pleading insanity? I bet the gay community will love this.

[scottobear]

Anne Heche, who married a cameraman over the weekend, is now explaining that she has suffered from multiple personalities throughout her life and was insane during her three-year relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. On her current mental state, she insists: "I'm all here." {She was later seen introducing herself as Morton and trying to bite into a piece of wedding cake with her ear.}

Seriously, I wish her the best of luck, and health.

I don't know ... I do have great sympathy for people who feel the need to "come out" in a big way, or who tie every part of their life to their "gayness" ... I mean, I went through that, sometimes it's needed for self-acceptance, and really ... though I couldn't care less what gender someone prefers, at the same time, because I don't care, I also don't care if they need to tell me about it either.

I just don't like the in-community discrimination.

That can't be healthy, to base one's identity around a gender preference. Like I was saying before "Straight & Great/Here & Queer" to me seems sort of weird to me... "I LIKE BROWN SHOES!"

I guess I just don't understand the need to tell other folks a preference for anything, unless asked, or observed enjoying it (Dating same/opposite sex in public, or whatever)

Mrm, I think it is, but, only when it's a step along a path rather than an end point. Like people who go gung-ho into any change, really ... a spiritual interest, vegetarianism/veganism, educational pursuits, whatever. Realizations and direction-altering changes can be a huge thing ... it just takes a little time to settle into it and become comfortable with it just being one aspect rather than a whole.

yup... I hear you there the most recent converts are usually the strongest proclaimers of whatever path they're embracing.

That makes a lot of sense.. I can see that side of it.
