Pink Triangle News No. 24
September 18,1998

Howdy Guys and Gals! This is Ali once more and as always, it is both
an honor and a privilege for FreddieB and I to present to you another
wonderful edition of the PT News!

Here's something for you to think about…There are several great and
unusual screen names among our "family" of PT.  I personally think it
would be of interest to find out how each of you chose those screen
names.  So…throughout the next few issues, there will be a column in
the PT News for those of you that wish to tell us how you created your
screen identity.
I will begin this week to get the ball rolling, by telling you how
FreddieB & I chose our screen names! FreddieB's is quite simple
actually.  He looked at all the other screen names and decided the
best way to describe himself, was to be himself…therefore FreddieB!
(Told ya it was simple!)
I on the other hand sat at my computer the night I logged on, thinking
of who I wanted to portray as my screen name identity.  I had a
picture of my ex lover and I taken at the Aladdin hotel and casino in
Las Vegas sitting on my desk by the computer.  I always loved the
movie "Aladdinn", so I chose to become Aladdinn, but when I tried to
log in, someone already had that screen name.  I was dead set that
Aladdinn was going to be my screen name, so I added a few letters to
the name to create the screen name I presently use…Alladdinn. (With
too many letters, as Mandata always says!) I have found it quite
entertaining, as I have had several that wished to "rub" my lamp and
make 3 wishes, while others wanted to take a "magic carpet ride." LOL
So…that's it. That is how FreddieB and Alladdinn were created.  Now
it's your turn!  I think this can be a lot of FUN for all of us! I
can't wait to hear how some of these screen names came about! Please
send your screen name stories to: [email protected]
Thanks Guys and Gals….

Now…On with this week's edition of The PT News!

Editorial
(FreddieB)

For Your Information…F.Y.I.
This weeks editorial is strictly my opinion and does not have any
effect on my job as your editor.  You will all continue to receive the
PTNEWS each and every week and I will strive to make it as exciting
and enjoyable with each and every issue.
Since Alladdinn and I have taken over the responsibility as editors of
the PTNEWS, each and every week we learn something new and exciting.
There are many new ideas generated, and weekly discussions with the
people that write for the PTNEWS help us communicate better which
allow us to produce a FUN and EXCITING PTNEWS.  This paper was
developed as an open communication between all the people in the Pink
Triangle.  We appreciate everyone's comments with each issue because
this helps us make the PTNEWS what YOU want.  The PTNEWS is almost
(note the word almost) like any other paper.  It has its ups and
downs, ins and outs, and the occasional disagreement with what is
printed.  In the articles that are printed, whether it is mine,
Alladdinn's, or anyone else that should happen to submit, we review
all submissions daily and decide whether or not it pertains to our
readers and is information that would be of interest.  Many of these
decisions are not always right but we make the effort to at least
review each one with an open mind.  As many of you do not know, is the
time it takes to make this all happen.  I have a full time
professional career, which takes about 55-60 hours of my week, leaving
the rest of the week to write, review, assemble, and mail out the
PTNEWS.  The decision to take over the responsibility of editors of
the PTNEWS was a joint decision between Alladdinn and I, and we work
together daily on this task.  
It gives us a chance to be together and work on something we both
enjoy.  Alladdinn spends the majority of his free time working
diligently assembling the PTNEWS and we are proud of the things we
have accomplished.
If by any reason that you do not agree with what we are doing, feel
free to discuss the issues with us privately in the room or via
e-mail.  Under NO circumstances will we be attacked, criticized or
ridiculed publicly for the hard and honest work that we do.  
Whatever is printed in the PTNEWS (and I refer mostly to the Opinion
columns …
i.e…FreddieBeeswax) is information that is already known to our
readers and is openly discussed within the Pink Triangle with whomever
is online at the time.  If the information provided to our readers is
such an inconvenience on your life and upsets you to the point where
you have to lash out, then I strongly suggest that no longer receive
this publication or that you do not so openly discuss your life in the
room. 
Again, this paper is meant to be FUN and ENJOYABLE and INFORMATIVE,
not as a means of exposing one's personal life.  Keep the attitude and
past grudges out of my face and move on.  I am a very funny person and
about the easiest person to get along with, but just like all of you,
I have my opinions too.  You may not agree with them and may think
that this editorial is quite harsh but this is how I feel and is my
BEEF for the week.  Our main goal is to increase the readership of the
PTNEWS, not drive anyone away.  I do not give up easily and work very
hard at what I find to be successful.  The paper will go on as
usual…just had to tell how I felt.  If you would like to comment about
ANYTHING in the PTNEWS (such as this editorial) feel free to do so via
email to [email protected] .All comments are welcome and will be
printed in the next issue.

Be Good and Play Safe,
FreddieB

GayVoice

MAINE BREAKS GROUND AS THE ONLY NEW ENGLAND STATE WHERE SEXUAL 
ORIENTATION DISCRIMINATION IS ILLEGAL, but a referendum that narrowly
passed in February over turned that, giving Maine the rights to
discriminate against Sexual Orientation again.

