Who's in your club
It was a bit surprising to see a listing for a GLBT event in my local daily newspaper. Which is known for it's 50's era adherence to conservative Republican values.
But it had be pondering. As I'm wont to do.
How do the G's, L's, B's and T's like being lumped in together. The first two have clearly made decisions about how they want to lead their lives. Agreed? The B's want to have it both ways. And the T's? They're just horribly confused. Poor souls.
Anyway. Did they have a vote to be included under the same not-an-acronym-but-rather-just-an-abreviation umbrella? As Ween says, there are many colors in the homo rainbow.
This brought to mind a favorite story (similar to Todd's "You're a Sheriff" story:A woman at work took her dog to get its picture taken with Santa Claus at the pet store. She brought it in to work, complaining that it wasn't what she had in mind. A friend of hers, a flamboyantly gay man, took it on himself to use Photoshop to remove the "inappropriate Santa" and replace him with a new one. The "inappropriate Santa" wasn't white. What a brotherfucker.
Also, where the fuck did the term "in (my/his/her/your) wheelhouse" come from. It has developed an alrming ubiquity. It makes me want to punch people. With my fists. Hard.

Being violent doesn't seem to be in your wheelhouse.

I certainly don't. In my experience, the decision to suck a cock or toss a salad is made for you, by your cellmate and a large group of his randy cohorts.

Also, I can't believe that Quadrophenia isn't somewhere on the fuck-list.
9:27 AM
BA - I agree. Poorly written. The author is an idiot.
And Quadrophenia is the outdated term. The current one is "Cincinnati Four Way".
P.S. May I have your salad recipe?

i think "the man" grouped them together so he could keep his sex perverts all in one room.
though he conveniently missed out on the nambla sect...
does this mean "the man" is a pedophile? i think the logic is there.
2:42 PM
I don't even know what a wheelhouse is.
Also, I don't think the T's should be grouped with G,L and B. They're not attracted to the SAME sex; they're attracted to the opposite sex only they are trapped in the wrong body.
Wait, am I really just a gay transvestite man trapped in a woman's body? If a woman is trapped in a man's body yet is attracted to women, should she opt to keep the man's body for convenience sake?
I'm confusing myself. Maybe I'm a B.
My word verification is "suckzm". I wish I were making that up.

I had a great thing to say until I saw my word verification - lzbins - and then I forgot what I was going to say.
9:54 AM
I think Sysm is controlling his word verification.
2:20 AM
If that's true, then "tnsnmd" must be code for something.
12:49 AM
I love you Sysm, but I have to say that speaking as a B, I've always been a bit annoyed by the whole "wanting to have it both ways" thing. I happen to get turned on by both men and women. That doesn't make me indecisive, greedy, or incapable of maintaining a monogamous relationship.
As for the Ts, you should check out this amazing series. My experience has generally been that those who are transgendered are not at all confused about their gender identity - they are sure that they were born with the wrong gender, and go through an incredibly hard time whether they transition to the other gender or not.
Oh, and I never minded being lumped in with the Gs, Ls, and Ts. We were all queer, one way or another.
Lecture over.
My word verification: giltbd. Is that gilt bed or guilt bad?

Hi Kids -
I suppose I should be a little less glib about things.
My point was, this is a pretty broad spectrum of non-straight sexual behaviors. And I think it kind of does them all a disservice to lump them under one umbrella, much as it is insulting to label all non-whites "minorities".
To BA's point. Yep, I'm totally in the "nature" camp on this one.
And Tits - Gay/Straight/Hermaphrodite/Half-caf-half-decaf, I could really give a fuck. I love everybody. Especially you. I was not trying to offend.
I'm sorry if I did.
I suppose I should cancel my post about the evil Lutheran cabal ruining the fall tv season.

By the way, your word verifications:
Ubie (suckzm): that was meant as a request to the Sysmistress.
Brooke (lzbins): if I had that much control over the internet, I would be worshipped as a false priest.
My guesses on the others:
Nick (tnsnmd): Tonight Nick swam near Moby Dick?
Tits (giltbd): God, I love to be dominant?
1:10 PM
Nick "swims near Moby Dick" every night.
4:58 PM
Fucking A.
Also, does B stand for Badass? Cause, if so, I'm totally B.
6:09 PM
Actually, I'm a bottom.
*giggles*
Also, I love you and your glibness and your interest in making sure no one's toes were stepped on. I was not offended, because I knew your heart was in the right place.
I hope the Sysmstress forks over that blow job for you, baby. Because I know how much you hate them.
4:54 AM
goodness.
people who pay to have their pet's picture taken with santa scare me.

The wheelhouse thing is a baseball term, referring to a batters swing radius.
A wheelhouse is where the big wheel that steers a big ship (like a paddlewheel) resides.
For what it's worth.
