Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 23 Jeff asks "Why be gay?" Well, from the perspective of some of MY gay friends, the answer is "why not?" Actually, those who would answer that way are more bisexual than exclusively homosexual; their feeling is that you shouldn't cut yourself off from the possibility of loving and being loved by someone of your own sex. Rationale for this includes believing that someone of the same sex can share more of your feelings, since you have more in common. (After hearing this a lot from close friends, I've begun to feel narrow-minded for being straight!) I've always had a sneaking suspicion that I might be open to a relationship with an MOTSS if I felt better about myself. The differences in men are enough to distract me every time. . . Vive, as it has been said, la difference! Wendy ["Romance is not a children's game. . . But you keep going back-- It's driving you insane. . ."~]
