Sorry Riley, but that chapter "The Hang" sucked. I simply do not believe "Lord of the Flies" justice would exist at a school in the States. If Ryan is worth his salt, he'll get a gun and blow Jonny's f*kin head off. Respectfully, Steve

One of my favorite characters has to be "Vallier" from the gay Canadian love story "Lilies" from 1996. He was played by straight Canadian actor "Danny Gilmore" Steve

You mention off-roading.

Graeme - If you're towing, then either the Mitsubishi Outlander or RAV-4, either with a V6, would do you nicely. The new Outlander GT would be hot. Steve³ OH! Forget about the Forrester with the Turbo. Good choice, plus 4-wheel drive. Also excellent reliability

Happy Birthday Sky!! Bugeye is right too, you are purty. Steve

Wow! Extracting an audio selection from the movie "Hello Dolly" by commission. I'm listening to "Put on Your Sunday Clothes", and I find that I LOVE THIS!! Doing more research I found that the gay actor Danny Lockin (Barnaby), was murdered some years later, and the sonofabitch got away with it on a technicality. Steve³

What about reconnecting with some of those family folks from your past.

Happy Birthday Lugh!! I think that DC and SB ought to get together and figure out something to do for YOU on this special DAY! Steve

Heh, no caps here.

My blood starts to boil at any thought of censorship that I'm exposed to. I'm speaking of arbitrary and capricious censorship of anything that's legal, and doesn't harm a soul. This NIFTY web admin has absolutely no business altering what his narrow mind perceives as an objectionable title of any Author's work. I examined the lists of "REMOVED" and "REJECTED" titles on one of the NIFTY mirrors. There are indeed some titles that could raise the hackles of even the most permissive among us. However, your title doesn't come anywhere close to those. There are SEVERAL Nifty mirror sites, with different admins. Why not try another NIFTY mirror site, and see if any other admin agrees with this clown. OTOH, if the fact that you're using the word "circumcision" in the title is really what is gettin all of their panties in a wad, then I need to rethink my support of the NIFTY.ORG as well. Steve³

Happy Birthday!! Jamie!!! Steve

Wait! Wait! Wait! Obviously Warrior, you have your own personal beliefs that I respect unconditionally. My intent here is certainly not to impugn those beliefs with that which follows. Let's all understand that the word promiscuous has ONLY a subjectively-defined interpretation associated with it. Who is doing the defining? Who's passing judgement on those who seem to have a view that is not so possibly skewered by upbringing and/or the age of the day? By the definition given here of being "promiscuous", I will have to admit that during my early gay life, I was very "bad". Going to the bars 5 to 7 days a week, seeking a "trick" (today's term is "hook-up" I think) that MAYBE, MAYBE would turn into a relationship. This was the '70's, early '80's folks, pre-AIDS, -pre-diseases that will KILL you. At that time, the reality was (as it is now) that Man is a sexual beast of the simplest order, not constrained by the "moral order" of any day. "GET OFF" was/is (still) the phrase of the day, in Gay life as well as Straight life: "OMG, he's/she's f**kin gorgeous!!" "Will she put out?" or "Is he a top or a bottom?" As gross as that may sound to some of the gay youngsters here today, it's an irrefutable truism of gay/straight lives of times long-ago, as well as today. All I can say to you young folks here, respectfully of course, is that "you weren't there." That you "have no frame of reference, so how is it possible for you to accurately and fairly judge those for whom you deem "promiscuous"? The fact is that you can't. You have no empirical data to back up your claims, and have only sad but true information of the post-sexual-revolution, and AIDS-infested times for you to draw data from. I won't judge anyone for being "disgusted" by anonymous sex. The fact is, since you've never or rarely had it, you can hardly be in a position to pass a valid and lucid judgement against it, unless of course, it comes from pre-conceived societal-imposed "moral" standards. That's not an insult to you wonderful youngsters, it's just a fact to which the available data leads us. Pre-AIDS, most gay boys I encountered were indeed promiscuous sluts (as defined in this thread). I would be willing to bet that when a sure-fire cure for AIDS is developed, I think the term "promiscuous gay man" will lose some of its negative potency. Steve³

I cried. A lot. This documentary is tough to watch. It's a story that follows chronological events in this man's life from childhood, to the epic life-changing decision using that man's own diaries of growing up. To watch these people, who worked with this woman when she was the opposite gender, shy away, and provide non-existent for their Co-Councilor is appalling. One shriveled-up old fart, one who needs to die off and take the bigotry in his heart with him, even uses the word "normal", in deference to needing someone else in the position. BASTARD! I sit here wondering how can we have come so far, with unabashed bigotry shown so virulently. I'm saddened. Steve

Listening to Adam Lambert - Soaked, and Broken Open. <soulful sigh> Steve

Jim. You don't know how proud you make me!!! I'll just wait for the reports. (For their flagitiousness, falsity, and utter, total hypocrisy!!) Steve3

This thread reminds me of a T-shirt/Bumper that was making the rounds in the mid-90's. And still available in Oaklawn. Anyway, my best friends from Microsoft would always wear something like that for Gay Pride in Dallas. Makes me smile to think.

Superb reply!!! I had to read it twice! Steve3

I was a virgin as a Gay man until I was 20. Up until that point, it was all girls.

I will not eat liver by itself. Can't do it - that pesky ol' gag reflex. But OTOH, as a lover of Cajun cuisine, I can take it in small doses as with one of my favorite Cajun dishes like Dirty Rice. I truthfully feel the same way about cilantro, truly disgusting taste on the whole. But in small doses (like Chipotle's lime-cilantro rice), I can tolerate it ok Steve3

Looks like they'd have to "rinse" the remains outta that one. Eww.

Yeah Dom - When you get another valid and reliable email addy, I can send presents.

Oh, the happiest of Birthdays to one of the most well-spoken brethren we have here on GA!! Steve3

Heh, once again, Dom is toying with his dedicated audience. Just enough information to confuse and befuddle us.

".....there are always possibilities," Spock, ST. It would be exciting to encounter Travis and Dennis five-years on. We could see Dennis/Travis @ his dad's house for Christmas with John's new wife. Somehow, Dennis' could be motivated to visit Lyle in prison. We could touch on Aiden/Owen's torrid affair, and even get a glimpse of Chris and Lacy in these later years, if any. Truthfully, I'd like to see Owen mature, and get over his insecurities. Aiden could see Owen's weaknesses and love him all the more. Dom is very wise for such a young whippersnapper, and most of his stories could be viewed as still wide-open. Steve

I saw this posting referenced by the blog Towleroad last week. This woman is ignorant. She doesn't know that most gays douche before anal sex?
