    I think it was Dantziger who did a pretty great cartoon about this. There were three caskets covered with the american flag and the caption said “Which one is gay?”

    In ancient Greece if you like women, but not men, well it ment you were weak (women were considered inferior), men still had sex with them, but if you a “real” man then you preferred men.

    This was true through out history, and for most cultures.

    Not that any of this matters to the Far Right, they hate what they hate, and they have no doubt that the God they believe in hates the same things they hate.

    Maybe the military will issue them rainbow badges of bravery.

    “It is often said that homosexuals make up about 10% of any population”

    The numbers are the same here and in Europe. Around 2-3% of the population are gay or lesbian. That number has been consistent for years.

    The extreme lunatic Limbaugh “retard!” right wants to pretend they don’t exist. The Right has always been about holding onto fantasies and fables, back to when they insisted that the Earth was flat and the sun, planets and stars revolved around THEM.

    “Orthogonal”

    A word in the news. In an argument before the Supreme Court a lawyer used it and it stopped the proceedings. The Justices asked what it meant. A whole article about it in Volokh.

    Britt also denotes another accuracy, tombstones in military cemeteries MAY carry a cross or star of David, or now Wiccan symbol, if desired by the “occupant” but are rectangles, not crosses.

    The 10% number came from the Kinsey report from prisons. The 2-3% is now generally recognized.

    If you freeze to death are you dying by degrees?– but I digress.

    No, I think it’s a Latin root (related to the verb “gradior, gradi, gressus sum”), so the plural is “degrassi”, as in “Degrassi Street” (though here it’s the genitive, “The Street of Degress”, which is spelled the same as the nominative plural).

    ^Well, fennec, after squids and the parcel post I think you deserve some Latin. Old Latin teachers never die, they just decline. And young Latin teachers conjugate.

    Here’s Catullus 58:

    Caeli, Lesbia nostra, Lesbia illa, illa Lesbia, quam Catullus unam plus quam se atque suos amavit omnes, nunc in quadriviis et angiportis glubit magnanimi Remi nepotes.

    If this were in English…. But hey, it’s Latin, so it must be okay. The key is that “glubit” comes from a verb meaning “to peel the bark off a branch or a twig”. Here it’s being used metaphorically:

    Caelius, our Lesbia, that Lesbia, That Lesbia, whom alone Catullus has loved more than himself and all his own family, now in the crossroads and alleys she [glubit] the descendants of proud Remus.

    rebel, I know a lot of gay men who could kick your @ss. You’re just hanging out at the wrong bars, dude…heck, I know some gay women who could kick your @ss. Besides, since when does “feminist” equal “weak?” Fighting for the equal rights of half the population isn’t weak. It’s right.

    Why don’t conservatives want gays in the military? They like other people dying for the wars they support

    Saying “they are completely equal, BUT….” isn’t equality.

    I’m going to try the line with the wife, she learnt Latin. I’ll report back
