Being a tech-head, I'm really

In reply to When someone who's into gay

Being a tech-head, I'm really ignorant about Queer Theory, so I'm really just going on my ignorant observations, but I think the dichotomy between heterosexuals and homosexuals is not just an invention. I.e., I think there are real, genetic differences (although I don't want to oversimplify it, either) between heterosexual and homosexual males. (I know next to nothing about women, and even less about homosexual women.) Of course, Foucault was fighting against the idea that there's something deviant (i.e., "wrong") with homosexuals, not just that they're different. Also, he died in the '80s before a lot of the recent genetic discoveries were made. I do know that there are a lot of homosexuals who don't care for his theories, either, as they can be easily misconstrued to support the idea that homosexuality can be "cured" (although Foucault himself would never suggest such a thing, of course).

In reply to Michel Foucault would suggest

When someone who's into gay bondage says that even he isn't entirely gay, I think that's kind of hard to discount.

Michel Foucault would suggest

Michel Foucault would suggest that no one is really, thoroughly gay. He would suggest that the homosexual versus heterosexual dichotomy is an invention of the modern era.

Of course, he was into leather and S&M, so take that with a grain of salt…

Am I missing something here?

If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman ...

If you're really, thoroughly gay, you would NOT lie with a woman under any circumstances, right? So you've got a free pass, Bible-wise.

Gee, when you put it that

Gee, when you put it that way, it seems so obvious.

I think it's truly unbelievable that you are literally comparing someone tragically losing their life to Sarah Palin's failing career. You can recover from brutal comments, you can't recover from someone brutally killing you.

In a way, I have some measure

In a way, I have some measure of respect for the people who are making some kind of effort to actually read and live by the book that they blaim to be so into. The "buffet style" Christians are way less fun. Now if only we had more bull burning and stoning going on, then we'd have some real fun on our hands.

That's fair.
