Fangs Pristine

"And what about children?"-- Charlie Rose, grinning and bearing

Charlie's question to the intrepid and often glib Andrew, last time I watched these two successful media personalities engage, can be considered both hostile and inclusive, or either one or the other, hostile along one line of interpretation, that an HIV positive Briton and his partner should be considered viable parents, immune from state concern for the health of children, or inclusive because Charlie himself is Europeanized, often too facile not to leave doubt in the wake of his interrogations.

Why am I unfair to Mr. Sullivan when he tried an empathetic response? He is not Josie Byzek, or Erik, or Jimmi, who has an innate social fear of me now. The unkindness comes from my innate sense that like the homosexuals I knew, Andrew is a hypocrite, and there must be some folly with his sexual practices that infected him with AIDS. Where is the conservation in that? Secondly, condescending pity earns my umbrage, applied equally across the board. Egalitarian treatment for gay monogamy may be a persuasive argument for progressive logic, but it papers over significant triggers. Pedestrian repressions are going to implode in their faces, and there will be the usual questions about how could this happen?
