This is funny ...
Nov. 1st, 2002 03:13 pmFreerepublic.com is an amazingly far-right-wing website where assorted nuts illegally post articles taken from an assortment of news sites, to which they add their paranoiac overheated annotations. Still, I think one person might have gotten it, in regards to this article:

"Re: gay men with straight women friends: It's not a joke. Women like gay men because they're good conversationalists, know where the best restaurants are, really know how to shop, are interested in a lot of the same things, and *need* women in many cases for social cover. Gay men also like the adulation lavished on them by straight women (which shows that masculinity isn't necessarily a function of sexual orientation - most men like attractive women to pay attention to them and make them look "cool.")"
Turns out that sexuality is a continuum, and their silly little minds can't quite encompass that. Ah, fun.
