I read that guy's little ditty on explaining what is msm. He sounds like a political activist or something, and those are circles I and friends I have (who are gay) do not run in, so we might not be aware of the term msm. I don't run in any activist circles because I don't like to be told how to live by others. Some political activists are the worst for that. I hate: "You're not being a good and proper gay person unless you..." kinds of talk. I think you point this out when you mention writing by Susie Bright (whom I have never read.) I don't label myself as gay and that gets people really mad at me since I've been with the same woman for almost 30 years. Believe me, I have been called homophobic for it, and so I mostly just stay to myself because, well, how can I ever make stupid humans understand my personal experiences that I literally cannot label

Anyway, thanks for this.

And it's so nice to know that I'm not the only one who looked at that whole kerfluffle and thought, "But--they're make-believe!"
