Hmm!! ..you're making a big issue of it. Skybird just said that it's not a big issue to him.. maybe you missed that, being a bit over-sensitive!

As do most males on the planet. But, looking at the obvious, you can't be a lesbian unless you're female.
You're not considering reconstructive surgery so you can go full tilt are you?

I agree with vanjast: I think you're being a bit tough on Skybird, Tchocky... he was only trying to say it shouldn't be an issue, even though (sadly) it is with a lot of people. Your statement, re-quoted by Steve above, does sum things up perfectly



When I was younger I had a lot of gay friends, but we were in a music-orientated environment where it was not an issue: they were always able to be relaxed about it with no-one getting on their case, plus they knew any joking about it was not meant to be hurtful...

Watch out for Jeff: in "What Are You Doing Now" yesterday, he was asking nikimcbee if he could get him a dildode... only he spelled it differently...

Hey, Jeff, HEY JEFF! What is a light-emitting dildode anyway?

For balance, I think it's important to point out that regardless of the spin being put on the story, Cook's homosexuality was never secret and was widely known in Apple for many years, just not publicized. By publicizing it he's certainly making a political statement, but I don't think it's necessarily about Apple's image rather than throwing his weight behind gay rights concerns. There's plenty of places in the world where that support might mean something.

Something to note and think about: If it wasn't for a gay man, Alan Turing, we all might not be able to post our comments or even enjoy the lifestyles we do right now. And, if it wasn't for anti-gay phobia, Turing might have lived a longer life and we might have been further beneficiaries of his intelligence...

That's just wrong on so many levels!!

It's DIODE not dildode, and I don't want anything emitting!
A DIODE can act as a one way gate.
(And I await your responce about those with baited breath and a few beers in me! )
