Men Holding Hands and More

Men holding hands should not be such an alarming sight. The president can do it – you can, too! Seriously. Normally a photo of Bush would be reason for derision on my blog, but in this case I want to emphasize that we are way too homophobic in our culture.

Speaking of this, here’s an interesting article on homosexuality: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=bisexual-species&print=true Excerpt:

Researchers are now revealing, for example, that animals may engage in same-sex
couplings to diffuse social tensions, to better protect their young or to
maintain fecundity when opposite-sex partners are unavailable—or simply because
it is fun. These observations suggest to some that bisexuality is a natural
state among animals, perhaps Homo sapiens included, despite the
sexual-orientation boundaries most people take for granted. “[In humans] the
categories of gay and straight are socially constructed,” Anderson says.

Homo sapiens included. I agree with Anderson. When we check deep into our selves, I think, we will all notice a component of bisexuality...it's nature. The world is made up of opposites, as in positive and negative. We are all one. The deeper we dig the closer and closer we come the complete oneness. As in the dichotomy of Nations. Look at a globe. You'll never see any borders; only Mother Earth...yeah!
