He recently did tell a fag/dyke joke somewhere and was 
criticized no end for it.  That's when he vowed never
to do it again.  And I can't imagine he's got a problem
with lesbigays -- I see him quite a bit riding around
West Hollywood on his motorcycle, or eating pizza at
Hard Times Pizza on Santa Monica (it's family owned

For some morbid reason, I've been glued to the tube these past four
nights watching the Republican National Fag-bashing Party.

On Wednesday night, Mary Fisher made her dramatic AIDS speech, 
wearing a sequined red ribbon to symbolize that she "was one
with" all other persons with AIDS.  All of a sudden, it became
obvious that, unlike at the Democratic convention, no one else
at this convention was wearing the red ribbon.  So what happened?

On Thursday night, Barbara Bush shows up wearing a red ribbon.
(To her credit, not sequined.  But maybe they just couldn't find
another one with sequins fast enough.)  All the shots of Barbara
*by herself* listening to the speeches clearly show her with a
ribbon.  But then, after George makes his acceptance speech, 
Barbara joins him on stage, and now the ribbon is gone.  So what's
going on?  Clearly, George doesn't want his photo op ruined by
having a red ribbon standing next to him.  Imagine George Bush
on the front page of all the papers standing next to Barbara,
who's wearing a red ribbon.  The thought was just too much to bear.

This way, any photo of Barbara by herself that happens to appear in
the paper shows this warm, compassionate grandmother.  But any photo
of George and Barbara doesn't have to remind the nation of his
anti-life AIDS policies.

In case there was any doubt before, now it's gone:  Barbara is 
letting herself be used.

Gregg Strom: c/o 'Bryx' International. A peripatetic figure at my gym
in LA, "The Athletic Club". Unusually smooth and shaved-looking,
sometimes bad acne, always very steroided; we were always surprised he
had never developed gynacomastia, I'm sure his testicles have shrunk
enough to rattle around in their pod like dried peas. Strangely,
operates out of a London, Ontario P.O. Box. A friend of mine, the
former editor of the Advocate, had him walk into his office one day
with a 'tome' 'written' by Gregg about bodybuilders having sex in a
gym. A 24-page magazine as a hardbound novel. We had a good giggle
over it. Gregg wanted to demonstrate his shavedness, and stripped in
Richards office without warning. rumor has it he's a Chemical Engineer
from a Canadian University, possibly McGill. One wonders who his
backer is; a sort of young male version of Angelyne.

So, FJ. "Gregg Strom", eh? No wonder you looked, well, dazed shall I
say in the Argos.

Greetings -

As I arrived at the bus stop this morning, I saw my first "Yes on 9." :-(
A middle-aged man across the street had painted this in large letters on
the back of his short-sleeve oxford-cloth shirt (it wasn't even tucked in
and he had terrible posture - these bigots have no sense of *style* ;-> ). 
I'm so disheartened - I live in the lesbian zip code (97214); this isn't
supposed to happen *there*!  Sigh.  Just had to share my downer with
people who can cheer me up...  Encouragement and epithet suggestions (or
instant enlightenment phrases) welcome.  Thanks for listening!

Thinking about some of the "oh" reactions I have caused reminded
me of an "oh" reaction *I* had recently.

A group of friends from aikido were having a party at a 
campground.  They invited me to join them so I drove up later
that night.  when I got there, Deb had a friend named Kent with
her.  (Deb knows I am gay and said she wanted to fix me up with
a friend of hers, namely Kent.)  This was the night I danced 
naked in front of the fire, but that is another story altogether.
Let's just say I was in rare form all night.

Anyway, I meet Kent and I thought he was cute.   I assumed Deb was 
trying to get us together and decided to play along.  I don't know
if it was the late hour, the alcohol, or the hormones, but I was
rather, uh, forward.  Deb seemed to be enjoying this quite a bit
and I quickly got the impression that Kent was a little uncomfort-
able about something, but not unreceptive.  He seemed "closeted"
to me, and I just assumed he was having trouble being open around
all the straight people around.

Kent eventually got up to meet nature's call, and I wandered over to
Deb, who seemed hopelessly amused by the whole thing.  I asked her if
I was being too forward with Kent.  He was, after all gay.

She tells me that her gay friend is Ken.  Kent is *her* date.

I said, "Oh."

like some photos of Oscar Wilde, especially as he has a similar

If I understand you correctly, the results described here average together 
transmission rates with and without condoms, which are presumed to be quite 
different, so it's not clear that the numbers cited are at all close to the 
rates in any individual encounter, in which a condom is either used or it

I thought the fellow who was "too straight looking to be gay" had a hard 
time finding a date because he was an arrogant bastard.  He certainly had 
an awfully high opinion of how handsome and masc.-looking he was, which 
had the further effect of making it harder for him to understand why he 
kept getting rejected.  Having observed this facet of his personality, I 
find it unnecessary to construct a conspiracy theory.

	Well, the main reason that I remember Point/Counterpoint is that
Saturday Night Live, way back in the glory days of the first cast, did a
wonderful sendup of it in the Weekend Update segment.  Jane Curtain would

I rather like what a friend of mine came up with to describe
(part) of my peculiar feeding habits.  He told a mutual friend
that "George doesn't eat dead animal body."  ;-)

Not only does it cover all the cases (red meat, white meat, fish,
poultry), but it doesn't exclude the stuff I do eat -- dairy
products and eggs.  On top of that, it conveys something of the
"YECH!" reaction I have to the idea of eating meat.

Young, perhaps.  Innocent --- not anymore!  :-) But at the time you

Definitely a new crop.  In fact, the inside of my wallet has a more-or-less
permanent reverse-image "QUEER $$$", resulting from a bill placed therein
while it was still somewhat damp.  I've also seen "GAY $$$" stamps floating
around.  They appear to be getting around --- my straight roommate got
a marked dollar bill at a poker game, where none of the boys in question
are "family".

We, argentinians, know how effective they are.
The problem with the draft, as we had in Argentina for the las 100 years 
(almost), is that if you have to go to war, the soldiers are not as well
prepared (ready), as they would be if they are profesionals.
The other point is that the only ones beong drafted would be the poors anyway.
The wealthy will always find their way out.
On the other hand, there would be a lack of "touch" with the society at large,
and all what happened in the tailhook convention results (I heared that at
least 26 women were raped in Desert Storm, and some of them by their superiors).
Somehow, with a draft, those things could be reduced.
