Daily Blague

Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say.

Just kidding. So who issues this Seal? Is it a federal agency? Does the Bush administration use it to vet judicial nominees? Do you get a lapel pin? Or a tatoo? And if so, where? So many questions.

Too bad, had you been declared officially gay, you would have helped a deserving young homosexual to win a toaster for bringing another one into the fold; a four slicer by Dualite , no less.

Let's not go overboard on the self-congratulation of being deemed "straight." You responded to a gay blog about "Kinky, Kinkier, Kinkiest.....

What I responded to, cher pépé, was the request of a perfect gentleman, made via email to me personally.

Who subsequently outed me as straight.

Yeah, I am with PPOQ, you did answer. While you may have been deemed straight, it was through participation that this declaration was made. Not too many straight men respond to even polite requests of this nature by gentlemen (and can you really be a gentleman if you are posting about "what is kinky?" on the internet?).

Also, you gave me a heart attack this morning. I thought spam was attacking your posts and not just the comments!

I'm just saying that we shouldn't celebrate anyone being an absolute of anything. There is no black or white.

Well that, chère Mlle NOLA, was the whole point of my entry. There is no gay, there is no straight, there are only things people like to do. Some people like to hook up with the opposite sex, some people don't. And some haven't figured out what they want to do. It is totally unimportant and uninteresting, and when we finally dethrone the patriarchy nobody will think of these things at all.

Our real enemy, as always since the emergence of political conscience among workers, is The Man.

Well, your intention may have been admirable, and I do agree with your comments about The Man, BUT I didn't get that as the point of your first post, and remember, a perfect gentleman can politely refuse to post about private matters--or, about any matters.

True, PPOQ. That message about patriarchy and people doing what they want was not evident in what your post stated. Even ironically.

I think this begs a longer post on The Man.

Death to the Patriarchy,
Ms. NOLA

Amen.
