- I'm also not homophobic; I read this over so see what I said, and I
- realized that "flamer" might not be a compliment - I'm not sure. An
- ex-boyfriend, who is gay (kinda bi, mostly gay), would refer to
- himself as a "flamer", and he said those in his subculture would also
- identify themselves that way. I'm just not entirely certain of the
- implications of me saying that. I'm sure I could get away with
- "studmuffin", but it doesn't really fit the sentence. And I'm not a
- "ready-studmuffin". And it doesn't just apply to gay men so I don't
- really know what I'm talking about. And it doesn't really matter.
