That was ****ing great. Nice to see a tribute to Lou Reed on Pride
Weekend. He was pretty far to the hetero side of the spectrum, but
identified with the *** subculture, and LGBT liberation. He and David
Bowie had a huge influence upon males like me, and lured straight guys
into acceptance of *** and bisexual equality.

I went to the commitment ceremony in St.Louis today, where same sex
couples took vows in the rotunda of City Hall. It was "a God awful
small affair", an adjunct to the huge festival that had overpriced food,
and music that was indistinguishable from that at any other similar
festival.

It's interesting how so many hetero males embraced the idea of
bisexuality even though they were quite hetero, and hetero and bi
females appreciated the company of *** men as friends, I guess because
they were non-threatening.

Whatever sort of body one has, that is one of the best love songs, ever.
