- gosh!
- I didn't realize that I trod upon a sacred cow of some sort. Sorry. :-)
- I just meant to say that *I* had never *consiously* noticed that anything
- was particularly bent to gay-positiveness. I love the mag for its openness
- and candor with all sorts of issues (especially that ridickulous counter/point
- on penises! Oh, and the one on love drugs and potions, too!).
-
- I don't feel like I've been flamed, just soundly beaten over the head with
- what I never noticed. I *just* found my Jan 93 issue, by the way.
- (And you didn't notice the boxer-shorts ad, David? tsk tsk tsk.)
-
- On more praise of _Details_, I absolutely loved the interview with Brad Pitt.
- Especially the part where the author #included an embarrasing moment to
- himself (trying to male-bond and Pitt snuffing it).

- But it has so much MORE diversity than just sexual. I stand corrected
- on the nature of _Details_. didn't mean to trollop on anybody.
-
- BTW - a man wearing a flowery shower cap *does not* a crossdresser make.
