Um, I thought I was being silly.  I was reading along and I
came to your sentence describing your age to three decimal
places.  This is unusual enough to catch my eye (though perhaps
that's because I run in less technical circles than many on
this newsgroup).  It seemed like a question for the soc.motss
SATs: If BBC has been doing something for 29.985 years on
October 6, 1992, when should you put a birthday card in the mail?

Mara's Marty, by the way, turns 50 soon.

If you read soc.motss carefully enough, you can, eventually,
learn all sorts of details about these strangers across the
Net.  Today we learned that Greg Parkinson and Arne Adolphson
graduated high school the same year that I did. I believe Melinda
did, too, and Mr. Cr*mer as well.  I could swear that others
have indicated a similar graduation year in their posts, but
I wasn't keeping a record.

Considering what you say, and knowing the Quayles as we 
do, it probably was a white ribbon.  

Someone proposed pinning condoms on to promote safer sex
awareness;  I think that message might be pretty clear.    
And it might work for my car antennae, too, since my car
has a retracting antenna, which extends only when its 
radio is turned on.

Hmmm... actually, I've found the opposite to be true.  I was pleasantly
surprised when I walked into my local BlockBuster and saw the section
marked Video Gems was all queer-related films.  Then I went home to
Cleveland and found that one of the BB's there had a similar section,
only with some different films.  I have very little trouble getting any
fairly mainstream queer films that I want from there...

Apparently so.  However, I could not be more certain that the ogres of
OCA are not reading from the Hebrew, but from King James, in which
"fabric made from two kinds of stuff" is the taboo material.

>(Neither does Leviticus forbid haircuts; it only forbids shaving

And it only prevents men from lying with one another "as a man lies
with a woman," which is biologically impossible if one is to read
between the lines.  That hasn't stopped the evangelicalists.

I don't disagree with you.  I'm saying that the Fundamentalist
Christian interpretation of Leviticus is self-inconsistent.

Personally, I would find it much easier to focus on Mr. Melmon's content
were it not for what I perceive as ongoing misogyny on his part. I, at
least, am unable to construe his continual use of female names
("Jeze(i)bel", "Donna Who") in his effort to insult his (male) opponents in
debate as anything other than misogyny. (Granted, he *has* gotten a bit
more subtle about it since his first postings...but I'm not sure that's
necessarily a good thing, if the result is that he basically gets away with
it.) 

If anyone out there sees this matter differently, I would be most
interested to hear your perspective.

I just finished reading Joseph Steffan's "Honor Bound: A Gay
American Fights for the Right to Serve His Country" and I want
to highly recommend. In it he presents a moving account of his
awareness of his homosexuality and his coming out process. Many
of the points he relates were things that I too had felt and
experienced.
What perhaps inspired me the most was his account of his activism
for gay rights in the military. The courage he displayed in coming
out on national television and taking on the military establishment
was especially inspiring. I realized that I had metered out my own
coming out process and kept it safe. I felt motivated to tell more
people, to be more open.
This book is definitely a must-read.

Donald, I don't think that the majority of readers of soc.motss doubt that the
problems AREN't very real, but the question at this point is why are you 
letting the situation destroy you?

It doesn't have to! I think you should seriously consider getting some kind
of help from a mentor if you feel like you can't deal with these issues in a
non-destructive manner (self or otherwise).

Hmmm... I've heard at least one Orthodox rabbi arguing, based on
that verse, that the Torah must permit anal sex between husband
and wife, so it is possible for a man to lie with a man "as with
a woman".

I don't think that's the OCA's position...

Ok, I'll let you know what happens.  :-)

Well, I could recommend sitting on a great big research vessel
for a week, but well, forget I said that :-) ... ok, among other
things, the Good Vibrations catalog* has a section on anal toys
and anal play.  But the catalogs I have are really oriented 
towards women and at most mention "our male customers" as an
afterthought.  Despite the fact that my bisexual name :-) causes
companies to single me out for "Hey dude, cum with us!"-type nudie-
boy junk mail, I still haven't gotten any sex-toy catalogs 
specifically for men.
