possible gay int?

So if you have ever used eBay to search for a tee shirt or any other clothing I’m sure you have come across the phrase ‘possible gay int?‘. I’m slightly confused. Do they think this item of clothing will be more fashionable to the rest of the world because gay people are allegedly more fashion conscious? Do they think that gay people need the added label to let them know it will be fine to wear it down the pub on a friday and no one will mistake them for straight?

You see I was looking for some new adidas trainers for an upcoming run. I thought I should probably get some new shorts too when I came across some with the headline ‘Adidas White 3 stripe shorts (med) poss gay int?’ I couldn’t help but think what the gay interest may be. Anyway Needless to say I didn’t bid. I’d rather buy just regular Adidas White 3 stripe shorts.

What’s with the question mark too? Are they not sure if it is of interest to gays? Is there no one they could ask? I’m going to set up a helpline/email for ebay sellers who are unsure. They could just ring or email to confirm if it is ‘gay int’ and then they can dispense with thte possible and question mark!

Did I mention I’d started to play with flickr.com which looks set to be the new toy of the year. It’s loads of fun and as you can tag all of your photo’s you can link them up with other people in groups and all in all is easy to use. I’ve been meaning to get a new gallery installed but haven’t had the time so tis looks like it might be the way forward.

Hate Crime/Hate Law

On Nov. 2, Ohio will vote on Issue 1, a state constitutional amendment that purports to simply ban same-sex marriage but actually goes much further. It essentially removes rights that one would think are human. If you thought Section 28 in the UK was bad then you should read all about the new laws sweeping the states. In Ohio it will mean that possibly legal rights of co-parents will be removed or nullified.
It smacks of bigotory and makes a mockery of a country that claims to stand for freedom.
Is it any wonder then that some savvy Australians have decided they have had enough of bigotory and hatred and decided to set up their own country?
Maybe the Americans should follow suit. Utah has long been the reserve of the Mormons. Maybe all gay people in the US should move to one state. Reform all the hateful laws and live in peace.
Oh but wait. President (and lets hope not for long) Bush will probably prevent local laws from allowing such abhorrent behaviour. Imagine living with someone you love and sharing the same legal rights as the moral majority.
