don't you think that he might save face just a little before he's out of office? At least he would be remembered by many for something positive. Do you think that that's even been suggested to him by his people?

Let's say these 2 crazy kids had sex & had kids. Then later, the dad realized he was gay. Would their son/daughter have a higher chance of homosexuality?

I was born with a malformation on my brainstem. As a result, I have facial paralysis and some visual problems. My disability is somewhat noticeable to others, depending on how long you look at me. People have on occasion asked me about it. My friends and I disagree on whether it is out of line. Personally I'm not really bothered. I feel that if it starts a dialogue it's a good thing. What is your opinion on this?

Thanks in advance.

I'm a high school art teacher, an out lesbian and in a good long term relationship. A 17 year old girl in my class came out to me and subsequently fell in love with me. My problem is that, after coming out, she stopped working in my class. She turns up drunk at my house when she knows my partner is not home. Her parents have threatened legal action and because of my position and 'out' status, i'm at the losing end.
I try to get her cooperation, but the more i engage, the less concerned she is about her work. I've tried ignoring her, but it does not work either. She only goes out of the way to get my attention, and then rubs it in my face. She has loads of talent and i don't want to force her to take another subject.
I am the only gay teacher at a very conservative school in South Africa.
HELP!

Quote from the same-sex marriage debate in the New York State Assembly:

"I do not want a seat in your synagogue, I do not want a pew in your church. I seek a license that many of you have had, some of you have had two or three times."

--New York Assemblyman Daniel O'Donnell

I am in Michigan because my girl cousin and my wife's boy cousin, who met at our wedding in Massachussetts, are getting married this week and we have family things planned with both sets of relatives.

One of my distant cousins, who didn't attend, just said that our cousins' upcoming nuptials "sort of redeem what you did" and, while I was stunned from that, expressed her hope that "you two can come out of that lifestyle and know their joy."

I told her she could "take this as an RSVP--we're not coming to [her mom's, my great-aunt's] house" tonight." And then I slammed the phone in her ear. But I'm still really, really upset, and I'll be seeing her a couple days from now if not earlier.

If any friends here could please explain to me why I shouldn't scream, cuss and/or take a swing at her when I see her, I'd *really* appreciate it.

I personally believe the Native Americans had it the worst. There are only like 17 left and they live in North Dakota. America took there land, killed of the buffalo all in the name of "Manifest Destiny", then told them to like in North Dakota. THERE IS NOTHING THERE! Or maybe the Jews? From what I understand, they killed Jesus and have been hated for like 3000 years....Oh and the holocaust....

I'm curious to learn about the whole "downlow" phenomenon. How do men who identify as "straight" or as "closeted bisexual" (and who like to have sex with other men) meet each other?

Do they make a pass at another guy at a gym or something?

Why do people that don't approve of Lesbian, Gay and Transgendered people post in this section? Or, for that matter even look at the questions?

I just watched a video that talked about a school who made a rule stating that there was no touching allowed on campus. Several months ago, there was that whole ordeal where the Aliso Niguel principal, Dr. Charles Salter, banned the dances for inappropriate dancing. Are highschool principals getting too strict? Touching is a part of life...high fives, slaps on the back, fancy handshakes....it's all part of it! I don't understand, why you would completely ban something so harmless. Imagine all the strange conversations among the students AND teachers that followed. "Oh, sorry, man. I'd give you a high five but Mrs. What's-Her-Face is standing right there." And everyone knows that there WERE better solutions to solving the freak dancing problem at Aliso Niguel. That shouldn't have been a big deal from the start. People now a days are generally less reserved than they were several years ago.

My question is...
Do you think principals and teachers are too strict, nowadays?

Over time I have come to find out that every woman feels different when penetrated. I would like to know what females prefer when a male has a toy that faces south instead of north. If you understand the question, please reply

On the news yesterday, there was a story about gangs of 'violent, criminal lesbians' forming who assault people for no reason, rape young girls and commit crimes with PINK Glock .9mm's I'm sorry, but the idea of roaming gangs of rogue, wild-eyed, blood-thirsty lesbians carrying pink pistols sounds just a little too far-fetched to me. Did anyone else catch this little clip on FOXNEWS (yeah, I know...don't say it...)?

I know some people aren't going to bother reading a lengthy post, so I'll post random facts: (He is English btw, as some of the terms relate to British terms.)

1) He's in a long-term relationship with me. I'm half Chinese/half White.
2) He is attracted to minority girls, but I'm the first non-white girl he's dated.
3) He WAS a skinhead and had skinhead friends. However he told me it has nothing to do with race,and it was a working class thing? He told me he wasn't racist and that it was just a blue collar thing.
4) He uses the n word and he calls Indians "Pak*". He also calls Eastern Asians "ch*nk*es". He also calls me one, but I call him "l*mey" in return. (Usually we call each other that in good humor)
5) He beat up his white friend for using the n word because he says he doesn't want anyone calling our future child names.
6) When he was young, his best friend was Indian.

So what is going on? Racist or not? I'm a bit confused because he seems "all over the place" in his ideolog
