Okay, I’m not sure if this has been done yet or not, but if we have Guy Stuff and Girl Stuff (sort of) then we need Gay Stuff! Oh, by the way, I’m not gay. Especially if that fox purplebear is reading! I love wimmin! Especially purplebear.

\ ***Ophanim:** Oh, by the way, I’m not gay. \*
Not that there’s anything _wrong_ with that…

The word is no. I am therefore going anyway.

Oh hell no! But just so purplebear doesn’t get the wrong idea. That is of course unless purplebear is really a guy, in that case I can change!

## Yeha, there’s nothing wrong with being gay. In the interest of accomodating everyone, I think this thread is a great idea.
how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking…

So, this IS the first Gay Stuff thread. Sweet. I hope purplebear will love me now that I have had an original thought. Oh yeah and gay people rule! I’m serious, all the ones I’ve met were great.
Now we have to do something about these drapes.

Good God almighty, after what happened to the poor cat in the Guy Stuff thread I don’t think my heart can take the anticipation of this one . . .

[Chris Lowell voice] Maybe – I’ve got just the thing. How about a sash? Something in a coordinating color so it doesn’t clash. Just let it fall gently toward the floor. Perfect! See how easy that was? [end Chris Lowell voice]

Orphanim, dear, \ Thank you! And FYI, I am ALL woman. Every inch. No guy here. And,yes all the gays I’ve ever met have been really cool people (I’m not sure I get it, but, hey, to each his own).I am MOST emphatically, totally, hetero, and plan on staying that way til youknowwhere freezes over. Just so you know. BTW, am I the only female bear here???

And Orphanim,I don’t know you well enough to love you. Yet. But that could change… you never know. I really like original thoughts! From anyone.

Well, I don’t know what y’all are going to do with’em, but for this thread to get off the ground you’re going to need some poodles.
So here’s a few:
Erika - a toy
Debbie - a miniature
Trouble - a standard

“Gay” as separate from “Guy” and “Girl”? Wasn’t the “third sex” theory discredited like 50 years ago?

Oh, you’ll soon learn to love me! After I launch my purplebear love probe at the moon! Here goes! Dammit! The rocket ship in the Guy Stuff thread is sucking all my power! Damn you Guy Stuff! On to plan B.
I dunno don’t you think a sash is a little passe? I mean I was thinking vertical blinds. Only with some type of flowery feel to them. And Poodles are the ticket! But I think that miniatures and toys might be better. Now if there was a way to kind of “Pink Up” this place.

Don’t forget musical theater. But even a straight guy like me can spend a pleasant evening watching _Guys and Dolls_ as I did Friday. …Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Wow! Such outrageous flirting! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ophanim. My ego really needs this! I might even get used to this. Maybe. Someday. Sorry the probe missed me, what’s plan B??? And the sash is passe, I agree, vertical blinds would be fine, but no flowers, they belong in vases and throw pillows. A nice deep pink blinds with turquoise walls and a hot pink couch to lay, I mean sit, on would be just the thing.
