Candidate McCain's Gaydar Well, I think we know by behavior and by attitudes. I think that it's clear to some of us when some people have that lifestyle. Senator John McCain—"McCain Says He Can Identify Gays By Behavior, Attitudes"— Washington Post, Jan. 18 The 'Bigger Than Thou' Penis Syndrome Size queens beware: Despite what you might read in gay personal ads, less than 1 percent of Kinsey hard-ons exceeded 8 inches and the odds against finding a true 9-incher were a thousand to one. A smaller, more recent study by the University of California San Francisco has turned up shorter dicks, the average stiffy measuring a tad over 5 inches. This may be due to the makeup of the study groups; it seems that race does indeed make a difference, though not to the extent that legend would indicate. Yes, on average, black men do probably have somewhat bigger wangers and Asians somewhat smaller ones, but there's a lot of overlap; a Thai guy might well have a bigger whizzer than a Jamaican Rasta… My friend Thom, who really does have a big dick, has complaints, believe it or not. "Guys look at me and only see my prick," he said. "They compliment me on something I had nothing to do with getting. How about the shape my body's in? My mind? If I'm good in bed?" Simon Sheppard—"How Important is Size?"-- Electronic Mail & Guardian, January 21 Johannesburg, South Africa Fearing Gay Conversions But I will not stand for this kind of behaviour which is now being regarded as wholesome and healthy…Homosexuality is promoted every day. It's promoted by people who are on the streets, it's promoted by people who are attracted to others. We only need to look at some of the pamphlets available to see just exactly what is in place to put into schools. I am concerned that children might be converted by some of the literature. There's no doubt about it. Cardinal Thomas Winning—Leader of Scotland's Roman Catholic Church, Glasgow Daily Record & Sunday Mail—January 18 Old Testament Marriages Although some religious folks insist that modern marriage, as we know it in the United States, was crafted (like everything else in the world) by God, reviewable history tells us differently. No architect, divine or mortal, ever sat down and designed marriage. It has evolved over the millennia, adapting to and changing for specific cultures… The kind of official marriage that existed during the times of the Old Testament isn't around anymore. (Thank God.) Back then – and for centuries after – marriage wasn't designed to be a loving and lifelong union between a man and a woman; it was designed to be a productive and lifelong contract between a father or brother and a husband for ownership of a female. Stephanie Salter—"Marriage by design: A brief history"-- San Francisco Examiner,January 20 Bosie? A Victim? Not.
Babs Bags Big Bucks Streisand's New Year's Eve show at the MGM Grand in Vegas set a U.S. box-office record for a concert -- $14.7 million. Rex Wockner—The Wockner Wire #76--www.planetout.com/wocknerwire/ If Bush is Elected We have an opportunity...to control the entire federal government. Rep. Dick Armey—The House Majority Leader (Republican) who called Barney Frank "Barney Fag" and compared homosexuals to kleptomaniacs and alcoholics—at The Southern Republican Leadership Conference— Louisville Courier-Journal, January 22 Hate the Mormonism but not the Mormons Some portray legalization of so-called same-sex marriage as a civil right . . . this is not a matter of civil rights, it is a matter of morality… Nevertheless, our opposition to legalized same-sex marriage should never be interpreted as justification for hatred, intolerance or abuse of those who profess homosexual tendencies. Gordon B. Hinckley, LDS President – "LDS Urged to Back Prop. 22"— Salt Lake Tribune, January 21 The Incredible Shrinking Male The boy who had been told he was going to be the master of the universe and all that was in it found himself master of nothing…As early as 1957, the boy's diminished future was foreshadowed in a classic sci-fi film. In The Incredible Shrinking Man, Scott Carey has a good job, a suburban home, a pleasure boat, a pretty wife. And yet, after he passes through a mist of atomic radiation while on a boating vacation in the Pacific, something happens. As he tells his wife in horror: "I'm getting smaller, Lou, every day." Susan Faludi—"Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Male"—newly published by William Morrow & Co. Feminine Women Make Him Feel More Butch What energy do we perceive in the presence of the other person? I for one, do not like masculine energy (as I have said before). I operate on the feminine side for the most part: but am well aware of the need for balance between these essential energies. Therefore, I perceive that if I get involved with a woman who is highly masculine, I will be unable to develop my own masculinity more. That will keep me unbalanced. So I look for what I perceive as very feminine women to help me develop my own masculinity more. (That's why I have said that I am a lesbian male.)
