please do not denigrate this thread.

i intend this as serious/honest/trying to understand human nature discussion.

i have a very close family member who is bi-sexual.

I might be wrong in this, but sometimes I get the impression that Junction Guy hasn't met many gay people, and that he might have a had a bad experience with the ones he has. It's just a hunch...
Lifestyle - wrong choice of word I'd say, but understand where you're coming from.
I'm in a monogomous relationship with a man. Our life looks a lot like the lives of other couples we're friends with friends, gay and straight. I have friends who have promiscuous sex, gay and straight. I have friends who are into fetishistic sex, gay and straight. Gay people aren't the 'other', they're the pretty much the same as you - dull/funny/freakish/ordinary/religious/agnostic etc. etc.

Ever since you introduced me to dinky dust I've been using liberally, it's changed my life. Thank you.
I think that SITC is the 21st Cent Jane Austen, neither of which I take particularly seriously, both of which are entertaining. The nice thing about the big screen is it revealed just how truly awful some of their acting is - Chris Noth in particular. Token nod to racial diversity and slanderous references to mexican hygiene we a bit embarrassing.

But at least the fight scene gave us a chance for a good look at the Vivienne Westwood dress - although I think she should have chosen the Dior. And her clothes got way cooler after the break-up. It really is vacuous trashy nonsense that's rather pleasurable.

Appearance of 2 straight guys walking together

i noticed the other day that i saw 2 straight guys walking together in the neighborhood, will that give you a impression that they are gay?
scotsman

Sheesh.
Men here don't seem to have the same hangups that American men do. I recall an American guy telling me it was gay to cross your legs at the knee, now it's walking down the street... at last, we're all gay!

Why do we debate this ad-nausea?
Because it remains an unsettled (and apparently unsettling) issue for Americans.

Just so we're clear here, I'm not particularly un-welcoming to gay people, they can eat over my house for all I care, I'll treat them the same as others in my travels. I just don't think they are = in the realm of marriage and what I consider normal, with respect to their private lives. Nature(for all you athiests) didn't intend it.

Have you seen "The Orphanage" (horror/suspense)?
by Nathan Natas in

at the end of 2007 a spanish film was released titled "the orphanage.

it got good reviews, and i enjoy spooky movies (though i haven't seen one yet that i've confused with reality), so i bought a copy of the dvd yesterday.

i thought it was quite good, built good tension, kept me in suspense, and didn't go hog-wild with gore.. here's the official site.

I was rather let down by the end, but it was pretty taught throughout. Pan's Labyrinth was fantastic (by Guillermo del Toro like the Devil's Backbone).
