Hi Aries54,

Thank you for your concern and for your advice
including the information about the animal world.
Bringing up this topic may not disarm prejudice
but I think it's a good place to start.

I wrote earlier that I love insults. You always find
out amazing things about yourself you never knew.(smile).

Hi AC,

Kids look at drag queens in a totally different light.
And kids love dress-ups. It's the adults who get their
knickers in a twist. The kids just enjoy the Storytimes.
"Look at the Princess, isn't she beautiful!"

And kids can't understand the adult proetests.

"Why are the grown-ups shouting at us?" Asked a bewildered
child.

Anyway, parents don't have to bring their kids to the
Storytime sessions - certainly not in libraries.

Anyway, contrary to misconceptions, exposing children
to diverse gender identities creates a more accepting
environment - which is fundamental for the development
of well-adjusted adults.

Foxy,

I find it difficult to believe that men that rape boys are straight.

"A friend of flight attendant Luke Davies says anti-police protesters have "hijacked a national tragedy" for their own cause, following a demonstration that shut down a major intersection in Sydney on Friday night."

"Mr Bailey revealed he wrote to the Mardi Gras board asking them to reverse its initial decision to uninvite NSW Police officers from marching in Saturday's parade.

[He] said he believed the board's initial decision was a "knee-jerk reaction to a small vocal group"."

Of course most issues these days on the progressive side are "knee-jerk reaction to a small vocal group". We spent millions on a referendum to satisfy the screams of a small vocal group.

Homosexuality's long history does not make it ‘normal’, even though that excuse invariably pops up when people want to defend the practice. It just means that the abnormal condition is nothing new. We all know that; and I always get a laugh out of the comparison of some humans doing the same things that some animals do. That makes it OK, as well, apparently. Not only can we talk to the animals (Dr. Doolittle) we can shag like them as well.

Hi Shadow Minister,

You say that you find it hard to believe that men who
rape boys are straight?

That's not surprising. Many people have been raised to
believe that homosexuality is immoral - hence gay men
and women in Australia still continue to face a range of
formal and informal discriminations.

If I manage to survive the rest of the week, I would
like my straight jacket in hot pink and my helmet
to sparkle. (smile).
