BiteSize: Dee: Your intelligence and reason shine out of this polemic as they do out of all your posts. Thank you.
DMW: Over the past year of visiting LPSG and its predecessor I've had many occasions to admire your honesty and compassion. Along with those qualities goes your pride: you are proud of what you are, proud of what you've achieved, and proud to define yourself as gay. But there are many of us whose sexuality defies convenient labelling.
Probably most of us are capable of being sexual omnivores, depending on a complex mix of factors: circumstances and opportunity; education and conditioning; love, companionship, and self-image; and all that's without even starting to think about the mysteries of the libido and raw physical attraction. Personally, I think those of us who are honest enough with ourselves can enjoy sex (or the thought of it) with both males and females. And, again, if we're honest with ourselves, we accept it as a simple fact of our existence and therefore it's not something to be either proud of or ashamed of - any more than one would be proud of eating meat but never touching fish.
Sorry about all the food analogies. It's lunchtime in Moscow.
