The Baptism
"Ssssh."
The woman's lips were almost obscenely plump. Like a ripe purple plum, squeezed and split in two along its cleft, they parted to reveal an almost serpentine tongue. It slithered out, curling at the tip like a whore beckoning a client. read more erotic stories
Voice
"Ssssh."
The voice hissed in Jillian's ear. She couldn't see who made the noise but she felt the hot, moist breath on the back of her neck. Lying face down on a hard but covered surface, she craned her neck around and blinked repeatedly. There was nothing but an all-engulfing blackness. read more erotic stories

The Nonissue

I don't often blog about news here, but I was so damn pleased by a NYT article posted today about a study of gays and lesbians in the British armed forces, I just had to post a link.

In 2000, the European courts ruled that keeping gays out of the British armed forces contravened their human rights. The change in policy was much feared; many predicted all sorts of dire consequences. But it seems they were wrong.

Can't open the link rg. It tells me it doesn't exist.

Hmmm... let me try re-linking

It sure does point out the differences in perception in the United States and elsewhere. I have found that the "land of the free" is generally more intolerent than anywhere else in the so-called Western World.

Hurrah for Britain for facing the issue head on and not flinching.

That's awesome! Perhaps one day the United States will get there.

Remittance Girl,

Two comments about your 'The Nonissue' Post

1. re: The debate in the United States was rekindled in March when Gen.
Peter Pace, who as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the
country's top-ranking military official, told The Chicago Tribune that
he believed that homosexuality was immoral.

In January, Gen. John M. Shalikashvili, who until his retirement in 1997
held the same post in the Clinton years, when the Pentagon adopted its
"don't ask, don't tell" policy, said in an Op-Ed article in The New York
Times that he now believed that the military was ready to accept gay men
and lesbians. A military already stretched thin, he said, "must welcome
the service of any American who is willing and able to do the job."

The New York Times played cleaver (or lied) WRT the Shalikashvili quote.
He was not Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when 'don't ask, don't
tell'
was put in place. General Powell Chairman during the initiation "Don't
Ask Don't Tell."

2. The issues isn't whether or not gays or lesbians can effectiviely
serve in the miltary. By U.S. law, not policy, most of the acts
associated with same sex sex are illegal. Under the Uniform Code of
Military Conduct same sex sex is as follows:

ART. 125. SODOMY

(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal
copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an
animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient
to complete the offense.

(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a
court-martial may direct.

Hello Anonymous,

I have to say that I really don't like this "hit and run" commenting. Is not very helpful and it doesn't inspire dialogue. If you thought I was blogging about the NYT, then I wasn't. I was calling attention to what is happening in the UK.

There are all sorts of laws on the books all over the world that courts simply don't apply anymore.

If Article 125 reads as you've quoted it, it might very well be illegal to finger your wife or gut a chicken with gusto, since the orifice into which penetration - however slight - might occur, is not specified. Nor is the part of the body which does the penetrating.

"Unnatural carnal copulation" is one of those wonderful 19th Century phrases that has no meaning unless someone chooses to give it one.

It says more about its writers than it says about the act. Who were these grown up men who couldn't specify that "NO PUTTING YOUR PENIS INTO ANYONE'S RECTUM"?
(because that would be a clear, uncontravertable law)

As it reads - a court prosecute any man who has anal sex with his wife - WHICH THEY DON'T.

Attitudes and morality aside, it's a weak, badly written law which any reasonable court might simply ignore as being unprosecutable.

As the law reads - it can't by any stretches of the imagination be applied to lesbians, or homosexual bottoms - since from the reading it seems that only the 'penetrator' is deemed to have committed a crime.

Well, I think you knocked the chip on Anon's shoulder quite thoroughly. I enjoyed your rebuttal.

 

Anonymous Alicia Night Orchid said ... (9:08 PM) : 

rg, I'd add a further bit of rebuttal. The issue isn't what the law is, as Anom would falsely lead us to believe, the issue is what the law should be. The US Military Code is archaic in it's approach to homosexuality. The law should be changed to reflect the more modern and realistic policy recently adopted by the Brits.
