It looks like Prop 8 (Ban on Gay Marriage) is going to pass in California . Obviously, it's upsetting. I can't quite articulate all the things that I'm feeling right now, so I'll focus instead on Exit Poll Numbers from CNN. I found it fascinating to look at the numbers. - Votes by age The numbers look promising for the future. 63% of the younger set (18-29yo) voted No. As the 65+ set die off and get replaced, hopefully Californian's will repeal the ban in the future. Age Range Yes No 18-29 (20%) 37% 63% 30-44 (28%) 53% 47% 45-64 (36%) 53% 47% 65+ (16%) 59% 41% - Votes by Race & Sex. I was really surprised that 70% of African American's voted Yes and that was the number that really stood out. Race Yes No White (63%) 47% 53% Af-Am (10%) 70% 30% Latno (19%) 51% 49% Asian (06%) 47% 53% Other (03%) 50% 50% My County in particular voted 75% Yes and only 25% no. That was truly sad (but expected). While that number sucks, I'm glad that I do have friends who were very supportive of the No side. I spent most of last night at an Election party and of the 18 people there, only 3 of us were gay/lesbian and all of the hetero's were very anti-Yes. The host of the party had participated in a Debate on Prop 8 and defended the No side pretty well. She and her husband were even profiled in an ad in the local paper as a straight married couple who supported the No side. One of the other guys was wearing a 'Straight against 8' shirt . I realized how hard these 'straights' fought against Prop 8...more so than some gays I know. So while Prop 8 passed, I still have hope for the future . Take Care

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the breakup was amicable. Take Care®, Vic

I agree with Sharon. Don't force your writing and feel pressured. Personally, I'm just geeked that you blogged again. Feel free to put out that 3-4 Chapter story about Luke. We won't mind if Travis (with the Fruit punch taste on his lips) and Milo (who's sick in bed) have to wait. Take Care®, Vic

I think most of the other characters in the story (Paul, Jeremy, Bishop Forellini, the Prophet himself), will feel that way. The abuse by Tim the guard might also explain why Gavin was so withdrawn lately. The guard is going to be in some serious trouble. Gavin will initially be very mad at Paul, but eventually, he'll realize that Paul was helping him. This situation will ultimately strengthen the bond of friendship between Paul & Gavin...I'm guessing :wacko: .

You are correct on the ages. But that's one of the sub-plots of the chapter. An inappropriate kiss that was taught to Gavin by an older guard, telling Gavin to keep it a 'secret'. Perhaps you need to reread the chapter Steve .

I'm glad you're feeling great!

I just watched it a few nights ago too! It was awesome!!!!! The beach scene at the end of the little gay family with the dog was just too cute.

You can check Matt's website at http://www.geocities.com/matpazcas/index.htm , but I don't think it's been updated in a while. The good news is that it has 11 chapters of Gentle Persuasions, so two more . Take Care, Vic

Dom, in case you forgot...your hotmail email is dluka1983@hotmail.com If you want back into your yahoo group, just let me know

Well, 'FUN' can mean my boyfriend likes me all to himself and is kinda OCD about me doing anything without him The paranoia was probably cute for the first couple of months. And don't forget, regular sex with someone who's really into you can overcome a lot of character flaws

I got a 79 too

It appears the 'He's having WAY to much fun with the new BF' votes were right.

I'll take everything but the cat

*faints again*

*faints*

That's what I keep telling myself

It's up! And it was good . I was a little confused what Billy meant in the last line of the Chapter. Thanks. I'm so looking forward to more.

It's an automatic

Actually, when I said vanilla, I meant that it didn't have a lot of options and upgrades. It's color is silver

You must be confusing me with Joe. He's the one who picks up innocent GA members in his truck to try to seduce them.

I bought a pickup truck today...fullsize . I'm feeling extremely butch right now. I'm going to call some of my biatches and see if they want to cruise with me and go to dinner. Thank goodness none of them read my blog otherwise they wouldn't like being called biatches. Feminist PhD Professors, heh. I got a plain vanilla Sierra 1500 Regular Cab. I almost got this extended cab thing with all kinds of bells and whistles, but I thought better and saved some cash.

Happy 19th Birthday Anna!!!! Hope your mom made you a big chocolate cake!

Chocolate

What are the mittens for?

I ran over a 'Yes on 8' Sign and I liked it... It was blowing into the street (so it wasn't like I knocked it down), but it still felt good. I usually avoid things in the road, but when I realized what what it was, I hit the gas.
