This seems to be the situation in France too.  My boyfriend Alex told
me he avoided having to do National Service by acting very
effeminately (and eccentrically) at the interview.  They recommended
him for psychiatric examination, which in practice meant that he was
sent to a hospital where he was ignored for a few days and then sent
home.  Several of his friends managed similarly, some of them showing
up in drag.

I should add that it is not very difficult to evade the draft here.
The Army has more draftees than it knows what to do with and is not
particularly upset about having to turn them away.  It seems to me
that most French people think National Service is a stupid idea, and
the only plausible reason I've heard for its retention is that the
Government would face an immediate increase in unemployment if it were
ended.  On the other hand it's taken so much for granted that French
people routinely ask me if I have done my National Service in Ireland.
They are very surprised when I tell them that it doesn't exist and that
I consider the idea to be an infringement of basic liberties.

>Is this belief correct?

A wise man once said "all things are true".

In general, the "nature/nurture" controversy will not have a simple
answer. There is some evidence to indicate there is a genetic basis
for heterosexuality, and there is some evidence to indicate that there
is not. It seems likely that genetics could influence sexual
orientation, but it also seems likely that genetics do not determine
sexual orientation. No simple answer.

There's another relevant question here - does it matter how sexual
orientation is determined? If I want to be a star-bellied sneech,
don't I deserve the same respect as if I chose to be a star-bellied
sneech?

>Like a heterosexual relationship, do homosexual relationships
>generally have male and female roles...the more dominant individual
>portraying a male role?

The short answer is "no, not generally".

The long answer is much more fruitful, actually. There are several
deep issues underlying the question you raised:

What are "female roles"? 
What are "male roles"?
Why are "dominant individuals" playing "male roles"?
Why do heterosexual relationships have "male and female roles"?

My claim is that trying to fit the notions of masculine/feminine to
any sort of relationship is dangerous, and applying it to homosexual
relationships is completely inappropriate. I think that one can never
properly say "that gay man is masculine" or "that gay man is not
masculine". We had a rather lofty discussion about this a few months
ago on soc.motss. I've saved a bit of the exchange, if you're
interested.

Now if you're really asking about sex, and you're equating "male role"
to be "penetrator", and "female role" to be "penetratee", then we can
have more fun talking about it :-). Again, I think the answer is
basically "no", although many gay men express a preference for one
role or the other in anal sex.

   Notice how the strongest supporters of boycotting Colorado live outside the

   What should those of us who live here do? "Suffer for the cause?" I voted
against #2. That about the extent of my political power. I would love to starve
to ensure that it's overturned, but unfortunately idealistic wishes sometimes
have to take a back seat to reality.

As I recall, we (vicious little white middle class brats who would
pounce upon hapless passers by and do unspeakable things to them)
used 'Smear the Queer' to mean essentially 'Smear the Geek.'  I did
not equate the word 'queer' with homosexuality until relatively
recently.  I still think it's an ugly word, and don't use it to
mean 'gay' or 'homosexual.'

When we (vicious little white middle class brats) wanted to 
communicate 'homosexual' in a negative way, we used 'homo' or
'faggot' - thus the game would have been 'Smear the Faggot.'  

And it should be noted that 'Smear the Queer' was not a particularly
vicious sport (at least to my circle of vicious white middle class
brats).  It typically involved poking, tickling, grabbing, rubbing...
oohhh, I'm getting all hot and bothered...  and was not a sport
designed to cause serious physical harm.  Equating in to 'gay-bashing'
is silly.

Hi Jim,
    I *CANNOT* post to soc.motss, but you might pass this on. Not only
will they try to use the UCMJ sodomy statutes against gays, the word is
out that will try to use the "False Official Statements" offense against
gays and lesbians who come out after the ban is lifted, since they did
sign a statement when they entered the service that they were not gay.
Gays in the closet in the military should stay there even after the ban
is lifted unless they want lots of trouble.
    Not related, but on Friday I listened to an O-5 carry on for an hour
on how that Navy guy who got reinstated is part of a "large,
well-financed, plot to destroy the military". No kidding. That's what a

The last line of this ammendment specifically stated that it was self-enacting,
requiring no legislative implementation.  In any event, it's a restraint -
it overturned existing local law and prevented action by the government, so
there really aren't any laws to pass anyway.

Arguably, Denver can choose to enforce its anti-discrimination law until 
it is sued and the law is declared unconstitutional, but as of right now,
anyone who wants to discriminate can.  They will win their case on appeal,
and be the instrument of the law's overturn.

Colorado Memory Systems, makers of the "Jumbo" tape backup system for PCs,
was recently acquired by Hewlett-Packard.  CMS is located in Loveland,
Colorado.  As part of the acquisition, CMS employees are being covered
by HP's policies including HP's policy on discrimination based on sexual
orientation which basically says you can't (discriminate).

So, if you're in the market for a tape backup system made by a queer-friendly
company, you can consider CMS products.

boycott].

One thing you should be aware of (we should all be aware of;  it's
pretty horrible) is that a lot of kids today use "gay" as an all-purpose
synonym for "bad".  They'll say "that's so gay" in a situation where I
and my friends in our youth might have said "that's so stupid".  So
maybe it's partly about the associations the word has in his circle.
