So at least 99.8% of males above the age of 12 masturbate and reasonable estimates are that 3-10% of males above the age of 12 are gay - does not compute. Also, not sure what percentage of males watch porn with other males, but I am pretty sure it is also much greater than the number of gay men.

Of course, logic, research, analysis and deep thought are the antithesis of anecdotal stories and personal prejudice.

This weekend my local NPR station ran an episode of On Being that featured an interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. His comments about South Africa's Truth & Reconciliation Commission are on point. While he speaks from a specific religious point of view, forgiveness, self-awareness and being the best person we can are all non-religious values.

I don't know how long it will be available, but for now the audio is available at http://www.onbeing.org/

Alvin Boyd Kuhn wrote “the original formulators of the divine myths never dreamed there would come a time so degenerate in reflective capacity that the products of their allegorical genius would be mistake for the body of reality itself.” Kuhn also quotes Egyptologist Gerald Massey: “most of our popular beliefs are fossilized symbolism.“

Exactly- we have to be secure enough to recognize and celebrate real diversity.

Sure there are people who will latch on to representations of queer folk that support their personal prejudices. And there are queer people who will latch on to representations of (insert your least-favourite category here) folk and deride them.
