In a similar vein is "Podkayne from Mars."  A bright girl, much
brighter than anyone else around her by a long shot, is reduced at the
end to thinking, "Well -- babies are kind of cute, it wouldn't be so
bad to have some."

(Not that I'm saying brains and reproduction can't go hand in hand.
But it's tiresome haveing SO MANY stories conclude that that's what
little girls are for, despite any other talent.)

My friend has sent me homoerotic postcards through the mail
without any problems.  I expected them to get defaced, but they have
been delivered suprisingly clean.
Of course this doesn't mean that there aren't some phobes
out there working for the postal service.

I really should find out the official postal regulations regarding
visable "pictures" being sent through the mail.

I've seen that, along with McLasagna, in the McDonald's in

NJ, or Newark Valley, NY [the latter of which is home to our

I discovered his writing around 1980.  Enjoyed almost all of it though
without finding any particular motss relevance....

Then I read his novel ON WINGS OF SONG.  A unique mix of science
fiction, fantasy (people have mastered out-of-body-experiences and it's
a booming industry), and satire.  It's a great (and not altogether
improbable) reductio ad absurdum of the opera-queen phenomenon,
imagining a world in which opera is so insanely expensive that only the
wealthy opera queens can afford to go, and only Baroque operas are
performed (plus Norma), and the castrato has made a comeback.  And just
as I was smiling at Disch's knowledgeability about the opera scene, our
protagonist starts going to bed with men.  Coulda knocked me over with a
feather.  I don't suppose that would startle me so much now, but it sure
was an unexpected pleasure then.

Since then I've kept an eye out for Disch.  He's been the regular
theater reviewer for THE NATION for some years now, and has referred to
his own sexuality on occasion when relevant to the matter at hand.  I
believe he's also written a play or two lately.

Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!

:-)

This is what "Movies on TV and Videocassette" by Steven H. Scheuer (an
outstanding movie reference guide which mentions a *lot* of GLBO-Centered
movies!) which I just recently picked up, has to say about "The Wounded Man"
(L'Homme Blesse'):  Erotic fantasies mix with real and imagined violence in
this daring story about a young man who finds himself drawn to homosexual
sex of a furtive and threatening nature.

Still, I based *my* blurb on this one from "Gay and Lesbian Library
Service", edited by Cal Gough and Ellen Greenblatt:  Sensitive account
of the "coming out" of a French teenager who, upon attempting to stop the
attack of a man in a public toilet, is passionately kissed by the attacker.
He then discovers his strong attraction to men.

So the young man (boy?) gets infatuated with an adult, eh?  Which adult,
the one who kissed him in the toilet?  The one he was helping?  Someone
else?  Oh, wait a minute -- I seem to remember something from David
Edelsohn's list -- was the "adult" a sociopathic hustler? 

How about this:

After trying to stop an attack on a man in a public toilet, and being
passionately kissed by the man's attacker, a French teenager finds himself
drawn to homosexual sex of a furtive and threatening nature, and becomes
infatuated with a sociopathic hustler.

Maybe I should just go find this movie and figure it out for myself.

Quid pro Quo John!
Its time you grew up and accepted that there are people in this world who
think anbd act differently than you or your standards, and that being different isn't bad.. its just different.
For one thing I'm tired of hearing strayts whine about how homosexuals
run things and have so much power.
Talk about blaming others for what you don't understand.

I don't think its a matter of blame, don't you see.
The reality is that child molestation manifests in all segments of society.
strayt.. gay.. rich .. poor... educated .. and ignorant...
The point is that those who paint all homosexuals as child molesters
are oh so ready to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to the
vast amount of heterosexual molestation  thats happening 
ALL THE TIME.