Hello Pinkies. I got an email from one of the family members. Won't
pass along a name cause it really isn't important on who that person
is but I do want to thank you for sending it to me so that I can get
it out to the rest of the family.
Two towns in Maine (Ogunquit and Orono) are in the spot light. (and
everyone thought gay issues came from California and Hawaii). Seems
Ogunquit members are unhappy and want to put on the ballots for
November a anti-discrimination measure. Ogunquit voters had strongly
rejected the 
statewide rights repeal measure.
Orono town council met on Septmeber 14th to hear public testimony on
instituting civil rights protections for gay and lesbians, and
supporters outnumbered opponets by about 9-1 among the 50 or so
residents who spoke. Orono voters also rejected the statewide rights
repeal initiative by about 3-1. A council vote is expected at the
October 19 meeting on the proposal to prohibit discrimination in
housing, credit applications and public accommodations; but it won't
go to the ballots in November because the towns Community and Economic
Developement Committee rejected it.

Got something happening in your part of the world that either protects
or discriminates against gays. Send me the article and I'll be more
than happy to reprint it and send it out so the rest of the family can
be made aware of it.
How about any of our New York family. Daniel O'Donnel (yes his sister
is Rosie O'Donnel) was running for the senate I believe. You guys
voted yesterday but I haven't seen anything about the results. Daniel
O'Donnel is openly Gay and it would be interesting to know how he did.
Just email 
me the results and I'll pass that along. My address for those who
don't want to scroll up is [email protected].

Still keeping my eyes on Hawaii. I'm still trying to get information
on which states passed the law barring same sex marriages. I believe
there are 24 of them but not sure. Any help from the family would be
appreciated. I'm trying like hell to find issues in Canada but haven't
been able to find any web addresses that are of any use. I have found
the Canadian Human Rights Commission but they are more of a group or
council that acts on discrimination basis, ie: sex, race, and
religious beliefs. Not exactly what I want to know. Any help from our
Canadian Family would also be appreciated. In fact any help from
anyone in any country would be helpful. Just send me any web sites you
know or email me any newspapers (please translate them for me if not
in English since I only know English and please don't tell Prince
Charles that I mentioned English because he has said that us Americans
have totally torn up the English Language). The GayVoice column is
yours and I want to see ALL NEWS no matter what country in this column
so that all of us 
become more educated on these matters.

Until next week or when ever something is happening politically.
Love Ya All

HOW SMART ARE YOU? (Submitted By Denarius)
Read this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED
WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the F's in that sentence.  Count them ONLY once;  do
not go back and count them again.  See below for the answer . . .

ANSWER:
There are six (6) F's in the sentence.  One of average intelligence
finds three (3) of them.  If you spotted four (4), you're above
average.  If you got five (5), you can turn your nose at most anybody.
If you caught six (6), you are a genius.  There is no catch.  Many
people forget the OF's.  The human brain tends to see them as "V's"
instead of "F's".

I'M COMING OUT. I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW, GOT TO LET IT SHOW (Been
there)

