I noticed that, too. However I so strongly agree with the main premise of the essay that sexual orientation is but one aspect of a person's personality, that even considering the parts I take issue with, my overall impression is one of agreement. The analogy I've used with myself is that personality has many hundreds of different dimensions, and the gay/straight axis is but one of them. I find our society's obsession with classifying people along it oppressive. --Previous Message--
