Could be. But he did sleep with her at least twice.
Or Barry might just be asexual, only into political power trips.
My daughter's friend Pascale is from Haitian parents and grew up in the black middle class on Long Island (dad's a banker and mom's a nurse). She starts grad school in September. She is stupidly die-hard for the poser (but I'm working on her).
She and my daughter argue about politics all the time. The other day I pulled up the pic in post #51. She took one look and said..."No kidding...he's on the DL."
I used to be a missing person finder, mostly runaways from flyover (they either hit NYC or LA). This was in the late 70s, early 80s. A fair number of the kids were gay. I got to know that world pretty well (it is empty and ugly). I knew the areas where the poser lived like my own backyard. If I ever walked into a room and saw those two on the couch as in the picture I would have done an immediate mental categorization....queers.
He is now bi-sexual. I still think his preference is men. MO and a family was needed for political reasons. He is too touchy feely with men. His coy demeanor around them. I have hundreds of photos showing this.
