Hmm, I don't know. I ideally consider pride marches on the same plane as non-threatening demonstrations of any kind, like anniversary or new years or mardi gras parades... But this doesn't really work, because those aren't strict equivalents; I don't think pride marches have a strict equivalent. You don't see, for example, ethnic groups bunching up to march quite the same way -- unless it's to break a few windows on the way to the governor's building. Since prides aren't exactly the impression I'd like, say, my impressionable youngest brother to get of gay people, I'd say it's an overall good thing for the media not to cover prides.

Happy birthday!

I sure know how to kill an evening...

An imaginary friendship is good enough. Kevin, these lines from Yeats's "The Municipal Gallery Revisited" may be of interest: "Think where man's glory most begins and ends, And say my glory was I had such friends." -
Sounds great. Since improvising is all about turning deviations into intent, it's pretty hard to make "mistakes." I did hear one note that was clearly a slip, but that was the only one. Personally I've never tried improvising, so this was very well done and impressive...

Happy birthday Gabriel!

Raro and Procyon. And I believe it should be "whom"....

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

Lately when I read your blog, I think: bloody hell. Kevin must come from Mars. But then I realize Kevin hails from Earth, and his purpose here is to bring hope to gays like us who are slightly less enthusiastic about their present state of affairs. Anyway, I'm glad your 2009 is off to such a good start. -
I spent New Year's angsting about going back to snow and ice and bloody final exams... Lots of fun.

I think I'd only get uneasy about my S/O looking through my call history if I had something to hide. And, really, that'd be my fault -- if I had something to hide... Kit is right, of course, about basic privacy and stuff. But meh. That to me feels kind of artificial in a very close relationship.

Aww... that is the sweetest picture I've seen in a long time.

The thought of pubic shaving is, honestly, kind of terrifying. I mean, I don't really fancy anything sharp down there... It seems pretty dangerous. That said, I appreciate and practice trimness; I definitely don't find naked balls very appealing. There's something rather infantile about them. That, or prepubescent, neither of which are good associations in the sack.

Looks great... and was there something subliminal in the 'taken before bed' bit??

It certainly is ironic in a horrible, tragic way. It almost seems that these families, once "marked" by some kind of grief, are fated to get more of it. Awful. And I'm a scientist, ahaha. Of course there's a great deal of other people whom we lost to AIDS, some of them better known than others. I personally most saddened by the passings of Alan Menken and Freddie Mercury. Oh, and here's a great quote from Anthony Perkins: "I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding from the people I have met in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cutthroat, competitive world in which I spent my life."

Is there a thread on this movie here? I'm kind of bewildered that there isn't -- I'm shocked, really. I just watched it with a couple of straight friends and acquaintances. It wasn't a brilliant film, but it was very well done, very well acted, and about an hour after I got home from watching it, I burst into tears in the shower. I think it was the idea of fighting and the depictions of having made something of one's life and the futility of it -- particularly with the fact that Harvey Milk was assassinated, and with the fact that prop 8 just passed. Or maybe it actually was a brilliant film. In any case, I highly recommend this for everyone.

Wow, did I know about this? Did you follow me from fanfiction.net? Anyway, cool, welcome to GA, hope you're liking it here.
-
I second that. I hope Jovian comes out fine.

Do you have any writing we could take a look at, just to see if we'd be a good match for you in terms of workshop style, ability, taste, etc.?
-
Have a very happy birthday!
-
It doesn't make you a bad person. Just someone who doesn't want to increase the AIDS death toll. The fact that you angst over it means you're actually a good person.

What if the reason I skip over sex scenes is that I get too embarrassed to read them? What if I'm ... deeply ashamed to read of my beloved characters doing icky gay things... !? Just kidding. I don't like sex scenes that stall the story, but otherwise, I love them.
-
I'm sorry it ended this way, but maybe it was all for the best. I mean... what a bastard! -- having sex with you because you would "never hurt him"!? Some friend! Anyhow, best of luck, and I'm sure you'll find someone.

I was wondering the same thing... It's the twisted psychology of overbearing moms... They think they have an umbilical chord b/w their babies that can never be cut.

I agree w/ Graeme that a "real man" is a semantically flawed (or maybe just politically incorrect...) phrase. So I won't use it. A man I respect would be more apt. Interestingly, in this context, there's no difference between the criteria that I hold for respecting a man and for respecting a woman. I think a truly respectable human being is marked by awareness and humility. A great human being would also have strength and passion. My two cents...

Or go boyfriend hunting!
