I’m so very tired of this gay = sex thing. I have to say, when two women in flannel with large iron skimming spoons are stirring maple syrup under beautiful fall foliage the absolute last thing I’m likely to think about is “Hey, they have sex, heh heh, heh heh.” And I know what the word means! Sigh. Bill O’Reilly (and other folks who are up in arms about this) need to stop projecting. It’s one thing to protect children from inappropriate sexual material. It’s another to cocoon them in one quilted happy life filled with asexual stuffed animals with no signs of affection from any one grownup to any other grownup. Sexuality and affection are normal, and to totally shield children from the idea of them is to create psychological issues and intolerance later on. Or is that the point?

Still, I’m all for what he calls the subliminal “gay is okay” approach.
