Letter to Dr. Laura - Absolutely Hilarious This has been circulating on the internet, but I haven’t seen it before. I thought you might find it rather amusing. It is very clever… In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. Dear Dr. Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging. Your adoring fan. I read this, having received it by email from a good friend, and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

I love you, man! (Thoughts on the restricted nature of straight men's friendships.) | www.xyonline.net The other day as I picked up my daughter from daycare I heard a young boy (who was probably around four years old) calling out to another young boy across the parking lot. “HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!” he yelled. “I LOVE YOU!” The other boy stopped dead in his tracks, turned around, and loudly called back: I found their exchange utterly charming. But at the same time it got me to thinking: just how long will it be before these two young boys reach a point where it is no longer socially acceptable for them to loudly profess their love for one another? Loving another man somehow makes you gay? Ask a straight woman about her close female friendships, and it is highly unlikely that she is going bother wasting any breath asserting that she is not a lesbian. So just how do we hetero guys “connect”? Take fishing, for instance. Sometimes the activities slow, the fish stop biting, the game ends, and intimacy begins to emerge even so. Yes. And this homophobia harms us straight guys as well. What?

The coming out story I never thought I'd write - Life stories I’ve read stories from people who say they always knew they were attracted to the same sex, or that they figured it out at a young age. I’m not one of them. I had practically no idea until one night in my sophomore year of high school. Only it couldn’t be. I just didn’t fit the stereotypes of gay men. My confidence would swell each time I convinced myself a girl was attractive – and it would crater whenever a guy provoked a much stronger, more instinctive response. Eventually, I learned how to compartmentalize. By the time I got to Boston University, I’d buried my secret so deep that I barely thought about it when I was with my new friends. I found my mark on a Friday night in late October 2000. The news radio station was playing a report on the Bush-Gore race as I squeezed into an on-street parking space near the Oak Square section of Boston. When I got home, I took off my clothes and threw them in the trash. It was three years before I did anything more. We talked daily.
