#1 Don't forget - these people are defectors from the most important war in the history of this planet* - the war between the sexes.

*And, possibly, the entire universe.

#2 I had a namesake in high school who's now married to another man. I asked him - 'given the high divorce rates with hetero married couples, why would you want to be part of that mess?' I can't remember exactly what he said but it was along the lines of 'we want to be treated like everybody else'.. Me - 'who's the husband and who's the spouse in this situation?' He hasn't talked to me since.

#3 #2 You should have been more diplomatic, maybe 'Who's lead mule on THAT team?' would have done the trick.

PS, Glad you're still numbered amongst the living and Good Luck.

#4 ...or who's the pitcher, who's the catcher? - The Ren & Stimpy Show

For those too young to remember or know, back during the big AIDS epidemic in the 80s, those 'big' mags like Time and Newsweak touted the coming Hetro AIDS Pan-epidemic that was about to be upon us. Never developed. Seems the mass of deplorables didn't actually practice the behaviors other groups did in sharing precious bodily fluids.

#5 Raj,
There's a big difference in status between "tops" and "bottoms" in the gay world. No one wants to admit being a "bottom."

P.S. Back in the 80's San Francisco steam baths were considered the main transmitters of AIDS. A study revealed the average visitor had sex 6 times with 4 different partners. That's a level of promiscuity that's hard to match.

#6 Frozen Al, in the show Shameless that issue came up but both characters were bottoms. I think that stigma might have gone away with a lot of others.
