The deaf gay couple (they don't make much noise, you see) who live under our
house motioned to me the other day that they sign "cheeze twist" for homosexual
in conversation.  It seems that there is no way to say "cheeze twist" orally
without sounding 'femme'.  Try it!

Aaaaaaaah!   There's that ole 'Het' bias showing again.  And it even looks like
a slam against the deaf!!  Or people who live under houses, I suppose.  Well,
there are those who would take offense if I said, "Good Morning".  Loosen up gang!  

Keep chargin'