Hello Pinkies,
Last week I announced that National Coming Out Day is October 11,1998.
This falls on a Sunday. I know if my partner was still alive, we would
be in Balboa Park (San Diego, California) at the Organ Pavillion
renewing our vows for the 16th year but he died 2 years ago and I no
longer live in San Diego but the event will still go on there as it
does every year this date so that we may tell our partners and friends
that we do love each other. That we are committed to each other 
and we don't care if the world knows about it.
Coming Out lifted a very heavy weight off my shoulders. I had to admit
to myself who I was and that I was o.k. Unfortunetly, when I came out,
there wasn't any organizations you could turn to for help. There
wasn't the internet to roam through and find information about it. 
There wasn't any role models for me to look up to. There wasn't even
any known bars to go to. There just wasn't anything there for me. I've
had feelings to be with a man all my adult life. Should say all my
life I 
can remember. I went to church for help because I felt that is where
to go. (BIG MISTAKE). I was Catholic at that time and during
confession, I felt I had to tell everything I felt. Needless to say,
that didn't go over well. I ended up leaving the church. I started
dating women in High School but never did the nasty because I just
couldn't picture myself doing it with a woman. I dropped out of sports
because it was getting too difficult to control my urges when we all
were in the showers. After High School, I figured if I joined the
Army, that the discipline would control my urges. It did for awhile
but for only a little while. I started finding places to go to to
fantasize without being caught. I did 2am showers so that no one would
see me get a hard on when I see them. I was soon transferred to Fort
Bragg, North Carolina and I was happy. 
Finally a place where I would have freedom. Well there wasn't any
freedom. Didn't meet anyone there who had the same feeling I had.
Under pressure (peer) I met my 1st wife and did the nasty. Wow. The
sensation of that 1st orgasim. Thought I was in heaven. Ended up
marrying her after she told me she was pregnant. No one told me if I
did that, that that could happen. So I put my desires to be with a man
on the back burner. After all. I had another resposibility to think
of. 8 months later my daughter was born. Well 10 months after she was
born, my son came into the world. Still haven't figured how that
happened. Anyway, I started to bowl and joined a league on the base. I
met a married man who one night after bowling seduced me. Hell I guess
I was putting out the signals to him cause I did not resist. WOW. The
1st orgasim with a man was something I just can't get into words. I
mean it was everything I thought it would be plus more. I had to have
more. So every Wednesday, after bowling, we made out. Our wives found
out about it of course and divorces were on the way. Sneaky women.
Anyway, my time was up in the Army and I left. 
Went back to Virginia Beach, Virginia and got a job in the stock room
at K-Mart of all places. Thought I'd try women again and married again
but soon divorced. The feeling just wasn't there. The sex was not the
same. The thrill was gone. Off to the Navy I went. All this time I was
going in and out of my closet door. Wanting to be with men  but
denying that I was a faggot. A fairy. A limp wrister. A swisher. Well
in the Navy I met my 1st lover, Allen. I won't go into details with
him cause I already did in my bio. It's somewhere in PTNEWS. Probably
the 2nd or 3rd issue but I will say Allen taught me that it was o.k.
to be who I am and sex was wonderful. I was transferred to California
and Allen was going to join me there within the year. Unfortunetly, we
didn't forsee that a drunk driver would take Allen away from me. So I
closed that closet door again. Married a 3rd time and divorced again.
What was I thinking. Actually I was just trying to fit in and I
couldn't fit into their molds. Found a gay bar in Oceanside,
California and I started to have fun again. (All this was pre-AIDS
era). Met a leather slave there (very unusual since Oceanside had only
2 gay bars) and he told me about Los Angeles. Well the next weekend
off, we headed to Los Angeles and I found what I was missing. I felt
comfortable in the leather community. The order, the discipline, and
yes, the humiliation and intimidation. Won't go too far into that
scene. You can read that also in PTNEWS. Forget what issue but
Mamma_Tat was the editor at that time. Did something to test the
Military waters that could jeopardize my Military Career. I reenlisted
but on the reenlistment papers I put down I was a homosexual. (This
was before the don't ask, don't tell policy). 
The Navy still reenlisted me. I transfered to San Diego, California
and tore my closet door off the hinges. Think I broke the frame too.
It didn't matter to me anymore. The Navy knew I was gay and I'm
employed. 
Met my 2nd Lover George and I was in heaven. I went to my mom's house
on her 50th birthday (she lived in Maryland) and the next day, after
all the festivities, I sat down with her and came out to her. Tough
decision but I was tired of the question "When you gonna settle down
and find a 
nice woman to marry?" Mom was shocked but I must admit, she handled it
cool. She asked me to give her time to think about what I said. I gave
her some information on PFLAG and told her to contact them. I left the
next day thinking I lost my mother. The one woman I'd do anything for.
A 
week went by and my step father called me. He said mom told him as a
wife should tell her husband things especially if they bother her and
he said that mom should be contacting me soon. He said that he didn't
care. He asked if I was happy and I replied yes. He told me I was more
than welcomed to return home anytime I wanted too. He also said that
he told mom that she had two choices. Either accept your son 100% and
uncondionally or pretend he is dead. I thanked him and hung up. Mom
called a couple of days later. She said she is confused. She thinks
she pampered me to much, that she protected me too much and asked if I
was happy. (What is it with happy) Told her yes. Well we became best
friends then. We talked for hours and if I died that night. I'd of
been the happiest man on earth. Mom down, step dad down, 2 sisters and
a father to go. Well I told my baby sister next. She is such a blabber
mouth that I figured she'd knock out the other two for me which she
did. She accepted me. She told me she would always love me and asked
if I was happy. (again, the happy thing) My other sister called me to
confirm the rumor. I confirmed it with her. Phone became silent. Then
she said o.k. I can live with that. Are you happy. (I must of been
born into a happy family. Doesn't matter what you do or say, just as
long as you are happy). Dad was a different story. We hadn't talked to
each other for 8 years. We had a bad fall out. Anyway, he called and
said he didn't raise no faggot and as far as he was concerned, he
never had a son. Told him fine and that his two grandchildren from me
never knew he was alive cause I told them he died in Vietnam.
(Terrible to say but I was pissed) He hung up and it wasn't until 2
years ago (14 years after I came out) that he contacted me and wanted
to try to mend our relationship. So we are working at mending that
relationship with the full knowledge that I am gay and his son and he
will get over it.
Sorry for the length of this. I was fortunate to have a (happy
family). Seemed I can be who I want to be as long as I am happy. :-)
Next week, I'll write about more of coming out. (Not me) but groups
you can turn too. Things to think about before you make that decision.

By the way, does anyone have any spare parts to doors made in the
50's. Just want to put the door back on to get rid of this draft. It
gets cold here in Ohio.
Love ya

BOY OH BOY!!! What a response to last weeks gossip already.  The vast
majority of the readers really seemed to enjoy it as much as I seem to
write it.  A few snide remarks but HEY, I expected that to happen.  I
can't please everyone and what you do read is openly discussed in the
room among the many people that visit there.  I have nothing to hide
and if you do then don't discuss it in the public forum of the Pink
Triangle.  This is where I get my information from and when I am in
the room, if you happen to notice a little bumble bee on my av…then
consider yourself STUNG!!!
I will be taking notes when I'm buzzing around and just to put in the
back of your minds…Remember one thing…THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUN!!!
Now for some BUZZ…

Seems like Monday night was declared Ladie's Night…when I was buzzing
around the Pink Triangle, the guys were out numbered by the ladies by
17 to 3.  I guess it was the start of Monday night football and just
us three faggots (LOL) were not butch enough to sit through 3 hours of
men chasing after a ball and men jumping each other's bones and
patting each other on the ass.  Oh my, maybe I should have been
watching t.v. instead.  Overall, the ladies were quite enjoyable and
didn't seem to mind that we were hanging with them.  Am I now
considered a ladie's man?

