You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And what about straight men and parental contention?(not that I'm expecting to find logic in this bullshit) but it seems to me that a lot of young guys get competitive with their fathers...

He lobbied to have the definition changed to that ("The study of *me*! Sweet!"), but the OED laughed at him.

I'm also amazed at how completely gay women are being ignored in this debate.
But then Queen Victoria set that precedent, I suppose.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, the Bible mentions male homosexuality five times, but doesn't mention lesbianism at all.

Apparently yelling at UPS is good for my blood pressure. I had one last (and fruitless) attempt to get my package re-routed, then I had to go for a blood pressure check. And my BP wasn't just in the acceptable borderline range, but it was normal. I guess I should start every day venting some spleen. Okay maybe my Dr.'s adjustment to my meds had something to do with it.

I think I knew that - although it's been pretty clear what fundamentalists I've known have thought of me being a practising* gay type. (One well-meaning lady at a church I used to attend, upon overhearing me mentioning my partner's name, actually offered to introduce me to an 'ex-gay' group she was involved with. My response being a hole in the church door that bore an uncanny resemblance to me.)
*The obligatory 'I do not need to practice - I'm rather good at it' joke goes here.

There's an awful lot of misogyny wrapped up in Dobson's brand of homophobia - I think lesbians genuinely don't occur to him because he's so wrapped up in the idea of MEN ARE AWESOME, therefore SEX WITH MEN IS PROBABLY ALSO AWESOME, therefore IT IS SCARY AND PROBABLY ADDICTIVE AND THEREFORE IS WRONG.

I think that's what I was trying to get at. Women are invisible in his doctrine. In more than one way - see his comment about 'outgrowing' mothers.
