CIRCULATION: 202

Howdy Guys and Gals, with the summer now in the past and the cooler
weather now upon us, we begin to look forward to the beauty the fall
season brings with it! This time of year is one of my most favorites,
as the colors begin to turn to flaming red, bright orange and vibrant
yellow. Although, I am not sure I will get to see these color changes
this year, because I'm not sure Florida has a fall. The weather here
is still very warm�as a matter of fact I still go swimming every day
and lounge in the hot tub! (Boy, what a life! LOL)
Growing up and living in Arkansas and the Ozarks, the one thing I miss
is the fall season! It is absolutely breathtaking, with its mighty
flourishes of color! 
When I think of fall, I think of romantic drives in the country, cool
evenings, (great for snuggling), as well as the warm breezes blowing
the leaves around. Personally, I feel it's like everything seems to
come alive in the fall!
One of my past favorite memories would be when I took a trip to Eureka
Springs Arkansas in late September. The small town was celebrating a
folk festival that weekend, with a parade going through Main Street.
All of the Victorian Style Bed and Breakfast homes were decorated with
fall colored garlands, pumpkins and scarecrows. We walked through the
winding road through Main Street after dark admiring all the
spectacularly lit homes and the magic that filled the air! There were
horse drawn carriages giving tours through the town, ending up the
tour at the grand Castle Hotel on the Hill (I forget the actual name
of the Hotel). It was absolutely incredible, with a feeling of being
in a romantic wonderland full of color.
We ate breakfast on the patio surrounded by the splendid array of
colors from the fall flowers. If you ever get the chance to visit
Eureka Springs Arkansas and enjoy crafts and little out of the way
shops, I highly recommend it during the fall! You will want to be sure
to stay at one of the fine Bed and Breakfast homes located on Main
Street. It is an experience you will not soon forget if you're looking
for a place for romance!  
Although summer has past and vacations are over, maybe a romantic get
a way to enjoy the beauty of the fall colors, with time spent with
someone you care a great deal about would be the perfect retreat! Even
though with the close of summer season, we begin to see things begin
to fade away and die, to prepare for winter, love can still blossom
igniting a flame that will carry you through those cold months ahead!
Just something to think about!

EDITORIAL:

HEY FOLKS! I'd like to take just a moment to remind you of the plans
being made for our "Family" Reunion in the spring. We have gotten
several inquiries about when, where and so forth. So�here are the
tentative plans thus far: We thought having the reunion in the spring
would be great before the summer vacations begin. Also, we are
starting to get the ball rolling now, so that all can make plans to
attend, as well as save their pennies! As of right now, we are looking
at Memorial Day weekend for a 3-day, fun filled, memory-making event
you won't want to miss!
Not only is this a time for everyone to get together as a "Family",
but also I think there are going to be some "exciting" events that
will take place during that weekend that I am sure are going to be
very special, as well as spectacular! I can not reveal any details as
of yet, as these plans are still in the making, however we will be
mailing out the details of the reunion sometime after the first of the
year!
Since we have gotten such a wonderful response thus far about the
reunion, I am curious to know just how many people would be interested
in attending, as to know tentatively what type of lodging we need make
preparations for. There are cabins overlooking the lake, located just
down the road from Freddie's cottage, where the event will take place.
We are looking to reserve these cabins if need be and if enough people
plan to attend, possibly we could get a group discount rate! Also,
there is a campground, also overlooking the lake for those that have
campers. We are also looking into airfare rates for those who are
interested.
Goose & Gander, Misty, Freddie & I are trying to put together a
weekend full of exciting events as big as any festival you could
attend. We have also had several people who are also interested in
helping make this a very special weekend. If you would also like to
help, I'm very sure we could use your talents! We all want this to be
a weekend full of memories. So�I realize this event is several months
away, however, I'm asking for a general idea of how many people to
anticipate. If you think you can possibly attend this wonderful
"Family" reunion, please email me at: [email protected]
Let's get the ball rolling right now to make this a very special and
memorable Memorial Day weekend reunion of The Pink Triangle!
Thanks Family,
Alladdinn & FreddieB

LETTERS TO THE EDITORS

Hello My Family, Have missed everyone bunches! 
I have been very, very busy for I have gone back to college so I need

as I can but that depends on my class load right now it's very heavy.
However, that could be because I have been out of school for 5 yrs
now. So I'm getting back into the swing of things everything going
good. I'M SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR BEING AWAY SO LONG
PLEEEAAASSEE??????? 

Huggsssss & kissesssss & kissssssesss,

If any of you care:
Just to see how it would go, I "logged-on" as a guest today,
pretending it was my first time. I was called names, treated as a
"pariah," told to get out and come back when I had the software! It
was an eye opening experience. I asked questions like: "Why are people
talking in parenthesis (like this)? And was told, "Get a clue!" Then,
someone actually bumped me off the connection. I know because, I came
back and they were still laughing about it! I returned as my "Log-In"
name (Lew_Artist). The conversation eventually shifted to a person's
son having cerebral palsy and though I am sensitive to others, I
continued to be my light-hearted self and keep the "air" in PT light
and funny and GAY! Hello! It IS a Gay Chat Room! I was insulted, told
to stop thinking with my genitalia and to get the fuck out! I've been
gone from PT for a long time now. Mostly because of this type of
"Unfriendly Behavior," and petty bitchiness of its members. If the PT
is to continue to be the fun place it was in the beginning, you would
be doing yourselves and the "MUGS" a favor by becoming more welcoming
and friendly. If they have questions, answer them, help them.
Remember, we were ALL mugs once! If you are troubled and your lives
are "in a shambles" take your cause to a private chat where you can
talk with those who care. Not everyone is interested in your sad,
unhappy life or wants to hear your troubles. And if someone asks you
to lighten-up and enjoy this beautiful day, hostility is not the
answer. Rudeness is a weak man's imitation of strength.
The experience today was so hostile. I removed the software from my
computer. I don't think I want to return to a gay chat room where the
members are so offensive and rude.
__________________________
A NOTE FROM ALLADDINN: 
OK folks, I feel this is something that needs to be addressed! In our
weekly writers meeting, we have discussed the abuse of "mugs" in the
room. Now�granted, we have had our share of "mug bashers", (Those mugs
that come in the room to bash our family) or mugs that think they know
it all. I, for one, tend to put the mugs on ignore, because of their
stupidity and rude comments! However, not all mugs are stupid, or
rude�we have some of our family that have to come in as mugs due to
work, or software problems, or as in this case, just as a test to see
how they are treated. I have done it, I will admit it and I got the
same reaction from people the night I came in as a mug! I have tried
in the past few weeks to help those "mugs" by introducing them to the
FREE software that is available, BUT�I seem to always get the ones
that insist on being "Assholes", So�yes, I am guilty of bashing
them�and I enjoy it! I am not saying we have to roll out the red
carpet for these "mugs", but we can at least try to welcome them into
the PT and help them with the FREE software downloading. If they
insist on being rude�Then bring out the guns! Although, if you come in
the room as a mug in disguise and deliberately try to cause problems,
you can expect the room to react as they did in this instance! 
Of course, this is MY opinion�and you are entitled to yours as well.

GAY VOICE
(Prime)