If anyone seems to know why DrummerBoy and Kelsluv have a grudge
against ReVamp…let me know.  Seems like every time I see these people
together, there are words exchanged and they are not very kind ones
either.  I don't know why there is so much tension but let me tell
you, it was quite visible. 

CONGRATULATIONS to Beth69 on her marriage to BooBoo1 or Boo69 on
September 5, 1998.  We all hope that you two have a long and happy
life together.  Maybe you two could send the PTNEWS a little something
on how you met in VP so we can share the happiness with you.

Speaking of weddings, the ROYAL WEDDING of "King Lesbian" Jansgirl and
the adorable Miss "Blisseful" was held last Friday evening at midnight
in the private room called the "royal wedding".
What an event it was.  The ceremony was officiated by the one and only
Alladdinn.  The "King Lesbian" was walked down the aisle by the
voluptious Mr. Gander and Ms. SeaQuestor gave away the lovely Ms.
Blisseful.  Goose looked absolutely fabulous in his fire engine red
designer gown by Oscar De Larenta but kept falling of his pumps.  I
told him to buy a size smaller but he never listens to me.
Screwdriver18 was the "King Lesbian's" Best Man and was so nervous
that he almost forgot the rings.  Ms.Tawanda was the flower chick, but
she just couldn't get the hang of throwing Virtual Flowers.  The
ceremony given by Alladdinn was very touching and appropriate for the
lovely ladies.  Many people attending were passing the hankies back
and forth when the vows were being exchanged.  Immediately following
was the reception, in another private room, which was so elegantly
decorated by Maxam and Cement as their wedding gift to the lovely
brides.  Gander had to be carried home from getting too shitfaced on
Joan Crawford's (vodka and pepsi) and DrummerBoy threw up after the
6th round of tequila shots.  RuLauro caught the bouquet and his new
love, Romy caught the garter after knocking me over and performing a
Greg Lougannis dive routine.  After the traditional throwing of the
goodies, Rulauro asked Romy to marry him.  So look for another Virtual
wedding in the future.  Love is in the air.

This past week, Jansgirl and Youel have been under the weather.  Hope
you guys feel better.  Take that medicine and GET WELL SOON.

Speaking of Youel…He is getting collared.  For those of you that don't
know what this means, collaring is the outward symbol of the
commitment made by the dominant and submissive and marks him as the
property of another, much the same way a wedding ring does.  Maybe
Youel can elaborate on this subject in the future.  No date has been
set yet, but I will let you know when I hear the news.

Last but not least (I saved the BEST for last), Wednesday night was
the BIGGEST catfight I have seen in a long time.  The royal couple,
Jansgirl and Blisseful, had it out with Worrygirl and Ashlee.  The
claws were out, hair was flying, and I have never in my life heard the
word BITCH used so much in just one night.  The gestures were just
coming out of Worry like torpedos and Jansgirl was firing back hard
and strong.  Ashlee claims she was just making jokes, and LOVE was
definitely not in the air that night.  As of this writing, I don't
know if the girls are speaking yet, but I'm going to tread lightly.  

Remember last week when I told you that someone is coming into the
room stealing av's?  Well, just a warning to you all again…try to stay
away from the personal picture av's until this calms down.  They are
stealing personal picture av's and then altering them with some really
sick stuff.  Seems they have put Jansgirls face with her throat being
slashed and Shymoms face with a bullethole in the forehead.  This is
very sick and must be stopped.  Any information about these people
should be reported immediately to Talk Excite.  I am not for sure what
they can do about it, but I'm sure that if we report things like this
that maybe something can be done.  

Welcome all the newcomers, we are so glad you are part of the
"family".  Please feel free to make any comments about this column and
I am open arms to any gossip you may have since I am not in the room
as much as some of you are. Well Folks, that's all the BUZZ I have for
this week.  Remember when you see the bee on my av…you just might get
STUNG!!!
Be Good and Play Safe,

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals.  The
cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a
trial.  The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get
ten pieces of the same kind of fruit.  So all three men went separate
ways to gather fruit.
The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples."
The king then explained the trial to him.  "You have to shove the
fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be
eaten."
The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in
pain, so he was killed.
The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries.  When the king
explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be
easy.   1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he
burst out in laughter and was killed.
The first guy and the second guy met in heaven.
The first one asked, "Why did you laugh?  You almost got away with
it."  The second one replied, "I couldn't help it.  I saw the third
guy coming with pineapples."

PinkConnections
(Alladdinn)

Well Guys and Gals it's time once again to see who made connections in
the Pink Triangle, and to check in on those continual lovers of the
cyberwaves!  Remember…this is NOT Gossip!  I do have some leads on a
few stories, but I will have to wait to see how everything pans out
before I clue ya'll in on what's happening.  Let's take a look as the
romance blossoms throughout OUR "Family" of the Pink Triangle!
Well…There are no new connections to report this week, so I have
decided to print wedding announcements instead!
Angelina98 and Kumera would like to announce their plans to be married
in Vp on
Saturday 19 September 11am EST.
-GINGER- will be officiating
All are invited...meet in PT room 2

ooo  ooo  ooo  ooo

Look for another virtual wedding in the near future from Romy and
RuLauro.  I'm not sure when the date is yet, but will be sure to print
it so everyone to attend!

