Letters to the Editor	Letters Archive

Broaden your taste!

I have spoken to quite a few of my friends whom have been in a relationship for five years or more. Almost all couples who I spoke with say that they never expected to be with the person that they are with now. All had the dreamy expectations that their partner would be of one body type, or hold a certain job, be of a precise character, and so forth.

I wonder if we can make the effort to go after someone who may not be our type? Start a conversation with someone we might have dismissed as a "non-prospect"? Can we drop our preconceived notions? Can we re-think what we are attracted to?

It's high time that we dump our baggage and take more time being compassionate with our fellow gay men. In other words don't be mean to the guy who says "hello"... but is not your "type." Hang up the tiara, girl!

Bronski Fan

I enjoyed reading Michael Bronski's review of the movie Latter Days ["Best Gay Films Just in the Past?," available at www.guidemag.com]. Movie reviews are problematic for me, because they're often not about the movie but about how clever the reviewer thinks he or she is. In this case, though, Michael Bronski focused on the film itself, argued his point well, and made me want to see this delightful-sounding piece.

Offended by Lester R. Grubé

Lester Grubé, I have read your October 2002 column "Halloween Masks" [available at www.guidemag.com] and just want to say that our sexuality is not abnormal, and nor are you funny.

How dare you be anti-gay?! Your articles spew forth your homophobia loud and clear. How the hell did you get on as a writer at The Guide? Sure, I agree with many of your sensible advice on manners, but you seem to have a pathological desire to please those other "normal" people, the "straights." Puhlease. Get off your tight Queen ass and stop licking straight butt. Straights flaunt their sexuality everyday, everywhere, so don't give me this fucking crap about militant gays being offensive.

You're not funny, but offensive and hurtful. You must be from the previous generation, loaded with all that anti-gay crap from religion and psychiatry. Repulsive. Keep your anti-gay crap to yourself.

Here at The Guide we've recieved feedback that our articles, editorials, and commentaries are predictably pro-sex, pro-gay, anti-fascist, and radically liberationist. Such a perspective bothers many people, so we added the voice of Lester R. Grubé to provide balance, something more like you'll find in other gay publications.... Check him out exclusively at www.guidemag.com.

Loves los grandes...

I picked up the video Jalapeño Papis [reviewed in June 2004, available at www.guidemag.com] because of Boom Boom. His dick is massive and he knows how to use all 11 inches. Juan is really hot, and Tommie Deluca makes a really great bottom. I watch this video over and over again, because I love Latin twinks with big dicks.

Animal Lover

Is there a list of animal lovers clubs in the Northwest? How my I obtain that list? Or is that sort of thing illegal?

Though Herr Attorney General John Ashcroft has not yet made bestiality a priority (busy as he is trying to legitimize torture of non-Christian humans), such behavior skirts the law in most jurisdictions. Try the search engine Google (using the search terms 'bestiality' or 'zoophilia' along with any geographic limiters you choose) to find discussion groups and guys near you who enjoy heterospecies sex.
