To borrow a vintage phrase, "how dare you presume" ANYONE's interested
in impressing heterosexuals?  It seems like a pretty childish (& arro-
gant) presumption to me.  And why would that be an aim of a gay dis-
cussion forum in any case?

Granted that in politics you do what you have to to garner votes, and
that traditionally involves a lot of foolish activites (like kissing
babies or impressing heterosexuals).  

But I'm not running for president this year.

By the way, the rest of "you" aren't heterosexual: take a closer look
and you might find a lot of gay & bisexual people in ANY audience.
