I am willing to drop the subject as Lisi mentioned that it offended her. Jokes are meant to be fun, not offensive. I apologize to you personally, Lisi, for the offence. If anybody else was offended you can flame me now. > If a homosexual makes a pass at me or otherwise speaks in a sexual > manner, I'm not offended, I'm just not interested.

I am married and have two children. That does not stop a particular girl at my university from expressing interest in me, nor a homosexual that I occasionally hang out with. I make it clear that I'm not interested, and that is the end of it. As with Lisi's issue: see mentioned that she doesn't want to see OT threads on that particular subject, I am fine with that. > I think the common misconception that results in this mistaken > offence, is that sexual attraction/desire is dehumanizing.
