Cameras Aimed at Ending Sex Acts

Ok you have a point as to that definition of homosexuality. However I think as a practical matter its not a good working definition. ALot of its cultural. For instance I read an entertaining entry on a milblog recently from a guy in Iraq. He had a Iraq American as an interpretor. One days the American troops were discussing that there seemed to be alot of weird homo stuff going on in Baghdad with alot of the arab men. Well the Iraq Americans guys response was classic. He stood up earnestly and with much gravity said "There are no Homosexuals in Baghdad" Well this became sort of a funny line for the troops to use in that unit when times were tough. You know the food sucks, its hots, the Arab govt officials are exasperating, and "there is no Homosexuals in Baghdad.
Now this is the point. An interesting discussion happened in the bloggers comment section. A alot of guys said hell yes there is queer stuff going on in Iraq. But to the Iraq and Arab mind to even say such a thing is unthinkable. Its there but not discussed. I have a theory its much like the Roman and Greek soldiers we read about. It happened but it was not viewed as an orientation. In the end the culture demands in a implicit way that they grow up and out of it and be family guys.

We wouldn't be shocked. These people have been going for shock value for years, first toward their families, then the public, when families was no more of a challenge.

Oh and also, if they are doing homosexual sex acts, they are homosexuals. Straights DO NOT perform homosexual sex.

It's again, to heterosexuals, sex is something they do. To homosexuals sex is something they are.

"This is about families taking their children to feed the ducks in the afternoon and being accosted by men doing things that you and I wouldn't even talk about on TV,”

This could all be fixed if they'd just let Cheney go duck hunting there for a while.
