Ever since Ungay Gay raised its resolutely straight-acting head,
I've been paying attention to personal ads.  In the current
LA Weekly, for instance, is the following:

     WHERE R ALL those goodlooking, straightacting, football-
     baseball-women loving, R n' R listening, Sunday Margarita
     afternoon drinking, spontaneous partying guys like
     myself?  Call Box # ...

I don't know.  Where r they?  

My favorite, though, is this:

This reminds me of this months issue of SPY in which they test out
various celebrities' pickup lines. Warren Beatty's "Make a pass at
me" was evidently a clear winner. I personally liked another successful
line, by writer Anthony Haden-Guest, "God meant for us to be naked
together." And even though Peter Gallagher's "I like to wear rubber
underwear" was not a winner with the ladies, it would have worked on
me. But it got me to wondering about effective pickup lines in a
queer setting. There is a coffee place near school that is like
queer central and I can't resist the urge to while  away part of
the afternoon. There are several guys there I would seriously like
to know better, but can't bring up the courage to talk to them.
I've given some serious thought to trying one of these lines on them.
    I'm also wondering if anyone has any other effective lines. And
I hope that these other guys feel as JNS does about coming out and
saying what's on your mind. I can't take much more of just
sight-seeing.

In a somewhat depressing counterbalance to this, today's Trib also has

     United Methodist pastors in Indiana have been told to refrain
     from ceremonies involving homosexuals that "resemble the rite
     of marriage"...

... apparently, some poor Hoosier Methodists got upset after a gay male
couple exchanged rings in church, in a July ceremony in Indianapolis.

Some 'phobe minister whose name I won't bother to type complained that

>an instance and _a posteriori_.

I realize that I also have an opinion on taste. It is based,
in part, on a paper on taste acquisition in children.
There was a study on the acquisition of taste preferences for
an unfamiliar food using children as the subjects. The food
chosen was tofu, and it was presented to children in three subject
groups as either, plain, salted, or sweetened. The results showed
that while the children did not particularly care for the tofu
on initial exposure, after repeated exposure to the variety of their
subject group, they developed a preference (a taste, if you will)
for that particular variety of tofu, and an aversion for the other
varieties. (The interested reader can read more about this and
other experiments in:
    Booth, David. 1990. Learned role of tastes in eating motivation.
           In, "Taste, Experience, and Feeding", E.D. Capaldi and
           T.L. Powley (eds.) American Psychological Assn: Washington, D.C.

Clearly, while some may argue to the contrary, there is no right
or wrong to eat tofu (if at all). Similarly, I believe that
tastes, in general, cannot be right or wrong. It may be that your
preference for a particular body type, odor, etc. is based on
your first few exposures. In subsequent exposures, you are likely
to reinforce that preference by choosing the person that conforms
to your tastes. Unless this strategy yields a bad experience, you
may never develop a taste for different persons.
     The above experiment also suggests that one can develop new
tastes by several exposures to a novel stimulus. Notice that this
does not require you to give up any of your old tastes and preferences.
Unlike prejudice, in which exposure to different experiences may
result in a re-evaluation of past positions, holding a variety
of differing tastes does not give rise to contradictions.
     I don't know if I really contributed anything to the discussion
but I think that perhaps the inherent possibility for contradiction
in the case of prejudice and the ability to have several different
tastes/preferences simultaneously (witness Arnold Z) may serve as adu!anderson
rubric for deciding between the two. As a final note, however, I want
point out that both are modifiable.

I think my favorite virginity lost so far was that of flying for the first

(Actually , the Con was such an intense week for me in part because I
lost my virginity in so many ways there; no, not in the sexual sense,
because I didn't do anything sexual I hadn't done before (though I
*did* have sex a couple of times with people I'd never had sex with
before 8D~), but... Jesus. My first time:

Flying.
Experiencing airline food.
Using a moving walkway.
In Portland.
Meeting all those people face to face.
Hearing Romanavsky & Phillips.
Driving through a mountanous, heavily-forested area.
Wearing handkerchiefs as headgear.
Hot springs hot-tubbing (nude, no less).
Eating Indian food.
Tasting vegitarian hamburgers.
Being in a large group of people and feeling like I could have *any*
	*one* of them if I really put my mind to it (*very* egotist-
	ical of me, but...)
Marching for my rights.
Doing the nude beach thing.
Seeing an uncut cock other than my own (two of 'em, even) (in person,
	anyway).
Pursuing a guy, rather than being pursued. (I was successful! Yay!)
*Discussing* with someone the possibility of my getting down their

Realizing how much more competent I've become in social situations

Dim-Summing.
Sucking chicken feet.
Seeing the Ocean.
Seeing a Fucking Big Tree.

I'm sure I've forgotten many of them; I know I ate lots and lots of
things I'd never eaten before.

(I really *must* wrap up my con stories sometime...))
