In Europe, it refers to a cigarette. Yes, dyke is just as bad, and yes, gay men get a lot of mean names. But think for a second. Picture &quot;gay&quot;. Generally what comes to mind is a man. Therefore, more male-based...

Why the need to use the same term to join same sex couples? Why is calling these unions "domestic partnerships" offensive if allowing these couples the same legal rights as married couples?<br /><br />Because the term &quot;Domestic Partnership&quot; means something different than &quot;marraige&quot; in the eyes of the law. For example, my parents had a domestic partenership before they decided to get married. Whenever my dad had problems with his diabetes and had to go see the doctor, my...

I wouldn't say 'role model,' but it is nice to see more diversity on television. Some of my bisexual friends from FindBilover.com like her show very much.Also, this show seems less faked and staged than its VH1<br /><br />I appreciatate that she&#039;s comfortable enough with her sexuality to be able to do a show like this and be open with who she is. I wouldn&#039;t necessarily call her a role model, simply because of the type of show that it is, where she&#039;s dating all these people at once. But I respect her...

Congratulations. ---see answer<br /><br />Yes, I knew about this weeks ago, because I&#039;m a member of HRC.

Well, she ended being my first girlfriend, shortly after I came out. That was in March or February of last year.

Plus, my girlfriend is a lesbian, so she says it that way too. It rubs off. and while I agree that we should just do a way with the label, unfortunately, labels are a part of society.

For example, someone could say that a lesbian is &quot;full-blown&quot;, and that would mean that she is blatantly lesbian. Or even not blatantly, but that she is unwavering in her sexual orientation. So a...

I’m straight… but since I found out that she was gay… I’ve started feeling different about her, I've started liking her, what should i do? should i act on it?<br /><br />The same thing happened to me, literally. My best friend is a lesbian and two years ago she told me that she liked me. I thought I was straight. You should explore your feelings, definitely. If you don&#039;t you&#039;ll always wonder about what could have been. One thing I would be careful...

For myself, I would choose a female, simply because I am generally more attracted to women than men.

If it&#039;s just playing around, especially between gays friends or even straight friends to gay friens, then it&#039;s ok. But if it gets really mean, well then I draw the line.

Could anyone please explain it to me? (I will post letter as answer).<br /><br />It appears that this man is sort of preaching. He is taking his life experiences, and the way he has dealt with them, and reaching a conclusion about what he believes is the true religion. It also seems that this man is trying to get other people to believe it too, and in a way that has come to...

I know all same sex couples have one more manly and the other more feminine. So in yours which are you? I dont mean to be offensive just curious<br /><br />In general, my girlfriend and I are rather neural when it comes to who is more masculine and who&#039;s more feminine.

But I would definitely wonder why someone would percieve me as so. Getting offended over what can be such a trivial thing seems stupid. It like when people make the mistake of thinking I&#039;m Christian when they first meet me. It&#039;s a mistake.

I would get to know them a little, maybe, to see if we had any connection.

Well, she should, considering that she&#039;s Wiccan too. Even if she wasn&#039;t I still think that she&#039;d accept it.

While it&#039;s true that since gay couples can&#039;t get married, they are more likely to have sex, but the same amount of people would want to save sex, I assume, if marriage were to be legalised Fri, 04 May 2007 13:32:35 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/825742 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/825730 Wiccans: What kind of music do you prefer during you meditations, or anything at all? Songs, Artists, Genres, anything.<br /><br />Hmm... Most of the time I like silence, but sometimes i listen to slower songs, like Evanescence, or country music.

I wish the military would rethink this decision." Now that the VA has approved the pentacle, should he have to apologise?<br /><br />Despite the fact that Witchcraft isn&#039;t actually a religion (because Wicca is the religion. Witchcraft is a practice, a way of life).... Naw, he shouldn&#039;t have to apologise, because he shouldn&#039;t have said it in the first place. It is not in his place to say anything about his...

Why or why not?<br /><br />Well yeah, I think that kids should be taught that Wicca exists (that would helpful around my home because nobody seems to get it even though there are so many of us) and that it&#039;s an option. But the only way I can see that happening is in a religous studies class or somehting. But if Wicca...

(I am asking because I've been accused of such.)<br /><br />Not me, and not anyone else as far as I can tell. I&#039;ve read through some of you answers and stuff, and I can&#039;t see that you&#039;ve ever tried to do that on here.

