I'm gay and have spent a lot of time struggling to reconcile my sexuality with my Catholic faith. However, I stopped trying in the last several years because of the Church's cover-up of sexual abuse. I can't find a shred of decency in their handling of the matter and now have no desire to expend any further logical,…

It would be hard to quantify how big the differential in motivation between straight men and straight women is, but in the broadest of strokes I think you're right about the general trend of women caring more about homophobia.

Thanks, I picked it awhile ago for lack of anything else clever to say about myself other than I was a guy posting on Jezebel. Though I suppose it's particularly apropos to posting beefcake photos.

I realize I'm all over this thread, but in other gay-athletics news, the NY Times had a great article today on Rick Welts, the President and CEO of the Phoenix Suns NBA team, officially coming out as gay.

Not to shortchange, Mr. Taylor.

Ben's already done so much for the gay community!

Even though yesterday was Saturday and today came afterward, I wonder if she wants this weekend to end?

I can totally sympathize. My school did weighted averages for AP classes, and at the start of the senior year I was ranked #2, as the salutatorian (one of my best friends was #1). So the girl who was ranked #3 at the time, dropped chorus from her schedule even though she had done it for 8 years and took a study…

I'm a gay guy in my mid-20s. As a rule I avoid anything physical or romantic with closeted or confused/questioning guys. I get that that can seem a little harsh, as I was once confused myself, however you're not under any obligation to help people figure out their own deal, which can quite frankly be really hard…

I love this song by her even more! [www.youtube.com]

No, height is a big advantage. Given the mechanics of the high jump, all the athletes do what's called the Fosbury Flop, the key is creating a high enough arch over the bar while your center of gravity technically remains below the bar. This is a big oversimplification, but imagine just jumping high enough to get…

In addition to being the best in the world, she also happens to be 6'4" and still embraces high heels!

That kind of is what happens in some places. Miami-Dade county passed it's own living restrictions on sex offenders that were so encompassing that many were forced into homelessness. Google: Julia Tuttle Causeway sex offender colony

I feel that this is all much ado about nothing as I can't see how at all this would be Constitutional. You're out in public, you can be photographed. The law is supposedly going to apply when reasonable parents would expect their child not to be photographed. Well, that never applies in public. There is no point…

It's super overreaching for convicted sexual predators too. We already restrict their movements, post-incarceration to a very high degree. What if a child wanders into their totally innocent photography shot? Sure, there would be some prosecutorial discretion, but since, as a class, sexual predators are already…

Well, their baby is a virgin that can't drive.

Goldie's career is Kate's something borrowed.

Tina, who doesn't fall into any of your categories, took time to dispel the myth about Asian guys while on Brittany's show. So I think that a penis reference (even if it's not specifically about Mike Chang, who has previously been described as interested in kissing only - Glee = inconsistent writing) still indicates…

Well, not to rush to the Church's defense in all things, but here, it doesn't actually look like the priest in question does think he did anything wrong.