I would just like to interject something here.  We all have been
through break ups with past relationships.  This is a very painful
process that we go through.  Believe me, I know all about it!
This has not been brought up to bring up past pain, but please stay
with me and listen to what I have to say for a minute. OK?
Most of you know when I first found PT I had just gotten out of a
"real life" relationship that broke my heart.  I was in a great deal
of pain, but the people in the room took me in and accepted me as part
of the "family".  No one knows how much I needed that friendship at
that time and how much I appreciated everyone's kindness and support.
It is because of that support that I am where I am today.  I don't
know what I would've done without all of my new friends!
When I met FreddieB and we became close, he told me about his
relationship with his ex lover and how they are like best friends now.
That was a little hard for me to comprehend at the time, but after I
moved in with Freddie and talked to his ex on the phone, I realized
that it is possible to remain friends with ex lovers.  FreddieB and
his ex had been together for 13 years! The relationship they have now
is incredible! Even though Freddie's ex has a new lover himself, it is
strange how each of us has accepted the other into our lives, almost
like an extension to a family.  It gave me a lot to think about with
my past relationship, in that although we are no longer a couple,
there is no reason that we can not remain friends. He was a very
important part of my life in the year and a half that we were
together.  He was my first love and will never be forgotten, however
we both have accepted that it just wasn't going to work.
Recently I have tried to rebuild that friendship with my ex.  We have
talked several times on the phone, as well as through email.  We both
want the best for each other, even though we are no longer a couple. I
personally feel we have reached a new level to our relationship. I
spoke with him the other day and was telling him about the paper and
he wants me to send him a copy of the PT News…FreddieB also told his
ex about the paper and also wants a copy. I am not writing this just
because I know they are both going to be reading it, I just simply
wanted to share with the rest of my "Family" in the PT what an
incredible relationship FreddieB and I have with our ex lovers. I also
realize that it is not always possible to have that kind of
relationship with past lovers for some.  The pain of the relationship
ending doesn't go away completely, however with time and the strength
we gather from our friends is what gets us through this painful time.
Hang in there guys, I have always said everything happens for a
reason, we may not know what the reason is at the time, nor do we want
it to be that way, but we never know what lies ahead for us in the
future.
To our ex's (FreddieB and I) who we know will be reading this, we both
just want to say Thanks for being understanding and most of all for
remaining our friends!

If you have a meeting, or a romance blossoming and would like to share
it with the PT Family, please feel free to email me (Ali) at
[email protected] or you can catch me in the room if you
want.  I am always keeping my eye out for new romantic encounters!
Until next week my friends…
Be Good, Play Safe and Be nice to those you chat with in the room, you
never know when you may be talking to your prince or princess!
Love Always,
Chris
(Ali)

