You guys know I enjoy my politics BUT all these darn Romney and Obama commercials are getting a bit too much…. and there is a long way to go.

One of the talking points this last week is on abortions.  I’d consider myself a republican (maybe more of a libertarian) – and republicans want smaller government and in general we want government to butt out of our lives.  Why the fuck then are a bunch of old white men telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies?

Does anyone else think that is an oxymoron?  And I love the way they stand on the bible while they spill this dribble (I’m not talking so much about the candidates as much as I’m talking about the extreme points of view).

They spill the same dribble when it comes to who you and I choose to sleep with.

I saw this posted on a blog that I read and thought it was funny and I hope it is true.

In her radio show, Dr. Laura Schlessinger 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. It’s funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1.  Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev. 15:19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev. 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination? Should I smite him?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev. 24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

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.

P. S. It would be a damn shame if we can’t own a Canadian.

I was talking to Mr. Big Cock tonight – unfortunately he has some family in town and has to entertain them so we can’t catch up.  I did mention to him that if he has any other ‘fuck buddies’ that next time he should bring them along.  His response was kinda funny – he said he has one guy but that he is a bit too ‘gay’ for me.

What is with that?  I definitely prefer str8 activing guys and that is exactly what I am but when it comes to fuck buddies – I’m not picky at all.

I’m wondering if any of you guys have experienced this, “you aren’t gay enough“, kind of attitude.

Through business and even my blog I’ve experienced this since I began in the business.  I’ve had bloggers not trade links with me because my blog isn’t ‘strickly gay’.  I’ve had a close friend of mine who is a pretty str8 acting guy tell me I probably shouldn’t go to a party in Sydney because it would be too ‘gay’ for me.

It doesn’t bother me but I do find it interesting that for so long anyone with homosexual tendencies (which I obviously have) struggled to be accepted and now some people (a minority for sure) have turned this around.

I’d be interested to hear what you guys think about this or if you’ve ever had similar experiences.

I’ve recently become a fan of the sitcom “How I met your mother” and I was watching it with some friends last week and they told me that Neil Patrick Harris is gay.  You know the guy – from Doogie Howser MD.  I love his character on “How I met your mother” and love how he did cameos in the Harold and Kumar movies.

That is awesome that he is gay and out – if I didn’t know this I wonder who else is gay.

I read this interview last week which was posted on Brenton’s Aussielicious blog. I found it quite interesting and I think it might create some interesting comments.

Mr S is a bisexual married man who’s been a reader of Aussielicious for a couple of years now. He was kind enough to take part in this interview for you all to hear about being bisexual and married. Bisexuality is a hot topic among gay people, often doubting it’s true existence. Here’s a man who is adamant it exists.

How old are you? I am 27 years old.

Have you always considered yourself Bi? No. Up until I went to university, I considered myself straight. Yes, as part of playing sports there was some always a lot of banter and goofing around, but I had never given thought to actual sex with a man until later.

What would you estimate the gender ratio of sexual partners has been over the years? Okay, I was kind of a man-slut in my HS and college days, so I would say the gender ratio was about 100-7 over the years, in favor of women.

How long have you been married? A little over 3 years.

Has your wife always known about your bisexuality? Not exactly. I did tell her about a few frat house episodes, but never admitted to full-on bisexuality. She believes those days are long-gone.

How did you tell her? Before I asked her to marry me, I told her I wanted her to be fully aware of what she was getting into with me, so I just flat-out told her everything – all the women, and some of the men.

How often would you estimate you have sex outside your relationship with your wife? About 15 times.

Is the sex outside the marriage only with men or other women too? Only with men. My wife is the only woman with whom I sleep.

Do you think your wife suspects? I don’t think she has any idea.

What would you say to people who think there are no truly bisexual people? That they have no idea what it’s like to be attracted to both genders. I’ve always found both men and women attractive. I now find both genders sexually desirable. My ex-boyfriend finally told his mother and sister that he’s bi and they think bisexuality is just a stop on the train ride to Gaytown. They couldn’t be more wrong, IMO!

If the situation were reversed and you were in a relationship with a man, do you think you would sleep with women on the side? I don’t know. I’ve thought about it and if I were to commit to a relationship with a man, we would be perceived as a gay couple, and I think I would want to honor that perception. But the reality is that I would probably sleep with women on the side.
I’d like to say I’m not proud of cheating with men. It’s that there’s no good societally-acceptable way for bisexuals to exist. I try to minimize it, but sometimes the need for intimacy with a man is just overpowering and I succumb to temptation.

I’m keen to hear your thoughts on this guys.

Over the last couple of months I’ve noticed a certain train of thought….

That I should just come out and annouce my homosexuality.

Thing is… I’m not homosexual. I’m not hetrosexual either. I am a bit of both – hence the word bisexuality.

Bisexuality is a sexual orientation which refers to the romantic and/or sexual attraction of individuals to others of both genders (socially) or sexes (biologically). Most bisexuals are not equally attracted to men and women and may even shift between states of finding either gender or sex exclusively attractive over the course of time.However, some bisexuals are and remain fairly static in their level of attraction throughout their adult life.

Although observed in a variety of forms in human societies and in the animal kingdom throughout recorded history, the term bisexuality (like the terms hetero- and homosexuality) was only coined in the 19th century.

I like this....

Perhaps it is because of my nomadic existence these days but I comfortable being ‘in the closet’ to some of my friends and family while in different circles I’m more than happy to be known as someone who is very open minded.

Unfortunately, not everyone that I know is open minded enuf to understand that. And I’m not on a crusade to change peoples minds so what they don’t know doesn’t hurt them. I’m sure there are hypothetical scenarios which would cause a conflict of where I would step up and show my true colours (as has happened to Aaron) but that hasn’t happened yet and if it does I’ll deal with it then.

I like this too....

If you guys sound interested then I would like to discuss this more over the coming weeks (leave a comment if you are). Two great bloggers Aaron (in Montreal) and Matt (in LA) have both written about their ‘coming out’ and ‘not coming’ out experiences over the last couple of days. They both have completely difference experiences and although my reaction has been different I don’t think any of us are wrong – just different.

And if there are any girls who are going to be in Queenstown who want to test out my bisexuality then count me in – haha.
