'Life of the Party'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I don't find Willow problematic at all. Yes, she loved Oz - that was a true relationship. But she grew into adulthood, connected with Tara, and realized her true orientation. How's that problematic?
Why yes, I do identify with Willow's coming out story. New Moon Rising made me cry and cry with the trueness of it.
If I'm not homosexual and I have close friendships with homosexual men, that doesn't make them homosexual relationships.Of course not. Because they are platonic friendships.
This conversation has gotten to the point where I can't even tell what hair we're trying to split.
Unless there are outside social pressures saying whatever you are is wrong and you therefore feel the need to claim an identity which is not yours even though you aren't hurting anybody, because that's whack yo!
True that, DJ, which is why lately I identify more often as gay for political reasons. I've grown to love that look on some people's faces when they find out I have a GF. HA - YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD SPOT US!!!
Uh, wait, I reread and now sound foolish. I can claim gay cause I am in the longest relationship of my life with a woman. Anyway, ignore me and my cranky ramblings.

I thought splitting hairs was part of our mission statement.
Only if we do it naked.
While getting in each other's pants.
Does lack of pants make it easier (because no barriers) or harder (because... no pants) to get in 'em?

but that's not how they're using it. They're using it as a synonym for "monitor". Today on NPR they were talking about how they need to find a way to monitize (monetize?) internet content to make sure writers get paid for their work. I suppose it's possible they meant, "turn internet content into money" but I don't think so.
I'm not sure anyone is splitting hairs. It's all such a twisty and turny area anyway. I like the discussion though.
I used to think I was fairly open minded. I had no problem with gays and lesbians, and in fact stood in support. Then there were transvestites- that was new, but I learned. Then transexuals. Then swingers. Then polyamory(though I may have that reversed). But, I appreciate every chance to learn, understand and become more accepting.
Now, I think there's very little between consenting adults I don't accept on some level.
