Chuck dear,
you are not married to a white-sock wearing, jeans-only wearing software
developer who can actually do logic puzzles and makes fun of tech
writers (unless they cook his dinner and have a PhD). the fab five is a
welcome relief to the mundane-ness of straight-ness. lol! in addition it
is a relief from women doing all the design of their straight husband's
clothes, the furniture for the home and arguably the cool dinners that
we create. perhaps i'm an overachiever, but i'd take a gay sw developer
any day. there is a hysterical MPG that my son showed me called "lady
sitters." it is gay men shopping and cooking with women while their
straight husbands went and watched football <ugh, the only women i know
that like football are my SILs and my step-mom).
i stand to be corrected.
cheers to everyone.
m.

P.S. I saw the "Fab Five" do their Jay Leno makeover; their stereotypical
behavior--and roles--belie our contributions in all areas of society, in all
walks of life, and in all industries.
