Hi Robert-I,

I am a religiously-abstaining BL. I have absolutely no zoo tendencies. Honestly, I find it repulsive. But, I think it's important to at least try and see the other orientations from the perspective of the people with those attractions. That's why I have been reading their materials and playing "devil's advocate" in defense of their position. Well, if not in defense of their position, at least in defense of equal treatment for their orientation along side all other alternative orientations. As hard as it may be to believe, it genuinely seems to me that the people involved in this lifestyle feel they are "following their heart" and loving animals in a way that is morally right and beautiful. [They "seem" like nice people; just like us; not weird freaks.] I don't agree with their views, of course, but I find it difficult to see any fundamental difference in what they believe about their orientation and what gays believe about theirs. Yes, I know there are huge differences (in other ways); but for those involved, they're just trying their best to live in a loving way with their own particular set of attractions. In that sense, I think it's important to consider ALL alternative orientations together, apply the same rules across the board, and allow each to "stand or fall" based on that same set of rules. Make sense?

In theory I should treat you the same either way, but as a Christian I find that you the person are important to me, and I would indeed tack my sails to some extent if I knew your lifetime of fantasies (or perhaps even actions) was involved.

When I read your comment above, and the phrase "tack my sails", at first I though you said "tack my sNails". SNAILS?!?! What's he talking about?!?! :-) I need to get some more sleep.

Blessings,
Rainboy
