[Zinkovich]

Quote by: dilligras BTW, Mr. Zinkovich, I would be greatly idebted to you if you would allow me to consider you another of my gay friends, as some here are apparently under the impression that such a phenomenon is to be viewed as unverifiable, and thus improbable.

I don't know you personally. Sorry, maybe you can call me a "homosexual internet acquaintance", instead, if you wish to use me as an example.

No offense. I'm just rather specific in my usage of the word "friend" because I fear devaluing the concept of friendship.

I find such skepticism simultateously understandable and ironic, given that, as I type, my cross-dressing Dr. of Optometry next door neighbor plays Christmas carols on his baby grand piano. The mood is quite festive around this small apartment today. Merry Christmas, to all.

One thing about people is that they like to feel incredible. Given this, it is unsurprising that the existence of some persons may be hard to believe to those of us who do not know them(Hell, some pirates were thought of as myths until certian historical discoveries were made- for example, did you know blackbeard used ot light these cannon-fuse type things on the side of his beard to generate smoke around his person during battle? Madness!).

That said, you cannot expect others to necessarily trust your anecdotal experiences as indications of broader attitudes(much less trust it for tis degree of truth or falsity at all). Now then, I think your experience can perhaps be taken as indicicative of a minor attitude amongst your immediate group that has the potential to become a major one, but not necessarily as a majority. The state of majorities lies within the intellectual realm of sociological study rather than personal experience, hence my earlier studies/reports.