JOKER

Hi guys, I hope you all like this as ill never forget this night as
long as I live! After 8 weeks of thinking of how long I've waited to
have anal sex I still cannot figure out that question.... Could have
been the fact that I was married and have two wonderful kids. But I
knew I was at least BI for after 15 yrs of not having sex with another
man I still longed for it, no doubt about that. Then one day I met up
with a high school chum I had had oral sex with all through high
school. We met and gave each other a hand job after about 12 yrs of
not seeing each other. thought he was sure being coy, but dismissed
it. But that's another story, IM getting off the track. Just saying
that up until about that time did I seriously start to really think
about anal. Comes into the picture ...the computer!! WALLA!! That
changed my life around so much!! I found out through chatting with
other guys in the chat rooms that I realized that I wasn't the only
married fag out there! I was astounded  to learn of all different aged
men as to everyone's degree of their sexuality! 
Soon I stuck up friendships with these guys! then cybering ..that's
gotten to be a drag....and then meetings for real!! It was like a
pandoras box had open for me .I hadn't met all that many men for real,
but I do know ill be able to find  a good friend here. 
Well enough of all that, I met a guy who lived near his lover and that
his lover was going to be out of the country and asked if we could
possibly meet in the months to come. I said but of course and during
the next 2 months we met at different times on the net and by email.
Well how were we going to meet? with me being married and all . Well
he came up with a very inexpensive idea, camping!! great campground
right near me, 5 /6 miles away. So I made him reservations for 2
nights and we met. Now I had not seen picture of him  but I had sent
him one through snail mail. IM 45 and camp stud is 31, promised to
show me how good it will feel to have his cock sliding up my ass. Well
the day came and we met at campsite >> I was astounded, my stud camper
was so cool !! smooth chest, wasn't wearing any shirt, and had a smile
that knocked me back , cute eyes light blue, oh I thought , I
swallowed ,tried to control myself . and I did and we proceeded to set
up his camp. Soon we had tent up and I said well babes ready for that
back rub I promised?? He smiled and in side we went, nice air
mattress, I said trying to control my aching cock. on his stomach he
laid! I straddled his legs and proceeded to rub the kinks from his
back, going lower and lower  soon I was fingering his ass crack with
my fingers and he was moaning and trying to spread his legs wider so I
could get further down between his ballsack. At that time I lifted off
his legs and asked him to turn over on his back !! I sat on my knees
next to him as I stared at the bulge in his shorts !! I couldn't
control my self any longer!! I was sucking at his crotch without
opening his zipper!! Soon I had the front of his shorts all wet with
my sucking, his thrusting his hips up to meet my bobbing head, soon I
managed to un snap his shorts and down went the zipper, cool plaid
boxers he was wearing! but I grabbed both shorts and boxers and down
they came!! He flicked them away from his feet and spread his legs as
I let his cock sway from side to side!! All 7.5 inches swaying in
front of my drooling mouth. I was on it in a heartbeat! It was thick
at the base  but thinner at the crown. Soon I had it all deep
throating that yummy cock, slurping noises is all you could hear
coming from my throat as he started to rotate his ass I used this time
to explore his ass I reached around and tickled his hole with my
fingers and he responded well to it so I took his cock out of my mouth
as he moaned, I quickly took my tongue and started to lick at his bung
hole and he loved this, as did I, I never did this before but I knew
he would like, he had no hair around his butt and I went at it ,
poking my tongue in and around his ass, Then I went to work on his
balls again when he grabbed a hold of his cock and started to jerk his
dick. I didn't want him to do that so I went back up and started to
suck him again deep throating him to the point of gagging on his
thrusting!! Soon I felt it swell and he started blasting his cream
down my throat!! Wow it had been a few months since I had tasted a
mans cream and I was so happy!! I kept sucking and swallowing and
licking him  till he went soft and I had him milked dry!! I got up and
wiped my face and went home. I went home and went to sleep as if I
usually do working the 3rd shift. But instead of going to work I had
plans on doing otherwise!! I got up as I normally do and packed a
lunch and went off to work, but instead I had put in for a earned time
off day at work and went camping instead!! When I got there it was
already getting dark and I just slipped into his tent and we got ready
for a night of bliss I could tell!! We both stipped naked and soon
were making out, and could this stud kiss!! he would stick his tongue
out and I would suck on it like it was his cock!! 
So cool I never done it before and I shall utilize this technique in
the future, believe me!! Well soon I was working my way down too his
hunky cock again I couldn't get enough of that thing!! 
of course I didn't want him to come again so I backed off, what I
wanted was his cock up my butt and I sat back and asked him please to
fuck me with that wonderful cock of his .......he smiled and got up
and turned me around and grabbed the bottle of lube ......soon he was
working 2 fingers up my ass as I pushed back and felt both pain and
pleasure, I would feel his finger touch my prostate and I would feel a
pleasant feeling run through my balls  he pulled out and in a flash I
felt the tip of his cock pressing against my hole , like a pop the
head slipped in  and I grunted and he backed off , I felt a sharp pain
and I cried out and he backed all the way out and stoked my back
saying we will take our time and relax , believe you me !! I didn't
think his patience was going to 
wait that long, but it did cause just then, he raised both of my legs
up and bend me forward so he could slip his cock all the way in
....again he gets the head in , and I feel the pain back again , 
He tells me to push back, like as if I have to go (shit). I grunted
and he pushed!! Oh it filled me up so!! and as it hit over my prostate
I just started to melt!! He smiled at me and I reached out to stroke
his arm, which was holding him self from loosing his balance. Slowly
he starts to pump in and out. The expressions on his face were of
mixed pleasure and pain, as he started to build up a steady push and
shove and twist and pull...he was so hot!! I felt so strange!! I had
an orgasm almost from the start, I mean it was no earth shattering
orgasm, but one continues one I came and it wouldn't stop?? Cum kept
coming out of my cock Evan as it went soft, it was as if he 
Opened a tap and let it run!!! He was surprised and he started to slam
into me faster, after he sees what I had done!! The fire in his eyes!!
His face all contorted faster and faster he plowed into me I was
scared at first but my ass was feeling so good I yelled yes do it
don't stop!! and he got so hot grabbing on to my hips and slamming
that hot 7.5 inch poker in and out!! Then all of a sudden he pulls it
out and my ass falls down to the mattress and he jerks his weapon a
few sec's and he starts to shoot his load all over me. It was so
erotic!!! it even landed on my face!!  Dam this guy was good! Well he
wiped every bit of sperm off of me and lay next to me and snuggled,
till he passed out! I took my hand and felt back there, man it was
numb! But I finally had been fucked!! and I was ecstatic!! all I kept
thinking?? why ?? Why did I wait so long?? This started to make me
think!! Yes it must be, I loved this act and so it must be true !! IM
gay, most of you were right! I'm just denying that fact! I felt so
good about myself, I wanted to go outside and yell to the world!! IM
GAY!! But instead I drifted of too contented to finally realize who
and what I was. During the night I woke up and felt stud stirring in
his sleep...I reached between his legs and felt the beginning of a
hard on forming, so I slowly stroked his cock as it got harder and
harder.... So I was down between his legs sucking again!! I must have
sucked on his cock for over a half hr. he would get hard as a rock,
but wouldn't shoot off !! My jaws got very sore and soon I dozed off,
without getting him to blast me a load. Soon we woke up and I had to
leave and get home. It truly had been an experience, to say the
least!! I told him I would be back, if not that night, then I would be
back to help him tear down camp. Because of other commitments at home
I was unable to go back that day. But I got up early the next morning
and went out to campsite and had breakfast with camp stud! Then we
proceeded to pack up, but just before we were ready to tear down the
tent, I asked camp stud if I could please suck him dry again?? Well it
was ok by him and back inside we went. This time camp stud had me suck
him hard as he stood in front of me and I was servicing him on my
knees!! Soon he's face fucking me, grabbing the back of my head, he
starts pounding his cock in and out of my mouth like he did to my ass
the 2 nights before!!! 
I thought I was going to gag but he just kept going faster and
faster!! Soon I was rewarded...spurt after spurt come out of his cock
and i sat there swallowing it all up !! dam I couldn't get enough of
him!! He just smiled and pulled back up his shorts and said that was
great!! He told me how that if his lover ever leaves him alone again
he's going to call me...when that happens ill let you all know the
outcome!! Well this was my 1st time at anal sex and let me tell u it
sure will not be my last.... I want to take this time to thank Arlem
and Distman; they helped me to prepare, maxam for his guidance too!!
Without these guys, I don't think I would have had the nerve to go
through with! Also a special thanx goes out to clipped, his insight
helped as did with kieshi a very special dear friend indeed, but alot
of you know max and its max who has captured my heart, he comes on as
being so hard, but deep down he's a pussy cat and he purrs....

