Male erotica in the LGBT group: Why now? What's changed?

[HillWilliam]

73. Not necessarily, dear

There is such a thing as lesbian and trans artistic depictions. Being a gay male, I haven't looked for them. I have seen many such at LGBT fairs and gatherings. (Okay: lesbian and gay art and photography. I am disappointed to have to report that I wouldn't know trans art if it showed up on my livingroom wall.) It's really not my concern who wants to own or look at what. Just because you haven't seen or purchased any doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I do apologize. My mind thought "human form" but my fingers wrote "male" since we were specifically discussing depictions of male figures. One simply cannot deny that semi-clothed to nude depictions are an integral part of OUR --alllllll our -- culture. That means, if you are a member of the LGBT community, there is art to your taste somewhere from bar posters (of which I have a great collection), to leather contest prints, to photography, and media.

But really, now, you did miss my major point entirely. So long as the threads are marked, what is the problem? We all have the freedom to click on them or not. As I repeated and will repeat again: there are many other threads on which to click. Anyone can click on those instead. If the threads in question are marked AND no explicit parts or actions are visible, I still fail to see what the problem is. It is not our job to struggle not to offend the str8 community. It is our job to be who we are and to quit trying to change to please them.

The last paragraph being a restatement, yes, it does seem that you are lobbying to have them removed entirely. Just come out and say so: Your opinion is as valid as any other person's in this community.
