I will not bother to rehash everything you said in my own words, because it
is pointless, but I will say, I could not agree with you more. I was
exceedingly disturbed by the discussion we were having. Crossing legs and
having a high voice indicates that someone is gay? I don't think so. It
NEVER occured to me in the reading of that stroy (my least favorite in 9
Stories actually) that he was gay, and being a lesbian, that stuff usually
does jump out at me.
So, thanks for saying what I was going to, but was too lazy to write out :)
