-
- And me being a Gay white male have never been helped by Hispanics
- taking a stand on my issues, so I shouldn't care about the Hispanic
- cause either, should I?????

-
- Sex in General in the hispanic culture is not seen as natural. It is
- highly controlled by the males and the male dominated Catholic
- Church. My ex. was wonderful in bed, but after orgasim it was
- as though he needed to go to confession!
-

-
- SO SORRY ALLGO (AUSTIN LATINO LESBIAN GAY ORGANIZATION) you and your

-
- Why are these hispanics seperating themselves from the Gay issue. There
- are Hispanic GLBOs out there aren't there? If not I am going straight!!!
