My friendships with gay men (unfortunately no gay women), are legendary (in my own mind only, ofcourse). It saddens me that an intelligent poster such as yourself has now twisted my words out of context and intent. My use of the term freak was, as defined by the dictionary, an anomaly. It is your understanding of the word "freak" that is inadequate, because you have interpreted it in its corrupted connotation. Secondly, let me explain the meaning of the word anomaly. That which is different from the mainstream. Is homosexuality different from the mainstream of heterosexuality? Ofcourse it is! In our constant quest to prove who is the bigger liberal, let us not blur all definitions of what is mainstream. And while we are on this discussion about "gay rights", I would like to state that each one's sexuality, as long as it does not infringe upon the safety and rights of another individual, is their own choice. However, the "right" to raise children is another matter. I for one, hope that India does not encourage any such moves. Not because I think homosexuals are incapable of raising good moral human beings, but because I earnestly feel that the emotional well being of a child is best served in a two-gender family. There, I guess I'm not that liberal, after all. Now, where are my right-wing friends? Anyone? Anyone out there? :)) selma ---------------------------------- --- Aristo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyways, I just wanted to add some perspective from > the cause of > homosexuality - Nature or Nurture?
