On a related note, it's ironic to me how some groups claim that they want to "Save Marriage" when what they actually mean is that they want to prevent marriage; ie., prevent certain people from marrying.

The equal employment opportunity notice that my work sent out this year (they email it to all employees about once a year) includes gender identity in the list of things that the company claims it will not discriminate based on. This is a good thing. It was about 4 years ago that sexual orientation was added to the list.

skipped lj for 2 days due to lack of time, now I'm a few pages behind... and still lacking time.

sort of figured out a mysterious performance problem at work... at least the what, if not the why. who would have expected that reading or writing a 5kb BLOB to the database would take ten times as long as either a 3kb or a 30kb BLOB? seems to be a weird SQL Server bug.

seeing men be tender with each other... being gentle and intimate with each other... makes me melt inside. why don't i have the same reaction when females are involved? why?

i don't have much, if any, desire to go to regular bars. but i just
realized that the idea of going to a gay bar sparks my interest.
like, i could do that? yeah, i could do that! but, what would i do
there? i'd feel out of place. like, what would my purpose there be?
what do people go to bars for - to drink alcohol and find people to
have sex with? i don't drink alcohol and am uncomfortable with the
idea of sex. what would i be doing there? i'd just be sitting, watching, thinking, feeling vaguely fine and vaguely uncomfortable,
and like normal, managing to be ignored by everyone else there.
