More thoughts while watching Sponge Bob....
It’s a legal holiday. I’m entitled to sit in my jammies watching Sponge Bob.
I checked Dr. Dictionary's word for the day - contradistinction \kon-truh-dis-TINK-shuhn\, noun:
Distinction by contrast; as, "sculpture in contradistinction
to painting."
That made me think of my sister. And how contradistinction would be a good word to describe us. I often say that we are so alike and so different that we are like two sides of one wacky coin.
But.......here is where we meet. Though we have very different views on sexuality, morality etc. we have reached a mutual agreement that there are just too many ‘sexuals’ in the world. That is, people who define themselves by their sexuality and drag it vociferously into every area of their influence. So my sister, who knows more (or does she just think she does?) gay, bi-, lesbian folks than I do and is supposedly sympathetic to their ‘lifestyle,’ is just as sick of hearing about it as I am. We’re all ‘sexuals.’ But at what point did it become necessary to announce it in every situation?

My point? Some things are better left unsaid in polite company. And if you think Bob and Patrick are gay, keep it to yourself. If that is your ‘take’ on the sweet, animated world of Bikini Bottom, enjoy it and leave us out of it.