Alright family. As I have been saying over and over again. I am
keeping my eyes out over in Hawaii. Why? It's simple. They are about
to step where no one else has before. SAME SEX MARRIAGE. Here is an
article taken from HRC WASHINGTON -- Anti-gay forces in Hawaii veered
onto the low road this week in their campaign against same-gender
marriage. They launched a television ad that panders to prejudice and
aims to scare Hawaii residents into voting for a constitutional
amendment that would give the state Legislature the unprecedented
power to single out a specific group for discrimination. 
The 30-second ad features a little boy sitting in a living room,
reading a copy of the illustrated book, "Daddy's Wedding." "First,
Daddy put a gold ring on Frank's finger. After that, Reverend Paul
said they were married," reads the small boy, who sounds confused. The
commercial ends with an ominous adult voice warning, "If you don't
think homosexual marriage will affect you, how do you think it will
affect your children?" 
Ironically, this book was created to help children with with gay
parents deal with discrimination perpetuated by religious political
groups like the ones running these ads, according to the Human Rights
Campaign. "The religious right has always been exceptionally good at
ear-mongering and creating bogey men," said HRC Communications
Director and Senior Strategist David M. Smith. "They can't win on them
merits of their issues so they resort to distorting the truth in an
effort to manipulate the emotions of the ill-informed."
Protect Our Constitution HRC, a group formed to stop the religious
right's anti-gay campaign, is countering with highly effective ads
that highlight the dangers of trampling on the rights of a minority
and tampering with the Hawaii Constitution.
"Not once in the history of the United States has a state legislature
amended the constitution in order to deprive a single group of
citizens of a right the court says is already theirs. If they succeed,
who is next?" asks Jean Aoki, president of the League of Women Voters
Hawaii, in one television ad. In other ads, former Deputy Schools
Superintendent Al Miyasato appeals to the Hawaiian voters' "spirit of
aloha," and state Sen. Mike McCartney and former state Rep. Jackie
Young warn voters of the dangerous impact the amendment will have on
the state government. "Our constitutional rights are what unite us in
Hawaii," he says. "They reflect the spirit of aloha which allows us to
live together despite our differences. ... Protect our constitution
and vote no on November third."
While these ads deliver a potent message, they must to be seen to be
effective. That's where you can help.Your generous contributions will
go toward purchasing additional television advertising time. It is
vital that we get out our message to overcome the smear campaign by
Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition and his religious political
extremist allies. WE CAN WIN!! But we must raise more than $1 million,
and Election Day is looming. We have raised more than half of that $1
million, but it will take each and every one of us to raise the
remaining $500,000 to ensure victory on Nov. 3. 
The Hawaii Supreme Court is poised to rule favorably on the Hawaii
marriage case and to bring the dream of same gender marriage within
our grasp. Attorney Dan Foley and the lawyers from Lambda Legal
Defense and Education Fund deserve enormous credit for shepherding
this case through the courts. Let's protect Hawaii's constitution and
make it possible for us to win the freedom to marry. Please be
generous, and join us in making history together. 
Just email me if you want the address to contribute. I'll pass it back
to you.

IN MY OPINION

This space is reserved for ANYONE who wants to express how they feel
about any "Family" related issues in our room! Each week there will be
a guest writer for this column. EVERYONE is more than welcome to
participate in expressing their OPINION for this column! All
submissions send to: [email protected]

(Fairymoon)

Ignorance the state of being uneducated or uninformed as defined by
Webster's dictionary. We have all had some dealings with ignorant
people. Most of the bashers that we meet in the room are simply
ignorant and with a little help begins to see and understand that we
are not that unlike them. Others are just mean and no amount of
talking will ever change what they think. Ignorance can be very
hurtful if it comes from someone we love but with family we have a
chance to educate them, with time most love ones will learn that we
are still the children that they raised.
I was ignorant about Aids until I went through it recently with a
friend. I saw the pain he suffered because of ignorant people. People
who had the chance to be educated but chose not to. Education about
Aids is spreading more people are learning about the disease. The way
it is spread, the way to stop the spread, and ways to help those who
suffer from it. But ignorance still exists.
Another form of ignorance is that against gay people. One way that we
as a community can stop that is to be out. The more that we are seen
the less likely it is for people to stay ignorant to us. One can not
ignore what is always in their face. Being out is not always easy but
hiding only furthers society's ability to ignore us. Once we are seen
as normal, with the same problems and concerns they have, then they
will be more likely to try and help us further our rights as citizens.
Now is the time for our children to learn about gay people not from a
society that fears us but from the loving gay people they already
know.      
Even gay people can be ignorant of another's feelings. We have all
been in the room when someone says they are bisexual and a gay person
belittles them for not making a choice. They have made the choice that
is right for them. Who are we to judge? We complain about straights
doing the very same to us.
So in closing just let me say that we all can be ignorant but we all
have the chance to learn. So let's take that chance and learn as much
as we can about each other. Ignorance is one disease that does have a
cure. Let's all use it.
Ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to
heaven.
Thanks for listening to my opinion.

I'M COMING OUT! OCTOBER IS NATIONAL COMING OUT MONTH
(PRIMEBEAR)

I'm Coming�Out. I'm Coming. I'm Coming...Out. I'm Coming Out. I want
the world to know, got to let it show...
Diana Ross sang that during our disco era of the 70's and 80's. I'm
sure she wasn't thinking about us when she recorded that song but we
as a society have a way of adapting music to our cause.
October 11, 1998 is National Coming Out Day. That means there is 9
days left at this printing before that event. It is a yearly festival
held everywhere. In some cities, gays will gather and hold a
commitment ceremony. Other places there will be candle light marches.
As you know, two weeks ago I printed this column with my story about
coming out. How difficult a decision that was but in the long run,
probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Last week I printed
another article on Coming Out. Information I gathered from Human
Rights Campaign. This week I'm honored to present a coming out story
from one of our family members, Allladdinn. So sit back, relax, grab a
drink and your fags (cigarettes) and read on. Thanks guys.

Alladdinn bought new clothes for the closet and CAME OUT!
(ALLADDINN)

I have been OUT for almost four years now. I had known for some time
that I was gay, but was not ready to accept it. Actually, I ran from
it! I am from a small town in Arkansas where everyone knows everyone
else. It was not socially acceptable to be gay in this small town,
although there was somewhat a gay community there. However, most of
them were closeted homosexuals, or married men who lurked in public
restrooms or restops. We had our cases of AIDS, but it was not public
knowledge, it was covered up as some other cause of death, whether it
was cancer or some other cause. 
I had a few homosexual experiences in my hometown, but because of my
Baptist upbringing and the knowledge of being gay as socially
unacceptable, I tried to focus on religion. I became very active in my
church, which was now Assembly of God. I believed that I could
overcome this feeling toward the same sex. It worked for some time. I
got very involved with the children's ministry at our church. I felt I
had a calling to work with children. I believed I finally had found a
meaning for my life and was willing to put everything else aside. I
felt so strong about this that I went to a Bible College for two years
to train to be a children's minister. 
The first summer vacation of my first year in Bible College, I was
working at a center for retarded individuals. There, I became best
friends with one of my male coworkers. By the end of the summer we had
decided to get an apartment together. He did not attend the college
and all my friends from the college told me he would wind up bringing
me down because he was not a "Christian". I told them this was a prime
opportunity to be a good witness to him and that Jesus himself went to
where the sinners were, not waiting for them to come to him. I wasn't
trying to convert him; all I wanted to do was be a good friend to him!
However, during the course of the year we lived together I fell in
love with him. Now I was faced with the decision of continuing my
education and following through with something I felt was worthwhile,
or to continue living a lie. He moved out when school started in the
fall and I decided I could not go back to Bible College for fear of
being found out! 
Shortly after that, I met a guy that invited me to go to a birthday
party for his lover. The birthday party was at a gay bar and needless
to say I was very nervous about going there. "What if I'm hit on by
another man?" I really didn't know what to expect or what to do if
that happened! I was very surprised when I got there. 
To make a long story even longer�that night I saw my first drag show.
During the months that followed, I made several friends that were gay,
as well as got into doing drag myself! (I might add, I make a damn
good-looking woman!) Some of my friends from work kept asking me where
I go to "party" and wanted to go out with me some night. I finally
came out to them, and much to my surprise they were very accepting
because they knew me before they knew I was gay. Some of them even
came to some of my performances when I did drag and thought some woman
was hitting on them when I came up to talk to them! (So� then I knew I
was convincing as a woman!) 
I met my first lover two years ago. We lived with his family, but we
had the lower level of the house to ourselves. It was like living in a
huge apartment with another family living above us, except for the
fact that it was his family and we had to include them in our everyday
lives.
However, his mom was not very accepting of me at first because she had
gotten very close to his past lover who had moved out shortly before I
moved in, although their relationship had ended long before (Long
story).
I had not come out to my family at this time because of fear of
rejection. My brother had figured it out the Christmas before because
he asked what kind of bars I went to. When I told him, he was not
surprised and much to my amazement he was very accepting about it! I
always felt there was no need to tell my parents I was gay because I
didn't want them to worry. It wasn't until I got into a relationship
that I began to want to tell them so I could share that part of my
life with them.
Finally�on Fourth of July weekend, we were supposed to go back to
Arkansas for a family reunion. My lover really didn't want to go
because he felt we were living a lie because we had to play
"roommates" each time we went to my parents. So�I decided to call my
mother and come out to her and get it all out in the open! I really
didn't want to do this over the phone, but I also really didn't want
to face her either! I had written her a letter, but had decided
against that as well. I felt now was the time to get it all out and
face whatever was going to happen! 
I was so nervous about telling her. I really didn't know how she was
going to take it. I had always been the "good" son that never got into
any trouble, unlike my brother. I told her I had something I need to
tell her�but at that point I became VERY nervous about her reaction!
My lover sat beside me, holding my hand as I tried to get the words
out. I couldn't do it as hard as I tried, the words just wouldn't come
out! She began asking me if I was in trouble, if I had been in a
wreck, if I had lost my job, if me and my roommate had gotten into a
fight�everything except guessing that I was trying to tell her I was
gay! 
Finally, I told her I had written a letter to try to explain what I
wanted to say and asked if I could read it to her. I know that telling
her over the phone, as well as reading her a letter is a bit of a cop
out, but I was really scared how she was going to react! When I got to
the part that I stated that I was gay�I skipped over it and began
crying. Finally, I told her there was more to my roommate and I than
just being "roommates" and do you know what she said to me? "Well that
is no surprise to me, I figured that out long ago!" I just sat there
in amazement and replied: "Well mom, why did you make it so hard for
me to tell you if you already knew?" She simply said in return: "Well,
what if I had been wrong?" So�in other words, she knew but she wanted
me to be the one to tell her! She went on to tell me that although she
doesn't agree with the lifestyle, it is not her place to tell me how
to live my life�and that I am her son and she loves me no matter what!
Shortly after that I came out to my Dad and got the same response from
him! 
I suppose I am lucky to have such an accepting family. My mom was a
big support for me when my lover and I broke up! She and my dad had
divorced the year before, so she could relate to my situation and the
feelings I was forced to deal with! Both my mom and my dad have always
been very supportive of all my wild whims throughout my life. Even
when I called and told my mom that I was moving to Florida to move in
with a "friend", she was supportive. Although, she asked if this was
someone I had met over the Internet? It wasn't until later that I told
her the truth about Freddie and I, but again she knew without me
actually telling her! Mothers seem to have this sense of what is going
on with their kids! The only thing she had to say about it was:
"Florida is a long way from home with no one to turn to in time of
need! �I hope you know what you're getting yourself into!" Since then
I have tried to reassure her that I am very happy with my decision and
am happier than I have ever been in my life!
Although not every coming out has a happy ending, I feel very lucky
that my family not only accepts me as being gay, but also my partner
as part of the family! Of course they are concerned for my well being,
but they also want me to be happy and if being in a same-sex
relationship is what makes me happy, then they will honor my decision.
They both told me they may not agree with my lifestyle, but who are
they to keep me from finding happiness and wish me the best of luck
with my life!   
Coming out to my family was the hardest thing I think I have ever had
to do�
However, I am so glad to know I have the love and support of my
family, as well as their acceptance of the person I want to spend the
rest of my life with! I am also very glad I have the family of the
Pink Triangle for love and support as well as some of the best friends
I have ever had!

