To start, sorry to bring you to tears (kinda), but I also believe tears can be cathartic and if they were tears for Darryl than I am totally ok with it because I think Darryl, at least the young Darryl, is someone worth remembering and shedding a tear for once in a while.
As to the other part, the judgmental set I tend to ignore them. So many young people (young being under 40 these days) have no concept of the pre-Internet world. A world where men dancing with men was illegal in L.A. County and LAPD used it as an excuse to beat up, harass and out gay men. West Hollywood's hot spots weren't the open air clubs and eateries they are now where you wave to the cars on Santa Monica Blvd., you entered in the alley and hoped no one saw you sneaking in. Anonymous sex, glory holes, etc. were an out growth of no other outlets, but so many people don't get that and judge those partake or did.
I will confess to being a little judgmental about those NOT trying to get laid at every turn because that just seems so unnatural for men. I agree that men are wired for sex so I am suspicious of those who act sanctimoniously celibate, I think either they are lying or repressed.
Thanks for what there was of On The Mark, but understand that I do care about Mark and what happened to him, to Van, with Matt, etc. It was very cathartic for me as Mark and I were very very similar in our experiences {except for the bad grades and JC thing }.
