Post #350,605 by beepster 11/14/11 4:57:20 PM Reply	Re: Yup. Inflammatorily Deviant is the wrong word, most definitely. However, in its most basic sense, "normal" is in play. However, mind you, seeing girls kiss, for me, is "normal". Hang out in Europe. Its not a gay thing, or a hetero thing...it just is. Not so much for guys, where its the handshake. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Post #350,620 by drook 11/14/11 5:13:40 PM Reply	"accepted" You want "heterosexual" to be an absolute so that you can say the opposite is "deviant", yet your own chosen definition depends on "accepted". Accepted by whom? -- Drew