AIDS TRIBUTE

This column in dedicated to those of our family that are dealing with
AIDS in one way or another. Most of us either have loved ones or know
of people who are suffering from this deadly disease.
This is simply a means of support to those in our family that are
dealing with the pain that goes along with this. We would like to form
a support group of some kind for those that are dealing with this
pain. If anyone is interested in helping us form this support group,
or has any ideas�Please email us at: ([email protected]).
Sometimes it helps to get through the rough times if we have someone
to talk to that has also gone through similar circumstances. 

News from Gany

If you need info on the net about anything, check out www.miningco.com
they mine the net for you to find the best sites for what you want.
It's great for info. about AIDS, too.

http://www.freespeech.org/ is a site run by the folks at PBS. It
promotes FREE SPEACH and they are looking for people to get involved
and just talk in an honest way about whatever.

This weekend marks the 13th anniversary of my baby, Frenchie, having
learned that he has AIDS. My god!!! It's that long already!! He's
still alive with me, although it's now become a very slender thread. I
have talked with another well-known person of the pt about his
feelings when his baby left him. I need to know to help guide me. It
has now come a time for me to reach out and seek advice. Frenchie's
time is limited. 

The winds of autumn are now blowing. The leaves are falling. Winter
will soon be here. I hate winter.

Hello all;
Hi my dear old friends from the pink triangle, and new ones. Just a
few lines to tell you about myself. As most of you know, I'm a little
older than most of you at 52. I first started chatting here in
January, with my little brother, David the gander. He is my best
friend and I love him dearly.
I had considered myself as single in the gay community, but since I
have meet a man that I am falling in love with, his name is Brian and
he is 32. I am married yet, to my wife, Barb, and have a 20 year old
son Tim, my pride and joy. They both know and accept that I am gay. I
come from a large family, two brothers and three sisters. I grew up on
a farm here in Nebraska. I am a construction foreman. I have been in
this line of work for 30 years. I love it, although it is hard work.
When I chat with you I am staying with a friend in Omaha (madep) this
is only on weekends.  
I'm 6ft 1/2inches tall 175# short brown hair and hazel eyes and as
some of you know a wierd sense of humor. hee hee My outlook on life is
a stranger is just a friend I haven't meet before I love talking to
people.
Did I say a few lines? Maybe there is more to me than I thought (lol)
or just a gift of gab. Well that's it!

Your friend always, with all my love
Ray

Ok, here goes everyone! My screen name is Western_Man39 or Western39
and sometimes Western_Spice, I go by no others. I have been coming to
the pt for some time now and must say I like it alot. Everyone is very
friendly and I love talking to you all. Now about me�scary! HELP!
My name is Ed and I come from a very large family, I have 6 brothers
(4 living) and 4 sisters (two living) and 8 stepbrothers and sisters
whom we are very close. 
I am the only gay sibling and am loved by all and came to know about
my sexual orientation at an early age. I fought with the fact for many
years, growing up in 
Oregon mostly moving back and forth to Nebraska. I was 17 when I
married my childhood sweetheart and that lasted about 11 months, then
I kicked her ass out for, well let's just say, fucking around... I was
on the rebound and met another woman, whom I thought I was in love
with, Little did I know nothing about how true love felt. So we
married and was together for 7 years, legally married for 10. Out of
that disaster came my pride and joy Nathan, he is 11 years old and
lives and shares my life with me in the state of Oregon now. I moved
from Nebraska to find myself and thought Texas would be a great start,
so off I went into the wild. 
I arrived not knowing anyone, scared and all along in the world, not
only never being to a gay bar, I had to deal with how I would come
out.
Well, I got a place had a great job, and decided one night to go to
the bar with my roommate. Well, I am here to tell ya, it was more than
I could dream of. All this flesh there at my finger tips. Wooooo
HOOOOO, god I was in heaven.... LOL 
I met a man who was very nice, not my type really, however very nice
and we became very good friends and used to meet at the bar only on
the weekends. Then one night during the week I was off work and
decided to go out and meet some people. Well little did I know I was
going to a country bar. OMG all the flesh and hats� a man's dream come
true.
Well I was visiting with people and having a great time and a friend
of mine whom I ran into told me about this very handsome man watching
me from across the room. Well I laughed and said " Ya Right" at me
huh... LOL Well I am not ugly by all means, however the thought of a
cowboy watching me�Please! Well, it was true! The man of my dreams was
there wanting me and not knowing how to approach me. So the gutsy
person I am, I walk up to the bar to order a drink and said hello to
him� Well, when we made eye contact, I knew he was the man I wanted to
spend the rest of my life with. I was in love.... My heart fell to the
darn floor. He asked me to dance, and I had to say yes, I mean really,
wouldn't you!?  
We danced for hours, two stepping and singing to each other and then
the moment came, I asked him if I may kiss him� I was so nervous� He
said I was hoping you would. His name by the way is Tommy. He and I
had to have kissed for an hour. It was very romantic. Well, we went to
my place and talked all night, lying in my bed just holding each other
and talking. You see, cowboys are very much romantics, and that is me,
a hopeless romantic.
Well, he and I both had to go to work, so we took a shower together
and out the door we went. I never heard from him that night like he
had promised and of course I thought " here we go again". But the next
day at my work, my boss said your man is on the phone and we talked
for about 1/2 hour and he had asked me out to
dinner and dancing.  I said yes of course, you would have too. 
Well, we had a great time and he spent the night with me and we got
sleep this time and a lot of love making. We were together everyday
since then for the next 9 years. He was my first true love. I will
never forget his warmth, compassion, tenderness, and spirit. Well I
hate to say this, he and I broke up last March, 1998 after moving from
our home in Nebraska to Oregon Coast to live out our lives together.
He needed something I couldn't give him� His cake and eat it too� So I
loved him enough to let him go. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I
thought my world would end.
I even wanted to kill myself. But I woke up from a good drunk and said
no man or woman is worth that and I decided from that moment on, that
I would live my life for me and my son. Who needed me very much. He
was my gift from God after all and I had made God a promise that I
would care for this child if given the chance. Well, 5 years ago, God
Blessed me with custody of my son. He is a good boy, and knows of me
and my ex and my lifestyle and is very cool with it. He know is
bugging me to find a boyfriend. 
I am looking for My Next Mr. Right, he is out there somewhere, I know,
and
I think I saw him in PT, but will let you know how that works out. I
am 39 years old and love music, dancing, talking (most of you already
know that) and the beach, camping, fishing, kids, men ... I am a
ceramic instructor and sales and marketing manager for a company out
of Mo. for the last 9 years.  I don't go out much, as I feel my son
needs me at home, so I have my Internet friends and I enjoy them
tremendously and talk on the pt or guy talk nightly. I can't get
enough sometimes. 
I have met some great people on here and some real (well, let's say
they do need some help) dealing those cards� LOL 
I strive on friendships and cherish each and everyone I have. I never
want to be rich, as I am rich in Friends. 
So there, now you have it, if you have anything you want to ask me, I
will tell you, but then may have to kill you, so the choice is yours
to make. Thank you for welcoming me into your family of friends and I
pray God blesses each and everyone of you! 

