Let's talk about bearding

Anyone on here not seen these photos of Kate and Orlando posing on the beach? Now, is it me, or does this seem contrived to other people? I mean if you're going to walk the dogs in your bathing suit and wave to the gathered press, well aren't you also making your butt squeezing point a little too overt?

Then again, I'm of the opinion that Kate (or any woman) would be bearding for Orlando. That 'boy' just twangs my gaydar. Do I think he's with Viggo? Was with Viggo? Ah, now that's the question isn't it?

I have come to the conclusion that cyber-space is home to those of us who are more liberal and tolerant in our viewpoints - about love and same sex relatioships and religion etc.

In a different context (over on my LJ) I wrote:

Various articles from last week's Guardian stick in my mind. The first is about gay kids/teens getting bullied at school (http://users.guardian.co.uk/Guardian/weekend/story/0,3605,1580798,00.html). Interesting article both disturbing and mind boggling for me. Reading (and having read) as much slash as I do, some of it in the HP fandom written, or at least predominately read by teenagers, I can't get my head around the gap in permissive open minded attitudes in cyber life and the narrow-minded bigotry in real life. i.e. If Harry and Draco starring as romeo & romeo is your fic-crack of choice, how can you pick on teenagers who may be gay? Or even teenagers who are slight in build, or shy, or don't know what their orientation is?

And then went on to discuss other things BUT I think that the majority of the world is more narrow minded than I would expect. Couple that with the current climate in America and it's enough to closet anyone. Let alone someone whose under contract with the mouse.

"I think that the majority of the world is more narrow minded than I would expect. Couple that with the current climate in America and it's enough to closet anyone."

I agree with this part too, I on the other hand am extremely proud of my country (Australia) for it's liberal and open minded views about so many things.
Homosexuality here is beginning to be celebrated as a alternate life style and you see same sex couples on the street behave like any other couple and not get harassed as much as they do in any other country. And for that I am very proud of my country the way we have learned to live and let live.

Amen to that!

Love is such a rare miracle, it seems mad to see it vilified or categorised and found wanting.
