I just thought I would tack this question on the end of this link because its not really important enough to deserve its own thread and it has to do with homosexual sex in a round about kind of way. Has anyone read homosexuality in perspective by Masters and Johnson? I really want to understand it but I’m too lazy to actually read it since it reads like a medical journal, and there is a very good reason I quit med school.

Even though I havn’t read it I would feel safe in recomending this book because I have read the ‘dumbed down’ versions of their previous work on human sexual responce and human sexual inadequacy. So if you can get past the language barrier it’s very facinating… Sorry I’ll stop ranting about books now 😳

been there done that… yadda yadda…

so in the end – why do you think it’s so important for us older poofs and dikes to maintain the rage comrade… so our younger sisters and brothers don’t have to go through the same stunted emotional and sexual development many of us older ones are still dealing with in our – 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s

for God’s sake – it’s emotionally difficult enough dealing with our hormones at 16, etc and the rest of it… without the extra worry of having our heads kicked-in, if we dare venture outside into the street holding hands

no wonder so many glbt’s drop out of school and never make any tertiary or vocational success of their lifes like our hetro brethen take for granted

never mind the guilt comrade – feel the rage and help bring on the R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N, today!

I thought it was rather self-explanatory… myself

most queers I know lead quiet lives and just move in circles that don’t effect ’em

consequently they are largely invisible in the professions, jurisprudence and the church

the rest of the world is ‘actin-up’

I’m just puttin it out there for a re-action

elsewhere I’ve started a thread, lamenting the lack of queers making a presence in the salvos and baptists for an example….

I’m just suggesting in 2008 – I reckon now’s as good as any other time to start makin demands!!!

and if this is still too vague for you… specifically let me say that considering this is a queer aussie forum for recognition and improvement of glbt’s within the penticostal world – not one reference or organising of any movement out there in the real world for such outcomes has occurred as a result of this ‘freedom to be’ forum – namely, sit-ins, forming a church for queers and insisting on AOG recognition or even a group of AOG’s queers speaking out for better recognition – or even if we could get a few queers to own up to their sexuality in Hillsong so the whole world could watch the politically correct seeker friendly mask fall off!!!! and then we could bathe in the warm glow of the media frenzie that would eventuate.

heck wouldn’t it be great if only this were to occur – that a thread were to start here and be solely dedicated to acting up and supporting those individuals who’d choose to do so, namely:

current penticostal church members

who now choose to be recognised as firstly glbt members and secondly to demand not just their recognition from their respective denominations but for their affirmation as glbt christians…. by way of that denominations – mission statement, employment practices, liturgies and social actions

sure that’s fine – you can do your thing…. but allow others to do theirs

by-the-way… I’ve never understood the concept of a conservative queer – to me it’s an incompatible juxta-position.

next, you’ll be tellin me that you’re a Republican voter!!! (or even worst a liberal voter)

yep…..i’ve looked at different ways of bringing change and getting the message across…..some people do better at some methods….I’m pretty happy with the way i do things.

Many Christians already perceive queers as angry tormented militant souls….some forms of activism only reinforce that. others break down the preconceived ideas and build bridges…..we all much choose which is the right path for us.
