The Lifestyle section of the May 26th contained 2 articles which concerned sexuality. The actress Cynthia Nixon got flack from the homosexual contingent for statements questioning the idea that sexuality was fixed. She can serve as her own posterperson (my own coinage) as someone who went from a long term heterosexual relationship to marriage to a same sex partner. The article contains a quote which with the appropriate word substitutions should be applied to most statements in the blogosphere.
“Different strokes for different folks,” she said. “My view of my sexuality is just my view. It has nothing to do with your view of your sexuality or even my view of your sexuality.”There was an article by Augusten Burroughs (Running with Scissors) about the loss of the word "boyfriend" now that he married his agent. He classified the both of them as "bad gays" because they did not fall into the pattern of tastefully married gays: no tasteful wedding, aspirations for children, or a honeymoon.
His statement
A man who frequently smells like cheeseburgers and makes me laugh hard every day and makes me want to be worthy of being his husband.gets at what people find attractive and bonding in each other.
