Animal testing and the Joy of Gay Sex
{Paraphrased scene from Friends}
Ross to Susan as he surveys their book collection: "You guys sure have a lot of books about being a lesbian"
Susan: "Yeah, well you have to pass a test or the won't let you do it"
So I was at Barnes & Noble and I realized that my own personal library was completely devoid of books about being gay. So I sauntered (I was going for a gay book after all) over to the Gay Studies section. A long with three other titles (I'm also now the proud owner of The Joy of Gay Sex - which actually, not quite as hot or informative as I was expecting, but I figured it's a "must have" for a modern gay boi ) I decided to purchase a book on "coming out". I mostly consider myself "out", but there's still some family and old friends left that I need to tell so I figured why not. Anyway, interesting thing about buying a book about coming out, you kind of have to already BE OUT to buy it. I'm definitely out enough to buy it. It was actually kind of fun watching the sales clerk try to act casual and unflustered, but the irnoy struck me. It's sort of like getting a book on wedding planning AS a wedding gift.
"Why thank you, MaryJo, I'll be sure to keep this handy for after the devorce when I'm dating seriously again."
I also noticed an intriguing label on my facial cleanser. It seems I needn't worry, the product wasn't tested on animals. Now I think that's a very good and important thing for some consumer goods. Like chain saws for example.
"yeah Bill, looky here, this baby'll take the head off a full growed elk in 3 seconds flat *spit* says so right here on the box."
Still it is a relief to know that no where out there is a white rat having to endure "radiant, non-oily skin" *gasp!*. We all know they don't test condoms on animals. Rodents have notoriously poor access to birth control. This is of course how rabbits got such a bad rap. Of course they don't test those coming out books on animals either. No, the prefer to use young gay people.
"Well that sure didn't work! George, make a note to leave sky writing out of the revised edition."
Anyway take care all and have an awesome day!!
Also I do hope no one takes anything in this entry seriously. I have the utmost amount of respect for the coming out process and I'm firmly against all animal testing. Besides I've already decided what my next entry is going to be about and it'll be painfully serious.