A son and father went to see a doctor since the father was getting
very ill.  The doctor told the father and son that the father was
dying from cancer.  The father, who was an Irishman, turned to his son
and said, "Son, even on this gloomy day, it's our tradition to drink
to health as it is in death; so let's go to the pub and celebrate my
demise."
Reluctantly, the son followed his father to the local pub.  There,
while enjoying their ale, the father saw some old friends and told
them he was dying from AIDS.  Shocked, the son turned to his father
and said, "Father, it is not AIDS you are dying from.  It is cancer.
Why did you lie to those men?" The father replied:  "Aye, son, you are
right; but I don't want those guys sleeping with your mother when I'm
gone."

POETRY CORNER
These poems are written and submitted by some of our "Family" members
of the Pink Triangle.

"Confusion"

I try to remove you from my mind
… In confusion
I try to understand my feelings for you
… In confusion
I try to escape the pain I feel
… In confusion
I try to tell myself I don't love you
I try to tell myself that I don't care
That what I feel is infatuation.
Mere curiosity
But I know I am creating falsettos
Creating places to hide my heart
To hide my thoughts
To be safe from myself
… In confusion
(Mamma Tatioun)

ooo  ooo  ooo  ooo

My tongue is a blade
hot-sharp its edges
the flat, wet velvet
A weapon
and an instrument of pleasure
in One
Forged in the furnace of my mouth
Tempered by the ice of your rage
MASTER - teach me to wield this blade
for your pleasure and protection

Embarrassment

Why do we feel this way
The nonsense of caring
About other peoples thoughts
Why should it matter, the feelings
Other people running all our lives
By the way that we think that they think
It's a ridiculous thought
If you ponder
We should all be proud
Of individuality
Of our own thoughts and feelings
And
The way it should be
(Beej)

Speaking of Evolution...(Submitted By Maxax)  
Subject: FWD: [Fwd: 1998 Darwin Awards]

They have finally been released!
For those not familiar with the Darwin Award - It's an annual honor
given to the person who did the universal human gene pool the biggest
service by getting killed in the most extraordinarily stupid way.  As
always, competition this year has been keen again.  Some candidates
appear to
Have trained their whole lives for this event. 
The Darwin Awards Nominees 
1. In September in Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in
two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch wide
sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.  
2. In October, a 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally
zoned when he ran," according to his wife, accidentally jogged off a
200-foot high cliff on his daily run.
3. Buxton, NC: A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had
dug into the sand caved in as he sat inside it.  Beachgoers said
Daniel Jones, 21, dug the hole for fun, or protection from the wind,
and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon
when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand.  People on the
beach, on the outer banks, used their hands and shovels, trying to
claw their way to Jones, a resident of Woodbridge, VA, but could not
reach him.  It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an
hour to free him while about 200 people looked on.  Jones was
pronounced dead at a hospital.  
4. In February, Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA, as he
fell face-first through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was
burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed
in his mouth (to keep his hands free) rammed into the base of his
skull as he hit the floor.
5. According to police in Dahlonega, GA, ROTC cadet Nick Berrena, 20,
was stabbed to death in January by fellow cadet JeffreyHoffman, 23 who
was trying to prove that a knife could not penetrate the flak vest
Berrena was wearing.
6. Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed in February in Selbyville,
Del., as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a
revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.

