Oh, I know just what you mean. I must say, I find all that stuff fascinating as well. And I do think with Richard Simmons that it's something of a cult situation ("cult" in terms of "camp" as well as worship). While in the States I saw a lot of Discovery Health Channel ( ) and this one show about the "super obese..." at one point Simmons shows up, and would have about started a riot except that those folks couldn't move around too fast...

The guy on the left is doing what Robin Williams used to do on the 70's show "Mork and Mindy". He used to hold his fingers in a similar manner and say, "I'm Mork from Ork. Nan noo nan noo!" That picture made me think of it just now.

Prince's bra looks stuffed in that picture. Something about his "rack" just does not look normal.

Try being a faggot for one day and come back and tell us how it was for you.

The Starship Enterprise flies through the Xenon Galaxy. Sulu has called his friends and crewmates Scotty, Bones, Spock, and Kirk together to one of the internal chambers to discuss something “very important”.

“My friends,” Sulu begins. “I need to talk to you about something that I have been hiding from you. A very important part of my life I have not shared with you. A journey I have taken alone, without my faithful compatriots who are like brothers and…”

“I don’t have time for this,” Scotty says testily, in his usual Scottish brogue. “I know, I know…you’re gay. I’ve been signing for your damn Advocate magazines for years. Do you have anything else because I have a ship to run?”

Scotty leaves testily and the rest of the crew looks shocked. Unlike Scotty, who signed for the mail every day when the intergalactic postman came by, no one else had known or suspected that their friend, their comrade, was homosexual.

“I too am gay,” said Spock. “I am quite happy. I mean I would be if I could show emotions.”

“That’s not what he meant, you Vulcan idiot,” said Bones angrily. “It means that our friend Sulu here likes men.”

“I too like men,”said Spock. “I enjoy the company of males as I find their company stimulating. In a non-emotional way of course.

“No, you pointy eared bozo,” said Bones. “He really likes men. In the bedroom. You know, sleeping together. Doing the hippity dippity.”

Spock looks confused. Bones grabs a piece of paper and a pen and draws some images on the page. Spock looks confused and then gradually he understands. He raises his eyebrow.

“I am not so much into that,” Spock said. “But on Vulcan, we believe in logic when it comes to love. If you find it logical to love other men than I say you should go with what applies to your own logic. Logically speaking,” Spock says, leaving to do something logical.

“Sulu, man, I don’t know how to take this,” Bones says angrily. “Damn it, man, I’m a doctor not a cultural anthropologist. Damn it, it’s bad enough we have a Communist bastard like Checkov on board. And now a gay guy! What the hell is wrong with this crew?”

“Bones, I…” Sulu begins.

“Oh screw it, I’m a doctor not a Republican. Be gay, don’t be gay, I don’t care. Just don’t check me out in the shower alright.”
Bones leaves angrily and Sulu looks at Kirk who has remained quiet.

“Captain, I…” Sulu begins.

Captain Kirk smiles and, after adjusting his toupee, he raises his hands.

“Sulu...stop…right…there. You…are…my…friend. I…just…want…you…to…be happy.”

“Captain, even though all of this comes off as something written by a clumsy heterosexual bored on a Friday night, I thank you for being my friend.”

The two hug as the triumphant “Star Trek” theme plays.

I don't care one way or the other. He's still a great guy, a great actor, and a role model to many. Here's to you, George!

Anxiety said:

here's for the third post in a row!

I've been thinking about the racial aspect of this since I found out yesterday. Cause, you know, it's my thing. How many straight Asians are in Hollywood? And how many out and about gay ones? How does this all tie into how the media and society portray Asian men (as weak, effeminate pussies )? Food for thought.

Anxiety said:

Can't say anything about the rest of the sub-cultures in fandoms, but as a die-hard slash fan, (but not a slash writer) I'll give my thoughts on that:

The slash community, regardless of fandom, is one of the few places where it's acceptable for women (the majority of slashers) to express an interest in watching or reading stories about 2 or more guys romantically or sexually involved with each other.

North American society considers it normal -even expects straight men to find 2 women arousing, but most people will still give a woman this face if she openly expresses a desire to watch 2 men get busy.

Why this double standard exists, I don't know. Maybe it's because so many bought into the idea that women can only enjoy love stories or sex scenes if there's someone they can identify with (i.e. a woman) involved. Or an even more outdated idea, that women simply aren't as interested in sex as men are.

Better yet, try it for a lifetime.

Here's to you, Mr. Sulu. I'm happy you were finally able to be honest with yoursel and others. Better late than never.
