<BR>Quoting Jeffrey Fisher <jfisher@igc.org>:
<BR>
<BR>> i wonder what it means to "pretend" to be gay. is that flirting with
<BR>> men? is that pretending to be a queen? what?
<BR>
<BR>I think it's just saying you are gay. This is so stupid though, unless you know
<BR>which kinds of gay guys are actually cool, sexy, a good investment, or
<BR>whatever, in a given context.
<BR>So what *is* impressive, is that presumably said gay-acting guys must have made
<BR>some kind of investigation into the kind of gayness that would be a good call
<BR>in a given situation. Now *that* would be a qualitative data set worth reading.
