Not St. Leo's ... St. ELMO'S Bookstore ... and it is out of the way.

Also try Jay's Bookstall on Fifth Avenue near the University of Pittsburgh.

Both also have a nice selection of gay and lesbian fiction although St. Elmo's
has an *ENTIRE* room in the back dedicated to gay and lesbian fiction,
non-fiction and erotica.

I saw one in a St. Louis antique store just yesterday.  Well, actually I

The funny thing is that it was loaded with ornaments for sale, but there was
a big sign on the tree itself that said "NOT FOR SALE".  (sigh...)

I was at a S.Q.U.I.S.H.* meeting a couple of weeks ago, and one
of the kids there told me that he read that issue of Newsweek
with the cover story of "Gay's Under Fire."  On it, there was
a photo of someone holding up a sign that said "God Hates Gays"
with a bible citation.  The boy told me that he went to the
school library and looked through the bibles there, but couldn't
find the anti-homosexuality quote referenced.

I thought that some of the people on soc.motss may have wondered
exactly what these quotes were, so I'm posting them below:

(* S.Q.U.I.S.H. stands for Strong Queers United In Stopping

King James Version

1.  LEVITICUS 18:22

     "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind:  it is
abomination."

2.  LEVITICUS 20:13

     "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,
both of them have commmitted an abomination:  they shall surely
be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

3.  DEUTERONOMY 23:17

     "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a
sodomite of the sons of Israel."

4.  I KINGS 14:24

     "And there were also sodomites in the land:  and they did
according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord
cast out before the children of Israel."

5.  ROMANS 1:26-27

     "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:  for
even their women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature:  And likewise also the men, leaving the natureal use
of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with
men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves
that recompense of their error which was meet."

6.  CORINTHIANS 6:9-10

     "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the king-
dome of God?  Be not deveived:  neither fornicators, nor idolators,
nor adulterers, not effeminate, nor abusers of themselvs with
mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners shall inherit the kindom of God."

7.  TIMOTHY 1:9-10

     "Knoking this, that the law is not made for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sin-
ners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for
them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for
liars, for perjeured persons, and if there be any opther thing that is
contrary to sound doctrine."

Hmm, well when I was trying to count the number of openly gay mayors in the

By the way, in my previous post about openly-gay Mayors I forgot to mention
Richard Heyman (Key West, FL) so there are now FOUR openly gay Mayors in the 
USA. Maybe someone should write that paper?

Well, yes, I do, for one.  However, I also see NIFUWAF (to make the
acronym pronounceable, however risibly) as a pretty weak simplification.
Freedom is poorly defined, and the statement is unverifiable speculation
anyway.  We've been around this mulberry bush before, but I want to
reiterate that I think "freedom" is not an absolute goal, or an
inalienable, all-or-nothing right.  Neither NIFUWAF, nor similar
slogans, nor libertarianism for that matter, seem to me to provide a
sufficiently realsitic political view in general, or queer political
view in particular, because they all (IMHO) take insufficient account of
human nature and group dynamics.

Quotas are also not at issue, as far as I can observe, through the
majority of queer circles.  It's a false projection of the intent of
anti-discrimination legislation.  Quotas have been applied to other
groups in other situations, and I have no intention of getting into the
correctness of that in this group.  However, I feel quotas are entirely
inappropriate for queers; I think most other queers agree with that, and
I don't see any sizeable group calling for them.

You don't know me, and I don't think anyone who did would
begin to think that my question about sex clubs was a question
about "how do two women do it without dicks".  You had said

And I remembered the poster I had seen on the way to work that morning
advertising a place with a lesbian backroom, and I remembered wondering
what that would be like, and thinking about the stereotypes of female
sexuality and lesbian sexuality that would make me think that it would
be cleaner and less sleazy, or "wearing birkinstocks and whining about
the patriarchy", then thinking that some of the lesbians I knew
were pretty sleazy, and getting to the point that I realized I had no
way of guessing.  So I asked the question.  Was that out of line?
I'm sure I'll have other questions on other subjects, but that was 
the one I had at that moment.  

I don't particulary enjoy being reduced to the stereotype of a
leering straight man when I ask a question about lesbian sexuality,

   Then again, I also think it is inappropriate to discuss heterosexual

It's a little too easy to forget that most forms of heterosexual sex
ARE sodomy.  Check the definition sometime!  Some laws have gone so
far as to define sodomy as "any touching of any of the following:
mouth/penis, mouth/vagina, hand/penis, hand/vagina, (any of
these)/anus", etc.

So teaching about homosexuality is no more the teaching of sodomy than
is teaching about heterosexuality...

You should remember the "Gritty Kitty Litter" episode, where Stimpy runs
off to Hollywood without Ren.  Ren has a picture of Stimpy next to his
bed and can't stand to look at it.  By the end of the episode, they're
both nervous wrecks because they've been apart so long.  Stimpy comes
back home because he misses his "best friend" so much.