Thanks!

shymom_ OR PT-mom:

Well to most of the family here they know that I am married and have 4
kids.  
My 2 oldest kids are my stepsons and their ages are 20 and 15. I have
a daughter who is 13 from my first marriage and a son from this
marriage who is 2. Well how I came across this room was through my
cousin Ashlee. You see she does not have a computer and I could not
afford the Internet so between the two of us we share. That is how I
met a lot of you here in the Pink Triangle.  I checked out a few other
chat rooms and they made me feel uncomfortable.  I guess being a
newbie isn't 
easy. So when I decided to chat in the Pink Triangle, Ashlee said that
the people there are a great bunch and they will make you feel welcome
and to my surprise I have had nothing but wonderful times chatting
with you all. I am a very quiet person in real life regardless of what
some of the family may say. LOL I have a big heart and try to see the
good in every one. I have enjoyed meeting everyone from the net this
summer. You have truly enriched my family and myself's life
tremendoulsy.  We hope to keep these friendships going for a very long
time even after the Internet I hope.  
Well I am 5'8" tall and my weight is my biggest problem. As for the
nicknames that I use, the first one well�I am shy in real life and I
am a mom so that is why I came up with the name shymom. As for PT-mom
well since I have met some of the people here in person and they call
me mom so I figured that PT=pink triangle and I do not mean to take
anything away from Mamma Tat�she is the best. So if you 
have any questions about me please feel free to ask as I have nothing
to hide and you are all my extended family whom I love very much and
treasure everytime I get the chance to chat with you all on line.
Anyway, I did not mean for it to be this long guys�sorry.  

Love to you all
shymom_ or PT-mom = Cathy

To all of the PT Readers,

Hi!  My name is pope_johnpaul. My real name is Paul. I have been
chatting in PT for a little over a year now.  A couple of weeks ago
the ever-wonderful Gander (wink) IM'd me and asked if I would like to
start receiving the PT news. I don't know about you, but being a
sophomore in college, not having cable, nor receiving the daily paper,
any news is good news, whether it is gossip or not. Needless to say, 
I have really enjoyed the two issues that I have read.  
I was in the room the other day, when Gander, yet again, IM'd me. This
time he asked me if I would like to write a bio of myself for the PT.
I have been extremely busy lately, but I decided to sit down and do it
anyway. So, here goes.

I was born in a suburb of Chicago called Downer's Grove.  I lived
there for the first  year of my life. Then my parents moved out to the
lovely Los Angeles where my sister was born a year later.  We then
moved to Shelbyville, IN. From there Indianapolis, where we stayed
with my grandparents for awhile and then found a house. Then to an
apartment, then to another house, and then we moved to Terre Haute
where we found a house, and then another one.  Then to Noblesville, 
where we found a house.  Then another one, and then to Crawfordsville,
where we found a house.  And that is where we are located at the
moment.  A lot of moving for someone only 19 years old right?  Well,
both of my parents are United Methodist pastors.  And yes, they know
that I am gay and they love me ever-so-much more.  Thank god.
Like I said earlier, I am a sophomore in college.  I am a "University
Studies" Major (undecided).  And I currently, but not much longer,
have a piano minor.  I am the president of the
Gay-Lesbian-Ally-Association of Millikin (GLAAM, isn't that lovely
name?  LOL).  I also enjoy reading, listening to music, going to dance
clubs (yes, I am turning into a club kid), and just hanging out with
my friends.
As for a relationship, I currently have a boyfriend, who's at home,
which is two and a half hours away.  That sucks, but we call each
other a lot.  Phone bills are NOT the best thing in the world.  LOL.
I have been chatting for over a year now, and I am a little sad
because I don't have as much time to chat this year as I did last
year. I really enjoy talking with everyone in the room and, in sense,
you have all become a "family" to me.  Thank you guys for everything,
especially Gander and Faunus.

Well, I have been rambling enough.  Hope to see you all in the room
sometime.  And if I left anything out or you have a question, just
send me an IM, and I will gratefully answer anything you ask.

Bye now,
pope_johnpaul

Hi Mike, 
Hi friends,
I hope this finds you as happy as I am. You asked me to keep you
informed, so I'll try/ lol Brian, my baby and I have been courting for
8 weeks now. He treats me like I am the sexiest man he ever meet. Good
for my ego/ but where to start? I have known him for over 5 years. At
that time we both were in other relationships. His for 7 years, mine
for 3. I always thought of him as sexy and flirted with him. His
lover, Tony, I always liked and respected. Mine was a user. Tony died
of an aids related illness over a year ago. My ex and I broke up over
a year and a half ago. We are still friends. I will always love him,
but I am not IN LOVE with him.
Background 
I am white (german) 53  years of age, married yet with a 20 year old
son (tim)
Brian, black, 32,and very sexy (my oreo cookie). Chocolate on the
outside with a creamy center. Lol. As I've said we met 8 weeks ago at
club 15 and everything clicked. I am 6ft 1in 175 #. He is 5ft 10 in
and 155# I have always been a top for the most part, but with him I
still am but will put my ass in the air and say, fuck me. (Ok, I'm a
slut), but only Brian's. I have always said for the right man I can
and will be a bottom. Sorry, I know that this is more information than
you want to know. But I can't be anything but honest.  Honesty is what
I demand and give. Both to Brian and friends. I had been in the closet
too long. Wish me well, my friend, with Brian. I feel like the sexiest
man on the earth. I always have a hard on around him. Around I don't
feel 53, but his age. I am very excited about the journey we will take
through life together. 

 I love him dearly
As always, with all my love
Ray
P.S. 
Ali and Freddie, you can edit this, or put it in the pt news as you
see fit. You two meet bill (goose) before I did, in person, but he
makes David, my little brother so happy. I feel that I know the two of
you through them and the pink triangle.
With love   
Ray w1

A newly discovered tale from Dr. Seuss.

I'm here to ask
As you'll soon see --
Did you grope
Miss Lewinsky?
Did you grope her
In your house?
Did you grope
Beneath her blouse?
I did not do that
Here or there --
I did not do that 
Anywhere.
I did not do that
Near or far
I did not do that
Starr-You-Are
Did you smile?
Did you flirt?
Did you peek 
Beneath her skirt?
And did you tell
The girl to lie
When called upon 
To testify?
I do not like you
Starr-You-Are
I think that you
Have gone too far.
Oh, yes,
But I do now recall
I think I groped her
In the hall
And in the house
and near the wall
but all these things
are personal
And in the office
I left a mess
Upon her pretty
Fluffy dress.
And I was wrong,
but I detest
Starr-You-Are,
You're such a pest.
I will not anwer
Any more --
Perhaps I will go
Start a war!!
A war, oh yes,
Will make me free.
You'll all forget
Miss Lewinsky.
The public then 
Will shout Hurray
And then they will forget the day
I changed my line and told a lie
and Starr-You-Are
I hope will die.
They'll say,
We like this mighty man
When bombs fall on
Afghanistan!
And Bangladesh,
and Tim-buck-too
And Monica Lewinsky too.
And then my zipper
To my chin
Will never let 
A woman in.
So Starr-You-Are
can clearly bet
with Hillary,
I'm celibate.