It&#039;s also possible for that to change. I know quite a lot of bisexuals, and many of them lean one way more than another all the time, and some of them change which sex they prefer. I&#039;ve done the exact same thing. I joke around with one of my guy friends all the time, calling...

Well, technically, my mother is bi and my dad is straight, but I didn&#039;t know that my mom was bi until I told her I was. So I guess, I thought I was being raised by heterosexual parents, which I believe is the underlying curiosity behind this question.

(Honest question, since I'm tired of people saying it is a lifestyle choice without offering any proof.)<br /><br />As a bisexual, I could have quite honestly kept pretending I was straight and not had any lesbian relationships in my lifetime. Unfortunately, love can and always does get in the way of that. And why would I want to keep it inside of me? Lying to yourself is a really hard thing to do if you do...

Im completely in love with her. what does this mean? is this ok?<br /><br />Darling, I do believe this means that you are quite possibly a bisexual. There&#039;s absolutely no need to worry in any way about this being bad at all. Bisexuality is about being able to love who you want to, and not restricting yourself to one sex. Of course, you&#039;re 16 years old, and...

Of course you find it flattering. A Gay/Lesbian can see the same things in a person that a straight person can. And if they like it, then it&#039;s somebpody who likes YOU. Well, anyway... I found it flattering.

My mother is the most accepting person in the world. She&#039;s accepting of my religion, my friends (who are less than perfect), and my sexuality. To disown one of my own children.... That would be spitting on everything that my mother is and has taught me.

When I used to think I was straight, I had a friend (and still have, mind you)who was a lesbian and I was just as okay with undressing in front of her as I was with all my other friends. I hate guys, and I have yet to undress in front of one.

It really depends on who you feel comfortable with, what&#039;s available to you, etc. ...

I didn&#039;t have to tell my mom, she had already figured it out. In fact, she practically trained me. After my friends, I told my classmates and peers.

It&#039;s one of those things that I think realy depends on the people around you. Most of the people around me, including the majority of my family, are very supportive and me being Wiccan didn&#039;t bother them at all.

Many Wiccans happen to be Witches. Not the flying, cackling evil hags, but nature&#039;s children, people who are dedicated to the art of the Craft and follow under the Rede. Why would you ask if we believe in ourselves?

Do you hand write yours or do you keep a computer-file? Is there anything wrong with having one on a computer?<br /><br />My Book of Shadows is handwritten, and I do believe that it adds more of an essence of yourself to one of the most important documents a Witch can have. Of course, if it&#039;s easier to put on the computer, there&#039;s no rule anywhere that says you can&#039;t. Like Photon said; back up your...

If a person is going after you to destroy your life what does a Wiccan do?<br /><br />Fighting back can backfire on you, so I agree Equidae, use a strong protection spell. By doing that, not only will that person not be able to hurt you, but the three-fold law will catch up to them eventually, and they will have to pay for what they did, or tried to do.

So instead of just rating you all down: Explain Satanism to your parents, have facts ready, tell them AND show them that Satanism isn&#039;t about sacrificing small animals...

Try Scott Cunningham, Kate West, or Raymond Buckland. Most Wiccan books include some kind of basic overview of Wicca.

You witches don't have my permission to put a spell on me..<br /><br />The Wican religion is most definitely not a joke, and nor are any of the other religions you probably don&#039;t &quot;approve&quot; of. They all have standards and a structure. BTW, Wiccans, don&#039;t cast spells, Witches do. See http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/87829 for more on that. And...

Or, none of the above?<br /><br />I myself am primarily a duothesist, but with slight curiousity towards the polytheistic nature. For example, the Goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Maeve all are like different sides, or even personalities, if you will, of the Goddess Character.

There is no way known to man that people can fly on broomsticks. It&#039;s a myth, and a very annoying stereotype. It&#039;s also against the laws of physics.

But if it came to more prominent things where a greater part of my life or someone elses life was at stake, honestly, I&#039;d rather be at peace. I would suppose that deep down, even WAY down, everyone wants peace in some form or another.

I am ashamed that I know what I want to do with my life, but I have absolutely no idea how to get there, and that I&#039;m scared to death because I don&#039;t know what to do.

Yeah, and the written word affects people a lot more than any sword ever could.

It does however, give very accurate information about the religion for people wishing to convert to Hinduism. But for this religion, the best information is learned by attending poojas and talking to elders.
