Yeah, but homosexuals are

semi-

a lot of things . . .

--semi-bright,

--semi-insightful,

--semi-forward thinking,

--semi-healthy,

--semi-addicted to each other. They'd be more addicted to each other for longer periods but it takes too much work and risk and responsible abandonment. Hedging their bets with one foot in someone else's bed or . . . all the time kind of hinders that.

--semi-idiots about health risks,

--semi-stupid about sociological implications of their 'not harm anyone else' choices;

--semi-arrogant, Welllll, some are well over the line of semi-but most are still somewhat sheepish about their chosen activities enough to not quite manage full blown arrogant ALL the time.

--semi-selfish, . . . Welllll, most are probably well into selfish but even a lot of the most selfish can be amazingly thoughtful and charitable when they feel like it.

--semi-balanced, . . . It's hard to be more balanced between work, activism, indoctrinating of the nearest youth and keeping 3-8 . . . buddy butts happy.

--semi-off the wall,

--semi-flakes,

--semi-delluded [wholesale in sexual areas but decent decorators],

--semi-thoughtful [lots with the current flame or conquest--not at all toward society or the 2nd ranking or has been partner(s)],

--semi-committed [great when it's easy or seems to offer them a good deal--little to not at all when it really costs them something persistently],

--semi-sexy [mostly too addicted to lust to be wholesale sexy. Really sexy requires responsibility to afford the true freedom of true abandonment necessary for quality sex available only in a monogomous long term relationship];

--semi-durable--with a life span 10-20 years shorter than their cohorts--they must be getting their visions of growing old together via marriage from something they are sharing smoking.

--semi-dogmatic--they don't have the persistence to be durably dogmatic. When their hormones are raging and their anger at a similar volume, the dogmatism is intense. When they are alone in their self-pity at the ending of yet another short term relationship with perhaps someone too short or more selfish--then their energy all goes to self-pity or figuring out which mode of suicide would be the most dramatic.

--semi-religious [religious enough to feel comforted but not enough to make any real difference in their eternal destiny].

--semi-moral [not enough to give the truly moral any competition but enough to justify in their own eyes a good argument--as long as the morality doesn't really cost them any pleasure, selfishness or grand-standing chits.

--semi-altruistic--again--as long as it doesn't cost them anything very serious very long.

--semi-responsible--well--quasi safe sex if they're not tooooo horney and not in toooo much of a hurry and if they're not trying to 'share the wealth' of the intense thrill that HIV is supposed to be !!!

--semi-caring toward children--as long as the children wholesale meet their needs, fantasies and unmet attachment needs from their own childhood and and as long as the kids serve as great props in legal and other social grandstanding.

--semi-ridiculous--wellllll--some are wholesale over the line of extremely ridiculous but all of them are at least

semi-ridiculous--ever seen a gay parade even in the media? And can you think of a better word than ridiculous when considering Shrillery and Reno or the public french kiss by what's their farces? Maybe semi- is a bit generous on this one but . . . a lot out of the limelight probably qualify as semi-ridiculous in a list of ways and over the line ridiculous in a few.

--semi-bruised, batterd, mystified and clueless in their inner child but sufficiently 'together' to put together SOME sort of pretend whole image.

--semi-tough. I mean--there's bear clubs, chain gangs, firemen, military sorts, policemen, bikers etc. What else can they do when part of the generation for their being is to make up in spades every grasping way they can for the lack of maleness daddy never succeeded in transmitting to them.

--semi-masculine--whether receivers or givers . . . methinks the yearning must be much greater than any masculinity ever demonstrated or received. I think the frantic flitting from fat cheeked 'flower' to 'flower' has to be in part a desperate search for something daddy never managed to deliver. They just haven't figured out any other way to get their best pretense for masculinity applauded, thrilled or at least off.
