OK, so we do agree insofar as I understand you. I am noy sure of the point
or moral of the sad but intersting story of "A," which I have deleted
below, or why his unwanted attentions pressed on the vulnerable tell us
anything about homosexuality. After all, heterosexual men are notorious
for sexual harassment of women, and usually don't pay fot in the way that
"A" did. But in any case, I do not "advocate" homosexuality or
heterosexuality. I advocate harmless fun and romantic love. Anyone lucky
enough to find either, whatever the object of her or his affection, should
counter her or himself lucky to have it returned.
