I don't know. I guess considering he's in the home stretch anyway, it'd
be a bit risky to pursue it. It just seems that there should be something
he could do about it. But then, that's assuming the world's a fair place,
something that's pretty stupid to do. *sigh*. I guess all I can say is
buck up, space them off, become a rich and powerful queer and crush them
at a later date.

The only relevant thing I can think of is a quote from A.C.C.
that was included in Leigh Rutlege's _Unnatural Quotations_:

"Of course. Who hasn't? Good God! If anyone had ever told me
that he hadn't, I'd have told him he was lying. But then,
of course, people tend to `forget' their encounters."
     -- Arthur C. Clarke, on being asked if he'd ever had
        any "bisexual experience."

Which rather reminds me of Harlan Ellison's comment that he'd
never had a gay man make a pass at him -- and wondered what
was wrong with HIM that it had never happened....(!)

   Her motivation doesn't matter.  As a point of reality, the event
happened, Perry and her two ladyfriends seemed to be both utterly
fascinated and sexually excited.  And as Brian and I watched, she and
her friends demonstrated in reply.

   And although I found the *watching* both fascinated and exciting, I
had no desire to join or interrupt them, and Perry told me afterwards
that she had felt the same way about Brian and I.

   And that, ultimately, may be the whole point behind the encounter.
It WAS hot to watch lesbians make love, but that identity was
important to the scene... they _were_ lesbians, and I had no desire to
interfere or change that.  Just as Brian and I were gays, and they had
no desire to interfere or change that.

I spent the weekend in Montreal after the Toronto con, and
the city seemed so _drab_ in a weird way.  I can't quite put my
finger on it, but it didn't have the spic-n-span quality of
Toronto, or much of the liveliness.  St. Catherine's street
(one of the so-called gay areas) seemed less of a neighborhood
and more like a few gay sex shops in an undistinguished, seedy area.

Now, granted, this was just a very limited impression.
I want to go back to get a better one, but I was less
impressed than I'd expected to be.

But in the matter of accents, my own impression is that no

I've found that no matter how many times I take people around Vegas and out
to the dam and mountains that it's always new. The people I'm with color my
experiences with their own personalities. This is where I get most of my

Date: 17 Apr 92 03:12:33 GMT
Organization: CS Dept. Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon.

I had heard that Perot was to be on Larry King this evening.  I am
very interested in voting for him, but wanted to know his position
on Gay rights.  I found out the phone # in advance and called the
show just before Larry announced the number.  An operator answered
and asked my for my question, and where I was calling from.  He
then told me "You may have to hold awhile before you can ask your
question.  Can you do this?"  I said yes.  I held through two
segments.  During the commercial after the second segment the operator
came back on line and said "The issue of gay rights will be raised
in the next segment, but thanks for calling." and immediately dis-
connected me!  I was on hold for twenty minutes long-distance and
he hung up!  I wasn't angry just yet though--I called my friends and
told them to watch because Perot was going to discuss gay rights in
the next segment.  Well, the topic didn't come up in that segment.
It did not come up in ANY segments!  They took other calls, but
apparently mine was no good!  About the only interesting civil-rights
related insight from the program was that Perot is a member (though
he does not attend often) of a country club that exclues blacks and
jews.  I'm not sure what to make of this.  He offered what might
be considered a "reasonable" explanation, but it lacked sensitivity.  In
any case, at least he was quite honest in his response.

You'd think with another call from S.F. and one from Hollywood that
somewhere, somehow, the gay rights issue would have come up.  Oh well.
Does anyone know what his position is?

PS: As a student at OSU in broadcasting, I have produced several local
call-in shows for cable TV and we have one rule:  People with intelligent
questions rarely call.  If you get one, don't dump 'em no matter what!
Especially ones who call in early!  Arrgh!

To those who are still reading: Thanks for taking the time to listen
to my angry rantings.  Now back to your regular drivel...