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!  As always, 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 is happening.  Let's take a
look as the romance blossoms throughout OUR "Family" of the Pink
Triangle!
ROMY MEETS RULAURO
As some of you know, Romy has driven to Texas to meet Rulauro for Ru's
birthday!
I spoke with Ru on Monday evening to ask if Romy made the trip safe
and sound!
RuLauro spoke with great enthusiasm as he told me Romy had made it
there and they were on their way for an early breakfast. He also went
on to express to me how much in love the two of them are! (As if we
didn't already know that!) LOL
Personally, I can't think of two people who are more deserving of the
others love!
I know both of these gentlemen, what they stand for as well as what
they look for in a relationship. If I was trying to play cupid, these
two would most definitely be who I would chose to shoot with the
"love" arrow�However, they didn't need any help from me to find one
another and fall in love!
The best of luck to you two gent's! May all your days be as happy as
the present ones!
Here is RuLauro's version of "The Romance of Romy and Ru"
Well guys Romy and I finally met. It was the best thing of my life.
Romy says that when he got to my apartment he froze for about 2
minutes before he knocked.. when he knocked on my door I felt my blood
freeze because I knew the man I had been spending X amounts of hours
chatting on VP or on the phone was finally at my door step. I opened
the door and there he was. He says the directions I gave him lead him
to me with no problems.
When he came in we immediately embraced with a tight hug. I could feel
every nerve in his body shake as well as mine. His main concern was
that maybe I was gonna be disappointed with what I saw, aren't we all
on our first meetings? Believe me I was not one bit disappointed with
him, however Romy has captured my heart and I didn't care what he
looked like�He is a very handsome man....
After he settled in we went for an early breakfast, where he asked for
unsweet
Tea�He was shocked that here in South Texas all teas at restaurants
are unsweet. After that we went to Wall Mart being that the restaurant
we had breakfast at is in the parking lot of the store�He wanted to go
in the store to look around... We met some very unusual friends, The
Scarecrows in every aisle we walked thru�LOL
As we walked thru the isles we found some cute heart shaped bottles,
the ones that have a cork for a lid. We bought 2 of them because I
wanted to do something symbolic with them�We came home and we talked
and talked, at that moment it was very sensible that we had a lot in
common, even the razors we use to shave with. LOL� We had our first
Kiss and boy both of us were very nervous, we finally started feeling
comfortable with each other and everything started to unfold. We both
realized that we were what we were looking for.
The next day we started our journey. There is this little church by
the Ocean I go to when I feel that I need peace, I feel down or when I
feel happy�I felt the need I wanted to take him there before we did
anything else. We went in we prayed and gave thanks to the Lord for
letting us be together�I also wanted for the Lord to bless us in our
future together and it was very beautiful.
After that we headed for lunch where we talked some more and got
aquatinted with Miss Shirley the waitress... Romy and I just loved
her�Romy couldn't distinguish our onion rings he served himself a full
platter of em thinking they were curly fries...LOL...Romy I love you! 
Anyway we headed for the Malls and he was shocked when he found that
the movie Ledgend of Billie Jean was done here in Corpus Christi�Romy
hates escalators when I showed the one where she came down on in one
part of the movie, he immediately wanted to get on it, he made it a
point that he went on it again before leaving that mall. I also took
him to go see the movie Godzilla since he hadn't watched�He loved it
but, agreed with me that the Lizard was not Godzilla...(Hey Romy!!!!!
Godzilla...LOL) After the mall thing it was time for supper, we went
and had dinner at Buckets which is a nice sports bar, from there it
was family meeting time. We went over to my sister's house he met them
all�What's so wired is that my little niece is very shy around people,
boy she liked Romy instantly �My sister and brother in law hit it very
well since the start. My sister hopes to see him again soon. She
notice the happy look in my face� She did say that she thanked god to
see me happy again and with someone in my life. Then came time to meet
my mom, mom was feeling a little down with the weather but they did
get along perfect. That night I also introduced him to my best friend
and Mike told me that I had picked a very good choice of a man. We
went to the bar that night and had a great time.
The next day we headed for the beach, the beach is the best place to
go too when you're with someone you love. By this point Romy and I did
realize that we do love each other. We had great walk on the beach. We
talked. He also wanted to collect some seashells from there. He was
after a sand dollar. We couldn't find one. The ones we kept finding
were broken. There was a moment I became quiet, I was actually praying
to God and asking Him to give me a sign if this was heading for the
right direction and to my surprise when I looked down there was an
unbroken sand dollar that gave me joy. I just couldn't believe that he
was here with me. Romy and I exchange a certain line with each other
before we log off or get ready to hang up with each other on the
phone. I always ask him to meet me there and what I mean by that is,
meet me under the ocean pier we have here at our beach... I took Romy
to our pier that day and we both walked�He was so happy to finally
know what this pier looked like. Before we left the beach I brought
the 2 little heart bottles out and we did our symbolic thing�What we
did we filled them with sand and some small sea shells. I kept the one
he filled and he kept the one I filled. The meaning of this is that
one day we are gonna reunite the sand together and take it to the same
exact place we got it and bury the 2 bottles together, that will be
done the day he finally does move here.
That night we went out again, we met with these 2 lesbian friends of
mine, they just loved him to death... One of them was my friend's
lover at one time and happened to live in the town that Romy is from
so they chatted alot. I finally got Jim on the dance floor to dance
some Tejano music, we danced and it was just a hoot!!!! Romy has 2
left feet...LOL
Romy and I have decided to unite, but for now its gonna be a long
distance relationship for us which is hard, for both of us. We will
eventually move in together. I don't have any regrets of meeting him
at all. We fell in love and we will be together as a whole and I hope
it's very soon. I wanna share something with you guys. Before he left,
I got on my knees and proposed to him in marriage. He accepted it and
we will tie the knot sometime in the future�It was hard to let go of
each other. Our goodbyes lasted for about three hours and what I mean
by that is, it was alot of hugging, kissing, and also sharing tears
because we didn't wanna part. It was very hard for both of us... we
will be together one day.
Well Guys I'm happy to say Pink Triangle has made another
connection...Thanks to everyone for being friends to us, especially
Ali and Freddie�Ali told me what to expect and it sure did go that
way....
Until next time, all of you Take care and Peace,
RuLauro

Son-In-Law:
(Submitted By Denarius)

A mother was walking down the hall when she heard a humming sound
coming from her daughter's bedroom. When she opened the door she found
her daughter naked on the bed with a vibrator. "What are you doing?"
she exclaimed. The daughter replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home
my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband." Later
that week the father was in the kitchen and heard a humming sound
coming from the basement. When he went downstairs, he found his
daughter naked on a sofa with her vibrator. "What are you doing?" he
exclaimed. The daughter replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home with
my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband." A
couple of days later the mother heard the humming sound again, this
time in the living room.  Upon entering the room, she found her
husband watching television with the vibrator buzzing away beside him.
"What are you doing?" she asked. He replied, "Watching the game with
my son-in-law!"

POETRY CORNER 

A FRIEND
(Submitted By FairyMoon)

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like those blades of grass
you can never mow,
standing straight, tall, and proud
in a perfect little row.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.

(Another love sick poem)
 
When I look to you all I see, is this memory that us to be.
You look to me I see your face, who was she to take my place?
I can receive what I can't give, let me breathe let me live.
You suffer me with all your lies, you can't not see what it is I hide.
As you turn to me, I look to find-that in your eyes I m still blind, 
I can see within your soul, it is not me you want to hold. 
I can't believe you tried to hide, hide the life I could not buy. 
You open the door you let me in, you came to me you came in sin.  
Now all that's left is in this empty space, is the reflection of my
sorry face... 
You can go and leave me be, for as these feeling's I will flee.
Don't look around cause you won't find, me giving you some more time,
For its over it has to be, you're now a reflection of what us to be...
If there was once a breath of air, you took it away that was not fair,
You think you know how it feels to be me, but you don't, you never can
be...
So go on alone and let be�For your just nothing compared to me...

The Sea

Where once there was an empty void left by abuse
 leaving me benefit, surfing an endless stormy sea
The waves of discontent crashing over the barren rocks of a lost soul
 leaving the pieces of my shattered heart in their wake
The tide of unhappiness finally receded
 leaving the pain and bitterness in its wake
A new moon has arisen, the strands of moonlight
striking a deep and hidden place 
Bringing forth renewal, a tiny shard of love
 a chance of rebirth
Your love has awakened within
 a tiny bud of trust of passion of daring to dream again
With the sun bursting forth in all His warmth, bringing new life
 giving warmth to a cold and oft times barren landscape
So shall it be to believe in His warmth
=to once again bathe in His glorious light 
The love bursting forth again to find purchase 
to once again believe to once again growth
Possibilities abound with the gift of Love
An endless and wonderful gift overflowing 
The sun is my life my acceptance to believe again
My sun is You!

