If Mr. Erase Hate thinks the radical gay crowd is so hip and enjoys their company so much, it shouldn't surprise him his kids turned out gay.

Dennis has been a good interlocutor, and I think there should be a bit more consideration for the delicacy of his position (I am talking to you too, Charles!).....

I wonder if it's considered hip to that same small minority to play with gerbils? :-)

<<The analogous behavior of straights would be to parade down the street half-naked with guys fondling women's breasts and women fondling vibrators and grasping guys' penises. I haven't seen that kind of straight behavior lately, have you?>>
No, although I have been in public places and seen men fondling women's asses. Even in such places like art museums. Was not a parade but it was in public.

<<It is intellectually dishonest to suggest that gays in the gay pride parade are just acting out like straights.>>
That is not what i said at all. You are twisting my words and putting words in my mouth. I said "Do straights ever get drunk and rowdy and do things not accepted by society. Yes they do." Do straights ever get drunk for example and urinate in public? That is not socially acceptable. Do you agree? Also I would never suggest that gays in the pride parade are acting like straights. That would be ludicrous on my part.

<<How do you know how hip I am and whether I'm jealous of anyone?>>
You said "it's simply a matter of flaunting their lifestyle in the faces of not-so-hip straight America". You are straight so you must be in the not-so-hip straight America. I am only using your words. I have no idea how hip you are. Finally I asked "Are you jealous that you are not as hip as the gay crowd?" Please note that this is a question and not a statement. I never said you were jealous - I asked you if you were. A simple no would have been sufficient.

Erase Hate,
Dennis

Originally I said no to your question. I am changing my answer to yes now. They call it Mardi Gras and it happens every year just before Lent and it goes on for days.

Getting old is terrible - I should have remembered this right off the bat. Another senior moment!!!

Erase Hate,
Dennis
