It sounds to me as though december is stereotyping gays as having a natural proclivity to being artistic. It additionally sounds as though it is being implied that this is the only area they are capable of contributing to society in. Granted, maybe thats not what december meant, but that’s what it sounded like to me. Sorry if I misinterpreted. ---

Hum **y** nkind, **wring** , humynkind. Didn’t you upgrade your PC spell-check with the latest patch? As a minor tangent from the OP, should China, in addition to their one-child policy, encourage homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, to reduce their birthrate? ---

Let me see if I have this **straight** : The OP is so enamoured of WWF’s unique style of “sports entertainment” (tight pants, bare chests, oiled bodies, crotch holds, and PUPPIES) that he’s incorporated the name of their flagship programme into his SN, and he **objects** to the SG&L Mardi Gras?\* Bwahahahahaha Someone come get me out of chat when this hits the Pit, the light refreshments are on me. \*[sub]me thinks the real reason he’s pissy is because he found out Kane and Taker aren’t really brothers[/sub] ---

??? [celestina taking her glasses off, cleaning them well, putting them on again, squinting at the computer screen, scratching her head] * * * RAWisSydney said: “If everyone in the world was Straight, life would go on. If everyone turned gay, we couldnt reproduce naturally.” * * * ??? Um, the way I see it, there’re plenty of heterosexuals and homosexuals that shouldn’t have kids because they don’t know how the hell to be decent parents, and there are plenty of heterosexuals who don’t–Thank the lord!–have kids. Likewise, there’s plenty of heterosexuals and homosexuals who should have kids because they’d make wonderful parents, and they do–Thank the lord!–have kids. Unfortunately, there are far too many, heterosexual and homosexual, who are terrible parents who have kids, and while this is a problem, I think it’s safe to say that there are other threats far more potent to the continued existence of homo sapiens, say IGNORANCE, than homosexuality. ---
