Personally, I think that this country by and large is sexually repressed and we need to ask the questain 'what is sexuality?' I see the open expression of two mature people's affection for one another, what ever there gender, as beutiful and health as long as there are no power issues invoved (I think this would excude pedephilia and incest.) When people margenalize people of any oriantaion or gender idenity everyone is deminished. I can only imagine what it is like to telling family and friends that 'I am gay' or 'lesbian'. I wonder what it is like to grow up being called a man but see myself as a woman, and vice virsa. I have difficulty dealing with my own sexuality and there is no social stigma attached to my orintation. (Its my upbringing). Sorry, I get a little preachy some times, but, I feel very passionate about this.
