EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I FANTASIZE...
And the brides wore combats (James Clench, The Sun, 2/02/06)
TWO lesbian soldiers have become the first Army gays to get wed, The Sun can reveal....About what one news story I would send back in time, if I could. Posted by David Cohen at February 2, 2006 10:03 AMPrivates Sonya Gould, 19, and Vanessa Haydock, 18, tied the knot under new civil laws....
Sonya said: “Vanessa had been at Pirbright for six weeks and was already seeing another woman soldier when I arrived.
“We noticed each other straight away and her relationship quickly broke up. I wasn’t sure about my sexuality. But lesbianism is openly accepted in the Army and there’s a lot about. We realised we liked each other and got together.” ...
The pair’s love has been accepted by top brass since they exchanged vows. The MoD said: “We’re pleased personnel registered in a same sex relationship now have equal rights to married couples.”
put them on the front line and let darwin sort them out.

Posted by: Bartman at February 2, 2006 11:07 AMJD: Notice how social acceptance helped move along a seventeen year old unsure about her sexuality.
Posted by: David Cohen at February 2, 2006 1:47 PMGood point. I just thought the use of "strait away" was amusing, given the context.
Posted by: jdkelly at February 2, 2006 3:26 PMOn a related topic, JPod over at The Corner directed me to this story about my high school alma matta. Given the high geek factor percentage at the school, I'm surprised the writer was able to find this group, but NYC high school kids do tend to be media savy and can say what the reporters want to hear.

I've heard rumors that the Stuyvesant High building is over 20 stories tall -- any truth to that? That seems amazing to me, but then again I'm far removed from NYC and my senior class in high school contained 34 students.
Posted by: Matt Murphy at February 3, 2006 2:54 AMDavid: That's what it's all about, you know. Homosexuals rarely, if ever breed: they recruit.
This is why mere tolerance and respect for "privacy" won't do. Their program is for approval, so as to facilitate their preying on the young and confused.

Isn't that the Jesuits? Or is it the Freemasons?
Are the queers preying on the young in your neighbourhood?
Mind you, maybe any 'straight' man who objects to lesbian love is susceptible to 'recruitment'.

IIRC, the new building north of the WTC site is 10 stories tall, and cost a mere $125 million to build about 15 years ago (I've never been inside the new building, having spent my time in the 1904 model at First Ave. ad 15th St. that was a mere five floor high (and no kids, you don't get to use the elevator).

An apocryphal past-time back at the old Stuy was selling passes to the sixth floor pool (there was neither a pool nor a 6th floor) to unsuspecting incoming students.
Posted by: Jim in Chicago at February 3, 2006 12:01 PMBrit: I have no objection to lesbians at all, except that I don't want my daughter to marry one.

Back in time? You mean, like, all the way back to 1994?
Somebody tell Spielberg.