LEATHER

Hey PTer's. I got some interesting email over the week and have been
getting some comments from the room. One thing I promised I would not
do this week is say I'M SORRY for the length of this column. So
without further ado, let's get to LEATHER.

It was suggested that I start out with Leather 101. Good point if
you're new to Leather. I suggest you go back and read PTNEWS12. The
hankie code is there. You got to know your codes. Nothing pisses off a
Leatherman than to pick up someone due to the hankie code and find out
this thing doesn't know about a damn thing he is flagging. Proper
dress code is also a must. I can't tell you how many times I was doing
the doorman thing, checking ID's and other things and seeing someone
who looks like they spent an hour or longer priming in front of the
mirror. 
It's a dead give away. We know who IS leather and who WANTS to be. You
do not wear nylon lycra running pants under your leather chaps. Big
turn off. Leathermen love to imagine. Levi 501's brand-new is a no no.
Wear them out. Distress the hell out of them. The more distressed the
better for viewing purposes. A little tease never hurt.
Never play with a MASTER's Slave unless given permission from the
MASTER. 
To be on the safe side, talk to the Master Only and not the slave.
Most of the time, Slaves are only there to please the Master or for
the Master to show off. Masters are usually in Full Dress Leather
compared to the slaves who are often barely dressed leather, has a
collar (if he has been collared by his Master), or there could be
chains attached as to keep the slave close by. Sometimes you will just
see this 
cute guy ever so close to his Master. Following him around like a wet
puppy dog. Doing as commanded when commanded.
Anyone can buy and wear Leather but it takes attitude to be LEATHER.
NEVER wear a hankie you can't back up. I've seen too many instances of
gang rape because someone wore something they could not back up.
Hankies aren't the only code. There is the key code. Where you wear
your keys. Left or right side. There are armband codes. Left or right
side. Wear the proper accessories. (Example: chains, belts, boots,
hats, sunglasses, harness, and vest, cod piece, suspenders, etc.). 
Whatever you do. Don't spend all day in front of that damn mirror
looking at yourself for hours.
O.K. That was a quickie in Leather 101. Hope that was enough bi-grrl.
(From here on, it gets graphic. If this offends you, than please skip
this column.)

Last week I talked about one of the bars I frequented in California.
Now I'll talk about a camping trip and what a trip it was. I've been
camping before so I was no Virgin to the forest. Hell I was even a Boy
Scout so going camping was fun. It gets you back to nature in more
ways than one.
We arrived at the campsite about 1pm on a Friday. I was still in the
Navy, so that morning I went to sick call with a whole bunch of
ailments (damn, I studied them for 6 years, you would think I'd know
them by then.). The doctor believed everything I wrote down that was
ailing me. I even took my own temperature and added 3 degrees. Doctor
signed the papers for me to be SIQ (sick in quarters) for 3 days. Well
I lived off base so I got to go home and be sick. I was so sick; I had
to pack my bags and drive up to Los Angeles to go to the woods so I
could breathe clean air. Right. L.A. and clean air. What a joke. As I
said, we arrived at the Campsite about 1pm and everyone was busy
pitching tents, gathering firewood, making some interesting things
like Slings and stretchers. I kinda looked over at my friend Steve and
his Master. Steve just grinned. Couldn't understand why until that
night. I was a guest at this camping trip. The guest of Steve's
Master. I was assigned to their tent but was invited to any tent I
wanted to go to. Steve's Master told 
me to check with him 1st before I commit to anyone else's tent. I told
him I would. I didn't want to cause any friction since I was only a
guest. Well nightfall finally arrived. The campfire lit. Should have
been called a bonfire. It was big and lit the area pretty good.
I was sitting on some logs around this big ol fire. Someone sat next
to me and offered me a beer. I took it of course. He told me where the
beer was and told me I could go get it myself or command his BOY to go
get it. Told him thank you but I would get it myself in the future. We
chatted a bit. He knew I was new and asked who was sponsoring me. I
didn't have the foggiest idea to what that question meant so I told
him that I was a guest of Steve and his Master. Well, things kinda got

loud from there for a bit. This guy was a little bit pissed that a
guest was at a Leather Motorcycle Club initiation. I had no idea that
this was an initiation camping trip. I just thought the club went
camping once in a while. Hell I was very new to Leather. What the hell
did I know? This guy went to Masters tent (probably wondering what was
Masters name. Well I never knew it. I never asked. I never heard
anyone say his name. Out of respect, I just called him Master) and
started yelling. Master came out and wanted to know what the problem
was. Well we all 
know what the problem was. It was I. 
Anyway, Master let him yell and finally told him that he invited me to
this initiation and since he was president of the club, he said he had
the right to do so. There was no argument from there. Seemed Master
could back up his words. As it got darker it seemed the camp became
more alive. People were coming out of the woodwork. (Pardon the pun)
In various stages of dress and or undress. Master stood in front of a
stage that was built that day. He was hot looking. Mighty fine in his
formal Leather. Steve knelt beside him. He was wearing his harness,
leather shorts, and a collar with a chain that was connected to
Master. No expression on his face though. He wasn't looking up. He was
just there.
Well the ceremony continued on. Master would mention a name and ask
whom 
was sponsoring this pledge and someone in the club would rise and say
that he was sponsoring that pledge. Each pledge had to tell why he
wanted to belong to the club and what he would do for the club. Each
pledge also had to go into complete description of sexual events he
participated in and with whom. Master would ask how the pledge
performed in these sexual acts and would either get a favorable
reaction or no way.
After the ceremony was over. Everyone gathered around and drank.
Slaves 
busily attending to their Masters needs. Boys running back and forth
to the tents to make sure everyone had enough alcohol or what ever.
Master called Steve over to a rack that was made. It was an upright
rack. Master called me over and asked me to tie Steve to the rack. I
did so. Kind of got a thrill out of tying Steve up. Everyone
around the campfire was watching. I tied Steve's wrist to the rack.
Then his ankles. I couldn't resist touching Steve so I made sure I got
as much feeling as I could possible get away with. Master had one of
the boys undress Steve. They did so and there was Steve. Naked and
beautiful. I always knew why I loved being in the Navy and working
with the Marines. They may not have intelligence, but damn, they had
bodies. (We always teased Marines about intelligence. Sometimes we 
called them the Navy's Army and we would joke about how Marines had to
guard ships to make sure no one could steal them.) Couldn't cut them
down about physical fitness though. No way. Anyway. Master had a whip
and started whipping Steve. Across the chest, across his thighs and
arms. Just whipping and throwing insults at him. Then Master got some
tit clamps and put them on Steve's hard nipples. Then he started
pulling them. Steve's cock was in full erection and quite nice. Master
started putting clamps all over Steve's balls and weights. Others in
the camp were getting aroused and started on their own escapades. I
just kept
watching Master and Steve. How well Master had control of Steve. How
much Steve wanted more and more. One of the guys in the club came up
to Master with a pouch. Master smiled. He unwrapped this pouch and
there were needles there. I asked Master what he planned on doing and
he replied that Steve wanted to be pierced and now that Steve was in
the correct position, he would pierce Steve. Master took the tit
clamps off Steve. He asked me to suck on them to keep them hard until
he was ready. So I did. Wasn't going to argue. Well Master was ready.
I pulled back and Master put the needle through Steve's nipple. I said
ouch but Steve never said a word. Then Master had a ring that he
opened up and put into the needle and pulled the needle back out with
the ring in it. The ring came through and Master attached the ball to
connect the two parts of the ring. Steve was now pierced.
It was getting very late and I was getting very tired. I mean how many
times can you cum and not get tired. Master saw I was tired and asked
if I wanted to sleep. Told him I did. So he left Steve tied up and he
and I went into the tent. It bothered me at first that Steve was
outside but Master said that Steve wouldn't be left alone that several
of the members would be taking good care of him that night. By the
moaning Steve was doing, I guess he was being taken care of. Master
and I talked for awhile. He asked how I felt about this community.
Wanted to know if I would join the community. Asked if I joined the
community, who would I turn too to learn my position in the community?
Told him I loved the order, the discipline, the brother-hood, and the
sense of belonging and could not give 100% to anyone due to my job.
After all. I was married to the Navy and she is such a demanding
bitch. 
Master started touching me. Getting me aroused again. Pressing his
leather so close. I could smell his manhood. His sweat. The aroma was
hot. Didn't take long to get me excited again. This man knew how to
please men. It seemed he touched every erotic part of my body. Places
I never knew were erotic were suddenly activated. After a very hot
session of sex, Master asked if I wanted to be pierced. Told him it
looked interesting but wasn't sure. Well a few more hours of
intimidation and I was ready. I laid down with my head on his crotch.
He already had my nipples hard and before I knew it, he had both
pierced and ringed. He asked if I wanted a ring in my dick like his.
Told him go ahead. I'm in no position to be arguing. He did and yes it
hurt. I didn't scream though. I didn't even move. This man had a
needle in my dick. No way was I gonna move. He put the ring in and
that has been there ever since. 
The rest of the weekend was hiking, feeling each other, putting each
other in various positions. Parties in tents. Red hanky parties. I was
invited into one tent to participate in a red hanky party. I did it
but to tell you the truth. I myself got no sexual thrill out of it.
Maybe the guy I was doing it to got a thrill but I didn't so I never
did red hankie again.
So the weekend ended. Steve and I both pierced. I now belonged to
someone part time and would have a hell of a lot of explaining to do
if I get caught in the showers due to the piercings.
Leather is quite different. As I said earlier. Anyone can dress in
Leather. It's the attitude. Sex can and is rough. Very demanding and
sometimes humiliating but the feeling of belonging, pleasing, being
protected and having a very large family to look over you compensates
the humiliation. There is trust in the community. You just must give
your all to it.

