Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender - October 2006

I think I need to be more strait forward to pick up women. Sitting around waiting for it to happen certainly isn't working. I'm scared that if I hit on a woman I'll get a really bad reaction. Anyone have any self esteem builders?

have you seen that episode on "tyra", the one with the family that SO TOTALLY hates homosexuals?

New Jersey could become the nation's gay wedding chapel should the state's highest court rule in favor of same-sex marriages, adversaries on the issue agree.

The New Jersey Supreme Court is poised to release its highly anticipated decision Wednesday in a case brought by seven gay couples who say the state constitution allows them to marry, said Winnie Comfort, a spokeswoman for the state judiciary.

New Jersey is one of only five states with neither a law nor a state constitutional amendment blocking same-sex marriage. As a result, the state is more likely than others to allow gays to wed, said advocacy groups on both sides.

Only Massachusetts — by virtue of a 2003 ruling from that state's top court — allows gay marriages.

Proponents and opponents from across the country are watching the case closely.

"New Jersey is a stepping stone," said Matt Daniels, president of the Virginia-based Alliance for Marriage, a group pushing for an amendment to the federal Constitution to outlaw same-sex marriage. "It's not about New Jersey."

From a practical standpoint, the Massachusetts court decision made little impact nationally because the state has a law barring out-of-state couples from wedding there if their marriages would not be recognized in their home states.

New Jersey has no such law.

If both situations involve providing recognition to "consenting adults" who are in love and want to share and spend the rest of thier lives together how can you separate them? I know there are other issues you could point to in polygamy, like problems with forcing marriage and underage matters, but removing those problems/issues, and if they are consenting adults, I don't see any way you could make one legal and not the other.

I know a female who says she is a lesbian but she ***** men and says that she has no feelings for them. She claims she is only using them for "their tool". She calls herself a lesbian guy f****r. It makes no sense to me.

Ive got a very good friend that went overseas. I guess his internet access isnt as reliable as in America, and we use to talk every single day for hours. It sucks when I dont hear from him in a day. Three days with nothing in my inbox feels shitty. Anyway, how do I tell him to try to write more?! without sounding insecure and demanding?

Straight guys now get face peels, botox injections, wear make-up/fake tan lotions, buy Armani suits and top of the range cologne and are more concious of being better cooks and buy designer decor. Looking at guys on the street, is it harder now to instantly 'pick' gay men?

I have always been intrigued by this question about hetrosexuality and homosexuality. Why they are so clearly defined.

I am hetrosexual and I am not sexually attracted to the same sex. So let me pose this question. Why do hetrosexual men state that another man is either handsome or ugly.

Where does this notion derive from, is it because you are attracted to that person or is it part of our conditioning to state opinions about other humans.

Has a man I am attracted to certain qualities in a womans appearance and would in no doubt also feel sexually attracted to her as well. So whats stops you going that one step forward when you see attractive qualities in another man.

Scientific theoretical answers only please

Is it too soon to invite someone to dinner and cook it yourself on a first date ? I have nothing against going out, but then, that would cause more complications visa ve: vegetarian, price (as in splitting check) etc?

Now, I know we already have more than enough names and labels and people continuously grapple with them, but at the same time, labels are a means of empowerment- an affirmation that your sexuality is valid (now we can say gay/lesbian/bisexual rather than "the love that dare not speak it's name", etc.).

Most labels are seriously lacking- they don't address a lot of the nuances of complex human sexuality, but they work fine enough. However, I just have not found a good way to say that I am sexually attracted to transsexuals/transgenders (of both genders). It is probably very easy to say that I am bisexual, but what I hate about that is that when others hear it, they do not automatically assume that means TS or TG people, and even less that that is my sole attraction. It marginalizes them and makes them invisible, in my opinion. Not to mention leaves me in a pickle in wanting to accurately describe myself to others. So,

1) More labels?
2) What would they be?
3) Other thoughts?

Why would any gay person want to be a right wing conservative? Why be part of a party that looks down on you for your sexual preference? I just don't get this.

what kind of parties do you go to? clothing optional (once you arrive) overnighters, or do you go home with the leather?

My friend mentioned that he's wearing a pirate costume for Hallowe'en. Another friend cautioned him, saying "you know, if you wear pirate gear, you're telling people that you're gay". Well, I had never heard this before, but if anyone knows it's you folks here. So is it true? Is a pirate costume on a man a code for gayness, like an earring in his right ear? Or is it just another silly rumor?

Thanks!
