READ THE PROFILE OF A HOMOSEXUAL AS DETAILED IN THE BIBLE

Doesn’t describe any gay folks I’ve ever met, but the Bible trumps reality, doesn’t it? (Actually, I read that back when I was a teenager and I thought it was a decent match for a number of my fellow students. The straight ones, anyways.)

Alas, dear Stephanie, I so hate to be the bearer of bad tidings…Anne, little or nothing really. Steve saw “Gay” and his brain froze over, kicking into automatic “Make sure no one finds out about me!” gear.Mocking him mercilessly is the only appropriate response.

Ummmm. . . .I fail to see what the fact that this film premiered at a gay film festival, has to do with the subject at hand. But maybe I’m just dumb.Anne G

But, Janie, do you mean these good, religious folk would be anything but truthful? Say it isn’t so. I’m so disillusioned.

My wicked laughter is everywhere, Stephanie, and so am I.I'll accept your apology this time, but next time there'll be some correction involved, and those tears will be quite different.>;->Dream about that, Steve.Another problem with such a study Stephanie, is getting the homophobes to actually tell the truth.God knows (heh) that's damned near impossible from the start.

Several tee-shirt first drafts in here, I’m sure.

I’m sorry, Janie. I couldn’t hear your wicked laughter over my own. I’ll just have to assume it was everywhere, since I can’t reread your comment until the tears stop.I don’t know whether studies have been done, but the anecdotal evidence certainly calls for some. Of course, the problem is getting people to stop spouting bible verses long enough to answer the questions. Something about stereotyped behavior cropping up in uncomfortable situations–like rocking when you’re upset.

Oh damn. I forgot the wicked laughter. I hate when I do that. Just insert it wherever you feel it’s appropriate in that last comment.Thanks,

I felt the judgement of God once. Let’s just say he’s a little… underwhelming. I tried not to snicker, but it didn’t make any difference, seeing how God is all omniscient and stuff. I told him they have creams and pumps to help with that, but he didn’t take it so well, as he’s got a very fragile ego. (Ever actually read the Old Testament, other than the parts your pastor told you to memorize? Talk about insecurities!)As for “Wicked Ways”… Yes. I vote yes. I’m all about Teh Wicked. I revel in it. I wallow in it. I am the wanton Whore of Babylon, and I shall be coming into your dreams this very night.If you’re lucky, so will you.(As an aside, has anyone else noticed the apparently strong correlation between homophobia and sexual self-repression? Has there been a good study done on that?)
