Please, please, please don’t be mad at me!  
C’mooooooooooooooooooooooon, please?

I really wanna know what you think about my participation in the Pride parade on Sunday.

Aha! I know what I’ll do… I’ll go to your “Ask the Gay Guy” thread in Great Debates and you’ll **have** to answer!

[aside]Why _is_ that thread in Great Debates, anyway? It’s not debatable - you’re gay. It’s not debatable - we can ask you a question. Berry cornfusing.[/aside]

It’s in Great Debates because In My Humble Opinion didn’t exist when it was created. 🙂 But seriously, folks, it’s in GD because homosexuality, even in this enlightened day and age, still has political and religious ramifications.

Hrmph. It’s not often the **Gay Guy** gets relegated to a Johnny-come-lately.

I have responded to your question in the AtGG thread, _much_ to my own surprise. 😛

Forgiven. But don’t let it happen again.

And as to why I put AtGG in GD in the first place, read the OP in the original thread. It was in GD where there was a plethora of misinformation about homosexuality, so it seemed the place to respond in kind. The moderators left it there, as it turned into not so much a “debate” but a discussion, and a fairly civil one at that. All others, of course, are pale imitations to mine, the original “Ask the…” thread.
