And seriously, Deadly, what IS up with that roommate? I think you need to have a talk with him/her. ---

What about the sheep study? Homosexuality is caused by a smaller portion of the hyperthalamus gland, because of fluids and stuff you recieve during pregnancy. I’ve been thinking about that all day, how much does it alter things if it’s true? I say this as someone with a tiny hyperthalamus gland. And PROUD of it. ---

God, I hope it’s catching. Maybe the cute guy at work will spend just a little too much time in my cubicle, and then he’s MINE! Esprix ---

An interest in musical theater? Decent muscle tone? \*\* Please spare us the interest in musical theatre…PLEEEEEZE. However, you can encourage as much decent muscle tone as you wish…mmmmmmm And **Thylacine** , you should’ve seen me a couple of years ago. I was even sans stubble, preferring the 0 on the Ronson for quite a few months there. Saved on shampoo and girlie bad-hair-day angst for ages. And then my daughter decided to do the same, which made for some interesting stares in the street when we were walking around together!! Oh, and as far as I know, we are both straight. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by amarinth \* > \*\*Strangely enough, for some people it really is hard to understand. It’s beyond their comprehension. I actually had one person tell me once (lizard boy, to be precise) that his incredibly fundamentalist church taught that “love thy neighbor” was more figurative than literal. (Weird how many other parts of the bible were absolutely to be taken literally.) The leaps in logic that some people use to get around that simplest of commands are astoundingly balletic. \*\* There’s always that bit about “That which you do unto the least of my brothers you do also to me” But I’m sure that’s somehow not applicable, too. ---

I like William S. Burroughs hyperliteral interpretation of “Love your enemy.” > [@](#): > > [ul]Love Your Enemy[/ul] > It isn’t easy to love an enemy-- it goes against your most basic survival instincts, but it can be done and turned to an advantage. Let the love squirt out of you like a firehose of molasses, give him the kiss of life. Stick your tongue down his throat, taste what he’s been eating, and bless his digestion. Ooze down into his intestines and help him along with his food. Let him know that you revere his rectum as part of an ineffable whole. Make him understand that you stand in naked awe of his genitals as part of the Master Plan. Life in all its rich variety – do not falter! Let your love enter in unto him and penetrate him with a divine lubricant-- makes KY and lanolin feel like sandpaper. It’s the most mucilaginous, the slimiest, ooziest lubricant there ever was or shall be, amen. ---

I can only assume that, even though they consider homosexuality a sin, they would support gay parenting as being in the best interest of the (same-sex) child: twice the masculine/feminine influence! Right? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-crap-i-have-to-listen-to-on-the-radio-watch-out-for-those-gayfolk/135756.md?page=1)
