Usually I agree with, and enjoy KIWI's rather eloquent comments, this being the first in days of yore I find myself dissenting.
While it may be true, and seeming true to KIWI, and sundry, that sexcapades in our parks, our sand dunes, and native forests are no longer necessary perhaps things are not so crystal clear to those men still living closeted lives, who could never infer the carefree gay world KIWI, and sundry, describe, where gay men are not assaulted and murdered as they move out with their dates from those public restaurants, bars, and ball parks, where children are not bullied to extermination, where gay men and women, far from being stigmatized, are afforded the respect of their countrymen, marrying and divorcing, as they please, in all fifty states, who unpropitious to KIWIS Utopia still feel compelled to covertly frequent parks and holder areas. Things are only starting to get better, but equality is still a VERY long way off.
“One of the many benefits of being easy with one's self, and being supported by others as a gay man, is that we don't have to sneak around hoping to get man-on-man influence in places like this, risking fear of being caught,” writes KIWI . . . the operative little talk being “comfortable.” Perhaps not everyone is as comfortable as KIWI with their sexuality, and being honest in this brave new world of KIWI’s, but I am wondering where is the support for these men touted by KIWI? Or is that beam reserved only for those living outside the closet, or who conduct themselves according to KIWI’s statute book for gay men?