O.K. Time for me to hit the Leather bar again and see if I can get rid
of some of this frustration I am having. Too bad we don't have a
Leather Bar here that has a chain link fence in it so I could practice
my knots.

EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT FLOGGING 
(But were afraid to ask)
(BI_GRRRL)

Hi my kinky friends. It's the Birthday Mistress here with a few tips
for your fun
filled dates.  My fondness for flogging is well known in our little
family and
occasionally I am approached for advice on the subject.  Now you know
that your Birthday Mistress has her own style so what is said here
should not be taken as the only way to flog nor should the things I am
about to say be regarded as what is accepted practice in the old/new
leather community.
This is just my way of having fun. What, fun you say? Why yes this can
be fun, extremely fun. Just you wait!

Floggers/Floggees:

Birthday Mistress can hardly give you tips for picking up tricks? uh?
I mean dates,
but a few basic rules should be kept in mind when looking for that
perfect someone. Make sure if you are just beginning that you choose
someone you can trust, a person that you do not have "issues" with.
Flogging can bring up various emotions and it's best that you are in
suitable company should this occur. On the same topic, do your best to
understand your own issues that might arise and be sure this is
something you really want to do.

A few drinks before hand to get comfortable is okay, however, it is
strongly advised
that you and your partner(s) are not drunk as you need your best
judgment at a time like this, as well as all your motor skills. The
same goes for party substances, folks use common sense. Some form of
negotiations should take place between you and your partner(s) before
hand as well. For beginners it will be a little more difficult to know
what you like and don't like at this stage so these should be loose
with the understanding that the going will be slow and experimental
with lots of "check-ins" to make sure the floggee is still having a
good time. Of course for the experienced player negotiations will be
more formal.  Always make sure both of you know what will or could
happen and what should not before beginning if you are new at this.
Safe words are recommended (a word for each person, that everyone
knows. When safe words are said, all play stops at least for a
check-in).

Floggers, How to Purchase

Okay you have a victim?I mean a sugar muffin and you have decided to
go to the local love boutique for some shopping.  Oh my!  There are so
many to choose from, what's a kinky couple to do?  The old rule that
you get what you pay for may or may not apply here.  I have seen some
expensive great floggers and some expensive poor floggers. 
Check for the quality of the leather.  Does it feel nice?  Is it thick
but soft?  These are just some of the marks of a good flogger.
Typically expect to spend USD $75.00 to $300.00 for a quality flogger.
You'll find many in the better, independent sex shops are hand crafted
and quite special. 

If you are short on funds or just want a rainy day craft project, you
can make your own. Get a large diameter dowel from the local hardware
store for a handle and then visit Tandy for some pieces of leather and
tools to cut the strips for your flogger.  Cut out a rectangle that
could wrap around the dowel a few times, and hang down about 2 feet or
so.  Cut .5 inch wide strips all the way up leaving about 3 inches of
the leather joined at the top.  Wrap around dowel and secure with
small nails, then wrap another piece of leather around the whole thing
and secure with upholstery tacks.  It's a good idea to have at least
two floggers of various weights, a light weight one for warming up and
a heavier weighted one for the "thud" effect.

Flogging

Practice on two pillows stacked up on the bed.  Get a feel for the way
the flogger lands until you feel comfortable.  Wrap arounds should be
avoided.  These are individual strands of the flogger that fly out of
control, wrapping around the butt or back to the face, chest, etc.
Stand with your feet firmly on the floor, one foot about three feet in
front of the other.  Start to swing towards the pillows, practicing
your aim.  One method that works for me  is to swing with one hand and
guide the strands at the end with the other, letting go moments before
hitting the target.
Start off with the light weight flogger, alternating with hard and
light swings over various parts of the back and butt.  One or two
places can get sore very quickly so vary the location of the target.
After a few minutes of flogging, I like to go to the floggee and
lightly stroke the target areas with my hand, checking in to see if I
need to be harder or lighter for their enjoyment.  After that, it's
pretty much up to you and your partner(s) how it continues.  You can
alternate flogging with feathers, riding crops, paddles, or any other
thing that you happen to have around the house.  Be creative and most
of all have fun, laugh and love. Unless you are into a really heavy
scene, which is beyond the scope of your Birthday Mistress. *Wink*

Pink Love,
Birthday Mistress aka bi_grrrl

Hola Freddie and Alli!
First, keep it up fellas (the paper that is!)! You are doing fabulous,
and I look forward to reading my paper each week (actually, I am just
seeing how many times my name is mentioned...I do so love attention!).

Now here we go....
The most of you know me as jansgirl. That has been my name since the
first day I stepped (or stumbled) into the Pink Tri. The original
purpose of my name was to adore and worship the fact that I was
Jan'sgirl, my then girlfriend being Janet, which in the Tri is known
as lilbutch_. But alas, after struggling along for 10 months, she
decided to mind fuck me as always and we are no longer together. So,
what was I to do? Everyone knows me in the room as jansgirl, jans for
short, and I didn't want to change my name. But I also didn't want to
go through the mental anguish of having to remember I was really no
longer Jan's girl. That is where a very special person stepped in. I
was lamenting this fact to Janish in IM one day, and he said "You
don't have to change your name", which I went on to tell him I had no
choice really. To this, this sweet guy told me "I am also Jan, and you
are my girl, so you don't have to change your name at all". This made
me feel so good, that one of my PT brothers, one that I clashed with
at first, would come to my rescue and save my name from extinction.
So, there you have it folks. I am Janish's
girl, therefore you have me.
jansgirl.

PrimeBear

Where did I get the name PrimeBear. Well believe it or not I'm known
as Bear everywhere, including work. The only time I know my real name
is payday when I see my check. My 1st wife (mother of my two young
adults) gave me the name Bear. It wasn't because I was hairy. I was a
late bloomer in that department. I was in my teens and had very little
hair. She gave me the name Bear because I was a BEAR in the morning if
I didn't have a pot of coffee before work. After I came out, Bear was
given to me again because I am hairy and I love to cuddle. Tried
signing 
in as Bear and someone else already had it. (THE BITCH). So I tried
everything connected to Bear and just couldn't have any of them, they
were all taken (THE BITCHES). So I thought to myself that I am in the
PRIME of my life so I tried PrimeBear. They let me have it. So
PrimeBear was born and it seems to fit well.

FARIYMOON

A long time ago in a far away land a little girl baby was born. Her
parents searched and searched for a name for this little pixie.
Finally they chose a name for this little gift; She will spend her
life as Fay.Years later as the child became a woman she went to a
wonderful land called Virtual World.
There Fay soon discovered that she would need to use a new name to
keep the baddies in Virtual World from finding her when she returned
to Real Life.
She searched and searched, finally she decided that she liked her name
but would use the meaning instead of the name its self. So Fairy was
born but alas that wasn't enough it was too short. She needed
something that said something about her as a person. Over the years
she also searched for a religion that fit her as well as the name she
had chosen for herself. Paganism and the worship of Luna the moon
goddess was to become the religion of her choice. That's it she will
use moon in her name to show her faith. So Fairymoon was born and she
was to spend many wonderful hours in Virtual Word with all her new
friends who they themselves had gone through the same search she had.
They all lived happily ever after. THE END

It is important to me to thank the room for all your help in helping
me to replenish my gesture file and av file. To thank each and
everyone individually would take a zillion pages...it is really nice
to see people helping me who I have helped in the past almost a year
and those who don t remember or know me. As some of you know I was
involved in a fight with a basher in late August. The next thing I
knew my puter was virused somehow with the deadly result of losing
even my W95 o/s which resulted in 2 expensive trips to the puter
doctor. The whole hard drive had to be cleared resulting in a
reloading of W95. The hassle of reloading the hardware was unreal.
Then I couldn't get chat to unload so I re-registered using the ALMOST
same name (note the CAPS XV). It'll take some time yet to get all the
old gestures etc. back so please bear with me when I ask for a gesture
that rings a bell etc. Anyway, I again thank everyone and if I can
help anyone in the future just ask.

