- Awwww... POOR **BABY**! I'm only buried under disillusioning,
- disenfranchising images of nothing but an *exceedingly* narrow
- band of physical type in the gay media, absolutely NONE of which
- I can identify with in the slightest. Forgive the FUCK out of me
- for being pissed off that our supposedly more "enlightened"
- community is as fucking bigoted against Persons of Fur as a lot
- of WASP society is against Persons of Color or QueerFolk.
-
- What the hell does it SAY when it's many times over easier for me
- to find images I can identify with in the STRAIGHT media? _Al_ on
- "Home Improvement"? Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet? Wolf Blitzer
- on CNN, for Gaia's sake!
-
- I realize we're probably not going to do away with the prejudice
- against "overweight" any time soon; but there is no reason
- whatsoever -- bullshit aside -- that the much-vaunted (by others)
- _International Male_ catalogue couldn't have a handsome,
- muscular, 40ish Daddy type with a furry chest and a thick, salt
- and pepper moustache -- or a late 20s Bear Cub with a nice beard and
- a "torso-t" of fur to emphasize his pecs and abs.
-
- And this is just one example.... It goes on *much* further.
