(31,464 posts)This is silly. I'm not going to get into a debate about how gay you have to be to be gay. I used a word, "lifestyle," that I meant in a different context from that in which you are taking it. You've mistaken me for someone else...I've never stated that "all boys want a lap dance." I just didn't say that. I merely pointed out that we know NOTHING about the boys in the picture. You're assuming that some of them might be gay, and therefore shouldn't have a female stripper grinding her stuff in their faces. I'm saying that we don't know if anyone was straight or gay. You're inventing an argument to fit your needs. Sure, one of those guys might have been gay. Oh, heavens! So what? I've been to strip clubs...say "no thanks," and the dancer will move on.
You still entirely missed my point about the word "lifestyle." One can be gay and in a great relationship without living an overtly gay "lifestyle." Such as my friend. I have a couple of gay friends that you'd never assume to be gay. And then there is my friend I mentioned earlier who embraces the gay "lifestyle." Why is that so hard to understand? I'm not disparaging anyone. I surf, but I'm not part of the surfer "lifestyle." It's just a freakin' word!
