Five-ish, feeling really funny watching Ron Ely as Tarzan Saturday afternoons. I didn’t KNOW it was sexual…I just thought “Damn…I wanna be Jai and live with Tarzan!” (Jai was the “Boy” of the Ely series). ---

I didn’t KNOW it was sexual…I just thought “Damn…I wanna be Jai and live with Tarzan!” (Jai was the “Boy” of the Ely series). It was superheroes for me. Like you, I didn’t know it was sexual…I just knew I wanted to ride along while they were flying and be close to them. ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > It’s interesting to see ol’ Maggie’s name mentioned all the way back in 2000. She’s since become (in)famous as the public face of NOM (National Organization for Marriage), which has been flailing about trying to smother the flames of marriage equality for years (although her place has been taken now by Brian Brown, who’s always struck me as protesting just a _bit_ too much, if you know what I mean…). > > All of which is just the long form of saying “Anything Maggie Gallagher says, prints, believes or advocates needs to be examined very carefully and probably rejected out of hand.” How can anyone opposed both abortion and single parenthood. What does she advocate–Forcing pregnant single woman to get married or give up their child for adoption? What decade is this “lady” living in?
