Aaaahhh. People......

Gay guys get married and have children all the time. I don't mean bisexual
guys. Gay guys get married and have children.

Nevertheless, I have never seen anything in Terrance's posts that would lead
one to suspect any sexual orientation whatsoever. He may be belligerent and
provocative, but his sexuality doesn't seem to be an issue. This does border
on bigotry. I find speculation on his homo or heterosexualty to be in bad
taste, and you know I'm not his biggest fan.

Believe it or not, I think Terrance is owed an apology here. I almost can't
believe I just typed that.

Peace
Joe
