“recruit to homosexual lifestyle” So could you, like, take lessons and stuff? Maybe get to the point where you got a notion about color coordination, maybe a sense of interior design and how to throw like a girl, but not have to actually do anything, well, you know… Or does it involve actual surgery?

Aside: in '66, guys I know facing the possibility of being drafted would share info on how to get rejected. At that point, you would be deferred on a psycho if you said you were gay. Just **said** , mind you, you didn’t have to prove it, just be willing to **say** it!!

Guys would say anything, confess to crimes, say they wet the bed, say they heard voices, say _anything_…but that.

I still want corroborating evidence. As do all the straight guys and gay women here–hubba-hubba!

That’s my problem . . . I have very little sense of style, I can’t design well spatially (my spatial conception is baad), and I throw like . . . well, I played baseball and football in high school. I taught my brother to pitch. You figure that one out.

And yet you never impressed me as particularly butch. 😉

Of course, the flamer is our most popular option, but it’s perfectly valid to be butch.

It’s fun to mess with straight people’s heads sometimes. There’s nothing like swishing down the street while talking about auto repair.
