O.K., I'll admit it: I read it last night.  It was from an Advocate interview 
with Elizabeth Montgomery about her riding in the L.A. Pride parade with
Dick Sargent.  Major points were: she knew from day one that Sargent was
gay, she never talked to Agnes Moorehead about the subject, there are
more important things to be worried about than whether or not people think 
she's a lesbian (because of her role in the parade), and yes, she thinks
it would be "interesting" to play a lesbian in a movie.

One very interesting point was that the cast would discuss how "Bewitched"
mirrored LesBiGay life:  Samantha had to pretend to be mortal to fit in.
I always wondered why I liked that show, and why my favorite characters
were the ones who flaunted their witchcraft. ;-)

Of course all of us Catholic boys were abused as children.  Of course, so
were all the Jews and all the Protestants and all the atheists, too.  Didn't
you know that we were all abused as children and our families are all
disfunctional?  The modern term for what used to be called "child-rearing" is
"abuse."

Me too.  Though I dated a woman last Spring, I mostly go for men these
days.  At my last HIV test a few months ago, the counsellor asked me
how many men I had slept with in the preceeding 6 months.  Trying to
be conscientious, I thought real hard and recounted a couple of times
before settling on a number.  It turned out that I did not need to be
so careful -- he simply checked off "more than 10."  The question
about how many women I'd slept with was easy:  1.

I also know others (hi, Ken, I know you're reading this).

BTW, hello, everyone.  I'm not really a muffin -- I was one of the
original posters to this newsgroup.  But I've mostly hang out on
bisexu-l since moving to Hawai'i last January.

PRACTICE!  The first year is the hardest...or so I figure after my first

This does bring up an interesting topic, gay martial artists.  Off hand, I 
know two lesbians, one bi female, and one other gay may (for sure) in my
Aikido class.  There are a few others that give good returns on the GADAR,
but I want to hear it from their lips before I count them.  I know a Black
Belt in Tae Kwon Do--really queenie at times but I would not want to get
in a fight with that one!

Any other gay martial artists out there?

A few years ago I was seeing someone who played softball for one of the
teams in the NY Gay League.  One of the other teams in the league had a
couple of players who were straight and they eventually made it to
first place in the league for the year.  This meant that the team would
represent NY at the NAGAA World's Series.  While I don't remember the
specifics, there was quite a commotion about the fact that these straight
players, who were not allowed to play by NAGAA rules, were going to lie
in order to be able to play.  I can appreciate both sides of the argument
regarding this issue and my feelings on the subject are not why I am
replying.  What did unnerve me the most is that the general consensus
among the other league teams was that this team (with straight players)
won because there were straight players.  The implication being that
straight players played better softball than gay players!  I've heard of
sore loosers before, but this was ridiculous.  Talk about cutting off your
nose to spite your face!!!

Sometimes when someone identifies themselves as straight here, that's more
information than might be necessary :-), and therefore somewhat suspect.
On the other hand, sometimes this is offered as a way of contrast,
or to put one's comments in the correct context, and when this is offered
in the right spirit, it is hard to take offense.  The insoluble problem
is to discern which is which.  This is the crux of many polar disagreements.

In general, the broader the range of a person's tastes, the better.  On the 
other hand, if some natural scientists don't like the humanities, and some 
social scientists don't like the nat scis, then it doesn't really seem to 
me that you make them better people by forcing them to take classes which 
are wasted on them.  Liberal arts shouldn't be forced on those for whom it 
is unsuitable.

I think that calculus is one of the most beautiful creations of the human 
mind, and simple enough that everyone who gets through high school should 
be able to understand it--its beauty is in its simplicity.  On the other 
hand, some people just don't have a taste for that sort of beauty.  Some 
people don't have a taste for poetry.  To say that one must like both in 
order to be well educated is a form of intellectual snobbery.

In any case, liberal arts education all too often means that scientists 
and engineers are required to take humanities, but not the other way round.  
See the article by Frank Westheimer in Harvard Magazine a few months ago.

Perhaps, just perhaps, some should blame the whatever creates the

If you can change the conditions that allow segregation, there will be
no more segregation. However, you cannot make the segregationist go away.,

True enough, but mandating change through government interference in private
