Sure, blame the schools, and of course the ‘radical homosexuals.’ Growing up, the only folks I ever saw passing out recruitment materials were Evangelical Christians (in schools and on street corners). If ‘almost every woman’ around you is claiming this, then look at your surroundings. On the other hand, it’s probably just more likely that people today can and are more open about their relationships. Straight people ‘flaunt’ their sexuality all the time – it’s just that we’re all pretty much used to it.

Maybe your two co-workers don’t want to ‘relate to you’ either and figured out a way to keep you away by talking about something that causes you ‘repulsion and hatred.’ Or maybe the conversation was a private one … and it’s entirely probably that the staring isn’t even staring but a glance in your direction so they can get out of the way. So, what are you to do? Let me put my manager hat on. I’m not going to lecture you on what I perceive to be your bias, but I would tell you to: 1) Think before you speak in the future. 2) Mind your own business. 3) Get back to work.

You used the word ‘repulsive.’ Is it the contact with someone else (or their presence) that causes the reaction? Do you masturbate? And if you do, do you fantasize? (And about what?) How long have you had these feelings? For a lot of people, sex – just sex – without the context of a relationship with someone where ‘everything clicks’ just isn’t in the cards. Pressuring yourself to have sex outside of the emotional context that is right for you can set up a vicious cyle that may end up keeping you from finding the right person/relationship where sex is enjoyable. If the problem isn’t on the emotional side, but ‘mechanics’ there are more solutions today than ever. It doesn’t even have to be Viagra. Sometimes it’s just a matter of finding what feels good to you (when you do it yourself) and then hooking up with a partner who can do just that – thank heaven for the internet!

Here at The Post, however, the two are seen as quite different. A hate crime homicide such as Shepard’s and, four months before that, James Byrd’s in Jasper, Tex., is, ‘a special kind of killing,’ The Post has editorialized. ‘It tells a segment of American society that its physical safety is at risk.’ Arkansas authorities have not characterized the Dirkhising death as a hate crime. Matthew Shepard’s death sparked public expressions of outrage that themselves became news. That Jesse Dirkhising’s death has not done so to date is hardly the fault of The Washington Post.’ The whole article is @ http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1999-11/14/054l-111499-idx.html

I have friends living out in the country, and at first glance, their yard is cluttered – swingsets, bikes, kids toys, etc. Not living in a subdivision or other development, the bikes on the lawn take on a cluttered look. But go to what most would consider a back yard, where they entertain, and it’s entirely different – landscaped and manicured.
Another factor of ‘city living’ – at least in this part of the country – is that most subdivisions or developments have deed restrictions and owners associations that have strict rules as to the placement of satellite dishes and other installations, as well as requirements to keep your lawn mowed and even restricted on-street parking.

Linking sexual abuse with homosexuality is part of the pattern of disinformation used by the so-called “ex-gay ministries” – along with the old distant father/overbearing mother theory – all of which have been debunked by legitimate authorities. Gay children and teens are far more likely to face physical and mental abuse and harrassment – from peers and even parents – often in the name of Christian love.
