One other point is that when I use the quote feature,
which is quite ofen, it is very convenient to hi lite
the specific part of the quoted material (which may be VERY LONG)
to which I am responding, so that readers will understand my point more easily.

However, I do care about offending your eyes.

Pink, a derivative of red, has been often used to represent homosexuals.

...I prefer red over pink. Smile

Homosexuality is usually only a small part of a persons total character, as red is only a small part of the color pink.

To label a person by using only a part of their character is usually erroneous.

It is like calling a person nosey or mouthy where their nose or mouth is magnified to represent the whole person.

Yet some still are not aware that the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. A single part of one's character should not label or limit a person overall.

Red may sometimes seem queer when infused with white but red is more than pink.

Red can also be mixed with blue and make purple. When a bit of blue is added to pink you get lavender not purple. Smile

I don't consider your question out of line, but I usually don't identify myself as a homosexual or the person formerly known as a straight.

As I said, sexuality is only a part of a total person and should not be used to label the whole being.

Just as heterosexuality is not nearly as often used “in the same way” to label a person... a person is usually only labeled when they are homosexual.

So because merely one of their behavior patterns is homosexual then they are a homosexual. This label only limits the total person.

Yes I am homosexual but I am not a homosexual.

Besides, labeling most men as, "a heterosexual" is spreading it on a bit thin. Smile

Some men/woman don't mind being labeled as a homosexual. I do mind the label because there are many facets of my personality that are not sexual in nature but simply artistic. There is much of my art that has no trace of homosexuality, nudity or even sex at all. Thus by the same logic would one label my art homosexual art?

Just as Raymond Burr may have had the behavior of homosexuality one would not necessarily label Perry Mason as “homosexual art“.

No; if u make a picture of the night sky
or sing a song of a lake, that is not homosexual art
regardless of whether it is rendered by a homosexual.

It was NOT.
No one whom I knew at the time, nor during that century,
ever suggested that he was a homosexual.

He did not appear to be effeminate.

I question that he was a homosexual, but I can t prove a negative.

If Burr was gay it doesn't have to be seen as a negative. He was an outstanding actor, well loved and admired. His sexual preference should not alter his contribution to the arts.

What I said means that I can t prove that he was NOT a homosexual,
the same way that I cannot prove that the Easter Bunny does not exist,
because it is impossible to prove a negative.

One man's negative is another man's plus.

I was not saying that homosexuality is good, bad or indifferent.

I was saying that it is impossible to prove
that something does not exist
;
in this case: I cannot prove that a dead man
did not have certain emotional sentiments.
