Why are straight women so obsessed with gay sex?

Please. Don’t. I may cry. Apparently, I’m not only straight (*laughs uproariously*) but am also married!

All I can hear is Murray from Flight of the Conchords say "That's terrible."

*snorts* that works perfectly

but am also married!

Is it too late to send a gift? ;-)

Strewth, though it's sort of positive in the end it doesn't half parade the cliches out to get there. Slash explained using Kirk and Spock (and I bet they aren't thinking the Pike and Quinto versions.) Romance novels with Fabio on the cover. (Hint, people, check some modern romance novels in bookshops selling new books, not the ones in that box you inherited from your granny.) And I'm personally not a suburban lady, thanks very much. Well, I am a lady.

Once again journalism with every single original thought completely extracted before publication.

What is depressing is that I thought that the gay media would be more positive than the straight media. I told Ms Wilson that the angle "what are these crayzee straights doing with our gay porn?" had been done to death, but apparently that didn't sink in, and she went down the same old path.

That's not journalism, that's an opinion piece ripped from an article (or: editorial). "Journalism" at least makes an attempt to research. And writing about somebody without checking the facts and giving the person opportunity to comment - actually opens you up to libel claims.

Erastes, you do have grounds for a libel case right here, if you want it. (I had libel training today... go figure).

Seems like most "journalists" apply the lazy standards of bloggers these days. I'm flabbergasted.

Well you know in showbiz they say you know you've made it when the gay rumors start. I don't suppose the reverse is true.

"Author inned by major gay magazine."

It's not really man bites dog, is it?

Oh my. I'm so happy to see reading comprehension is so high on Gawker.

I am a bit surprised by the accompanying pictures to the Out! article, though. Somehow I'd always thought of you as tall and willowy, like our boy Lucius. :-)

I'd love to discuss some of the article with you, if/when you're up for it.

[erastes]

I admit to not having read it, but please - discuss away!

[venivincere]

I'm shattered, darling. What, no announcement?

[erastes]

I know. I'm gutted.

All those toasters I missed out on.