7. In February, according to police in Windsor, Ont., Daniel Kolta,
27, and Randy Taylor, 33, died in a head-on collision, thus earning a
tie in the game of chicken they were playing with their snowmobiles. 
8. [Ineligible, but credit given for trying] AUGUSTA, ME - Four people
were injured in a string of bizarre accidents.  Sherry Moeller was
admitted with a head wound caused by flying masonry, Tim Vegas was
diagnosed with a mild case of whiplash and contusions on his chest,
arms
and face, Bryan Corcoran suffered torn gum tissue, and Pamela
Klesick's first two fingers of her right hand had been bitten off.
Moeller had just dropped her husband off for his first day of work
and, in addition to a good-bye kiss, she flashed her breasts at him.
"I'm still not sure why I
did it," she said later. "I was really close to the car, so I didn't
think anyone would see. Besides, it couldn't have been for more than
two seconds."  However, cab driver Vegas did see, and lost control of
his cab, running over the curb and into the corner of the Johnson
Medical
Building.  Inside, Klesick, a dental technician, was cleaning
Corcoran's teeth. 
Thecrash of the cab against the building made her jump, tearing
Corcoran's gums with a cleaning pick.  In shock, he bit down, severing
two fingers from Klesick's hand. Moeller's wound was caused by a
falling piece of the medical building. 
9. [Ineligible, better luck next year!] TAOS, NM - A woman went to a
poison control center after eating three birth-control vaginal
inserts. Her English was so bad she had to draw a picture describing
how she believed she had poisoned herself.  A translator arrived
shortly thereafter and confirmed doctors' suspicions.  Marie
Valishnokov thought the inserts were some kind of candy or gum, being
unable to read the foil wrappers.  After the third one, she realized
something was wrong when her throat and mouth began to fill with a
sour-tasting foam.  She ran for the Poison Control Center, only a few
blocks away where doctors were able to flush the foam from her mouth,
throat, and stomach with no ill effects. 
11. On February 3, 1990, a Renton, Washington man tried to commit a
robbery.  
This was probably his first attempt, as suggested by the fact that he
had no previous record of violent crime, and by his terminally stupid
choices as listed below:  

1. The target was H&J Leather & Firearms, a gun shop;  
2. The shop was full of customers, in a state where a substantial
portion of the adult population is licensed to carry concealed
handguns in public places;  
3. To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked Police patrol car
parked at the front door; 
4. An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter, having
coffee before reporting to duty.  
Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and
fired a few wild shots.  The officer and a clerk promptly returned
fire, removing him from the gene pool.  Several other customers also
drew their guns, but didn't fire. No one else was hurt. 

12. In France, Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he
decided to commit suicide.  He stood at the top of a tall cliff and
tied a noose around his neck.  He tied the other end of the rope to a
large rock. He drank some poison and set fire to his clothes.  He even
tried to shoot himself at the last moment.  He jumped and fired the
pistol.  The bullet missed him completely and cut through the rope
above him.  Free of the threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea.
The sudden dunking extinguished the flames and made him vomit the
poison.  He was dragged
out of the water by a kind fisherman, and was taken to hospital...
where he died - of hypothermia. 
DARWIN AWARD HONORABLE MENTIONS

(1) In Guthrie, Okla., in October, Jason Heck tried to kill amillipede
with a shot from his .22-caliber rifle, but the bullet ricocheted off
a rock near the hole and hit pal Antonio Martinez in the head,
fracturing his skull. 
(2) In Elyria, Ohio, in October, Martyn Eskins, attempting to clean
out cobwebs in his basement, declined to use a broom in favor of a
propane torch and caused a fire that burned the first and second
floors of his house. 
(3) Paul Stiller, 47, was hospitalized in Andover Township, NJ, in
September, and his wife Bonnie was also injured, by a quarter-stick of
dynamite that blew up in their car. While driving around at 2AM, the
bored couple lit the dynamite and tried to toss it out the window to
see what
would happen, but they apparently failed to notice that the window was
closed.
(4) Taking "Amateur Night" Too Far: In Betulia, Colombia, an annual
festival in November includes five days of amateur bullfighting.  This
year, no bull was killed, but dozens of matadors were injured,
including one gored in the head and one Bobbittized.  Said one
participant, "It's
just one bull against [a town of] a thousand Morons." 

AND THE WINNER IS....
Japan Times-April 16, 1997 "The government must crack down on this
disgusting craze of 'Pumping'", a spokesman for the Nakhon Ratchasima
hospital told reporters.  "If this perversion catches on, it will
destroy the cream of Thailand's manhood.  "He was speaking after the
remains of 13 year-old Charnchai Puanmuangpak had been rushed into the
hospital's emergency room.  "Most 'Pumpers' use a standard bicycle
pump," he explained,"inserting the nozzle far up their rectum, giving
themselves a rush of air, creating a momentary high.  This act is a
sin against God." 
It appears that the young Charnchai took it further still.  He started
using a two-cylinder foot pump, but even that wasn't exciting enough
for him, so he boasted to friends that he was going to try the
compressed air hose at a nearby gasoline station. They dared him to do
it, so, under
cover of darkness, he snuck in.  Not realizing how powerful the
machine was, he inserted the tube deep into his rectum, and placed a
coin in the slot.  As a result, he died virtually instantly, leaving
passers-by still in shock.  One woman thought she was watching a
twilight fireworks
display, and started clapping.  "We still haven't located all of him",
say the police authorities.  "When that quantity of air interacted
with the gas in his system, he nearly exploded.  It was like an atom
