I know that it probably sounds odd, but if gays back-pedaled on that issue they would not cringe at their own rhetoric. I sometimes wonder if gays have not been inveigled by religionist propaganda to enact a form of childish reactionism. You know, making such a big issue of the right to sodomy when in fact it may not constitute any great freedom or be so central to the gay lifestyle. I am gay and I am not at all into anal. I don’t have an ovum to inseminate – nor does my partner. We do not educate young men in other means of sexual interaction. Gay is not necessarily a synonym for sodomite.
