Maybe he meant ‘brother’ in the North American Muslim sense!

Suraj, the fact that you find yourself so concerned about my “gay”ness, as you put it, do you think that’s reflective of an inherent insecurity in your perspective on life, or your own identity, or just that you think it’s something I should keep completely and utterly to myself because it somehow disturbs you? I could say the same thing about “unsolicited” and “blatant” public displays of heterosexuality that make me feel “uneasy”, but I suck it up and deal because I don’t particularly find it disturbing or offensive, and more importantly, it’s none of my damn’ business; when it makes me that uncomfortable, I just ignore or avoid it. I’m certainly happy to hear from the few folk that you mention, but (a) please don’t call me “bro” because that’s an endorsement of a heterocentric discourse that discomfits me immensely, what with its straight-frat-boy connotations, and if you don’t like my saying “gay” stuff, then I have no problem pointing out the many “straight” things you may have written that make me uncomfortable; (b) feel free to completely avoid my posts if the mention of my homosexuality somehow leads to your curling up in the foetal position, overcome with angst; and (c) it was a joke, and if you simply can’t see beyond my sexuality with regards to that, really not my issue.

Ahhh so now you have an inkling as to how queers feel about the constant display of hetrosexuality that we have been suject to for our entire life. One gay voice on this blog and your freaking out, remember, the remaining voices are all straight. And, if Sin refrences his sexuality in his posts, how is this different from talking about having kids, seeking a girlfriend, or a girl fighiting off unwanted advances from men?

Anyways, with that out of the way, I can return to oggling researching kabadi players. What a wonderfully educational post! Men in just gitch engaged in combat has always intrested me, for those with similar interest I direct you to: Yagli Gures otherwise known as Turkish oil wrestling.

it could be worse. you cold be sitting in the foodcourt in peachtree mall listening to walking in a winter wonderland for the thousandth time.
