated, I think the older people knew how to mind their own business. These younger gays are so intent on being outrageous that they miss the few opportunities for real relationships that come their way.

[Jeff Chandler]

At least the television Odd Couple were intentionally funny.

What would happen to his mathematical results if the homo samples were taken from San Quentin or Folsom Prison?

International Healing Foundation

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Great site.

I see one of the articles quotes Kee MacFarlane, the therapist at the center of the McMartin/satanic abuse debacle.

After what she went through, I wouldn't have been surprised if she had retired to Guam.

[Zipporah]

This certainly hasn't been what I've witnessed. The gay couples (male) that I know have very violent relationships.

[xzins]

I'm not surprised. His name itself violated FR policy.

This...AND we lost big to USC yesterday. A banner weekend at the ol' UW.

Ein schonde!

What is it with these freaks that compels them to swathe themselves in other people's religious symbols?

It's the new happy-happy, I'm OK you're OK American religion, where all you have to say is "God loves me because I'm a nice person and that's all that matters."

Being a good Jew then, like the two fruits in the picture probably believe they are, means thinking that and eating some lox and bagels. Being a good Catholic means wearing a crucifix, hitting Mass on Easter and Christmas, and abstaining from meat on Fridays during Lent.

For the "newer gays", as you referred to them, everything about their sexuality is for political purposes. Political, meaning to make some sort of point.

Gay, lesbian couples can teach heterosexuals how to improve relationships: U of Wash

This is from "The Onion", isn't it?
(standard rhetorical comment on freakin', unbelievable stories/headlines).

But seriously, IIRC, both James Dobson ("Focus On The Family"; www.family.org) and other
Christian groups have had the bad manners to cite studies from (secular) scientific
journals and newspaper articles that show that even when gays are offered "gay marriage"
as in The Neatherlands, we find that the "marriage" lasts on average 1.5 years.

Of course, trying to explain the statistics of an institution to
someone with a gay agenda is just about hopeless...none so blind but those
who will NOT see.

Marriage between one man and one woman has always had problems...but as Churchill said about
democracy vs. all the other governmental models:
It beats all the other systems that have been tried.

Over Memorial Day weekend, here in Chicago, the International Mr. Leather event returned.

Not doubting...but please post if you can readily find any press documentation.

South Park Rules
See this weeks new episode.

If you are talking about the "Metrosexuals" episodes, I can attest that it's a screamer...
and I haven't even seen it.

A couple of days ago the early morning show on ESPN Sports Radio
(The Mike & Mikw Show) played the "Come Sail Away" song from the South Park Metrosexuals
episode.
I was howling with laughter!