Love and Kisses,
VIKING

Hello PTPeoples...
It is I, jansgirl, and after taking an extensive vacation from my
office (actually, my Dad took my puter), I have returned and started
up my practice again. In one of the past issues of the News, I had a
column where you, the readers, would send me medically based
questions, and I would do my best to answer them. So I have submitted
this to Ali and Freddie for their, and your, approval. If you would
like to send me a question, it may be addressed to:
[email protected] or send it along to Freddie or Ali at:
[email protected] and they can forward it to me.
If I don't receive any questions, I will try to compose a short column
about health care concerns that would target all of us as a whole. 
So there you have it ladies and gents! Feel free to ask me
anything...you may do so anonymously if you want to...but I must say
that my advice is only that, advice, and if you feel uncomfortable
with any suggestions I give you, please consult your private health
care physician. I am only a Registered Nurse and can only do so much!

Till I hear from you....

DEMON (3)
(Diva of Deceit)

Marie Wintergreen, a legal secretary, has encountered a mysterious
woman
calling herself 'Jeanne'. Her identity is otherwise unknown. Nor is it
clear whether or not this Jeanne is a normal human being, or something
supernatural. Human or otherwise she is clearly a master spirit, the
embodiment of will and dominion. After events, which might be no more
than the products of a delusional mind, Marie is currently being
introduced to the delights of submission� Marie clearly wanted to
question her again. Jeanne rested one long finger against Marie's lips
and said, "This once I will forgive you. Do not question me again. All
that is proper for you to know I have told you. Now�be still."
"Place your hands behind your back, your wrists crossed." Jeanne's
face and
tone of voice were unchanged yet Marie obeyed without thought of demur
or
question. There was in eagerness in her to obey that reduced the
ordinary
everyday Marie to a state of shocked horror, of outrage. But that
voice, that Marie, grew weaker by the moment. "Draw your legs up,
behind and beneath you." Marie's position rapidly became acutely
uncomfortable. Under usual circumstances she was a complete baby about
pain. A stubbed toe could reduce her to tears. But this was different.
She bore this pain at another's will and to satisfy that will was her
all-in-all, her treasure, and her joy. These thoughts flitted through
her mind as that other Marie, for so long silent and asleep, expanded
and stretched, even as her flesh bowed and arched, contracted and
exposed itself, obedient to the lash of
Jeanne's will.
As in her vision, Jeanne's hair lay against her breast, coiled between
her
widely spread thighs, lightly brushing her pussy. Its touch made her
tremble uncontrollably. She moaned softly and repeatedly. Jeanne took
her by the throat and began to squeeze. Terror seized her for a moment
and the temptation to struggle was almost intolerable. But there was
no malice in Jeanne's eyes, no madness. Only implacable will.
Struggling within herself Marie forced herself not only to remain
still but also to be silent. The pressure at her throat remained
there, for a moment grew worse, so that huge black blossoms flowered
across her vision. Then it left, she could breathe again. Soft
laughter and a tender kiss on the mouth rewarded her. Gasping, she
drew in Jeanne's breath with her own, sweet and warm. The pain at her
throat remained, a sweet presence and a powerful reminder, while her
vision cleared.
As in her vision, Jeanne stared down into Marie's eyes. Her gaze held
her still as stone. "You will not take your eyes from mine. You will
make no sound. You will not move." Each command was a blow and a
caress. The tip of Jeanne's thumb found Marie's clit and began to
circle it, the pressure light at first but increasing steadily. Marie
clenched her jaws against the sounds that she wanted to make, her
enforced silence increasing the pleasure she felt. She felt herself
become slick, her flesh tremble despite her will. But she refused to
obey the instinctive desire to match Jeanne's movements with her own,
to thrust against her touch, and again she was
rewarded with a kiss, long and lingering. Jeanne's tongue forced
itself between her lips.
Unable to restrain herself, Marie met Jeanne's tongue with her own.
Jeanne
bit her at once, hard enough to draw blood. The pain was both terrible
and
exquisite, so that Marie became light-headed, giddy, floating on a
cloud of
hot copper, her mind bathed in intense light. Jeanne's mouth withdrew,
sinking to her breast. She took Marie's nipple between her teeth and
began
to abrade it. Her teeth were sharp. In no time at all Marie could feel
blood flowing freely. Jeanne sucked greedily, drinking from her. At
the same time Marie could feel Jeanne's hand sliding deeper into,
bunching into a fist, beginning to thrust with exquisite slowness.
Marie was both agonised and exultant, one sensation feeding the other.
She was desperate to cry out, to move, to match each thrust with her
own. The mouth that drained her blood drew ferociously, the mouth of a
greedy animal. She wanted only to arch into it, to be consumed by it.
And at the same time she wanted only to obey, to be held in this
position forever, shackled to a
will both beautiful and terrible.
At the last moment, just before orgasm would have overwhelmed her,
Jeanne
withdrew both her hand and her mouth. She looked into Marie's eyes,
which
were full of longing. From her mouth to her breasts she was slicked in
blood. There was a moment of silence that stretched and stretched
while
Marie shuddered and quivered beneath the lash of her gaze. Then she
smiled
through the blood that covered her mouth and whispered, "Now�" Marie
arched
like a bow, the orgasm seizing and shaking her like some great beast.
Now
she no longer had to fight to keep silence. Every muscle was locked,
her entire being held fast by the power that savaged her. Nothing
existed for her but its delicious agony, even Jeanne being obliterated
from her consciousness.
When she could see and think once more Marie found Jeanne sat
cross-legged
at the end of the bed, her pooled around her. Her flesh was flawless
and unstained, no trace of blood remaining. Without uncrossing her
legs she lifted herself and hopped forward, grotesquely, like a frog,
until she was within arms reach of Marie. Jeanne's gaze ran across her
like icy waters. In little more than a whisper she said, "Who am I?"
"You are Jeanne�"
One long arm reached out and a stone hard hand struck her across the
face.
"Who am I?"

PET CORNER
(Fairymoon)

Hi fellow PTers and pet lovers. Time for another pet corner. Since
winter is fast approaching I thought I would talk about winterizing
your pets and their homes. 
One way pets protect themselves from the cold is by an extra layer of
fat under their skin. Girls, wouldn't it be nice if we could use that
excuse for gaining a few pounds? One way to help them is by buying
them a good quality food with high calorie content and lots of
protein. If you have a dog that you normally clip its hair try not to
get it too short in the winter months. Ok guys, there is your excuse
for long hair. If you have birds it might be a good idea to find a
place to put them that is away from windows and drafts.  
Outdoor pets need a little extra attention during the winter months.
If possible buy them an insulated doghouse or insulate the one they
have. If that can't be done put clean straw or a clean blanket inside
the dog house for them. Keep a close eye on the water dish in freezing
weather break any ice that forms.
If you have a dog that you walk check the pads of their feet after
walks. Put boots or Vaseline on their feet before walks to protect
them from ice. Wash their paws off after walks to remove salt that
might irritate their skin. Put sweaters on short-haired or older dogs.
Don't forget to play with your pets in the winter they can get bored
too from being inside so much.
Most dogs love to play in the snow and they can be so funny to watch
the first time the are out in it. Ok PTer's, that's that for this
week. Till next week keep them pussies warm. Knock it off you dirty
minded pigs!

Your pet know it all,
Fairymoon

MAGIC CARPET RIDE
(ALLADDINN)

The rain gently poured outside the window that night as I lay there
with Tony by my side thinking of how my life had taken a dramaticle
change throughout the last few weeks. Never in my wildest dreams did I
ever think that I could have strong feelings for another man, let
alone have the sexual encounters Tony and I have shared!
He has opened up a whole new world for me that I had only fantasized
about in the past, yet seemingly afraid to explore until now. He has
all the qualities I have ever looked for in a mate. He is not afraid
to try new things. He doesn't try to hide his tenderness or emotions,
however he is not obvious about his attraction toward the same sex.
Somehow I feel as though we were drawn together by some strange force
that knows our destiny, as strange as that may sound, I believe that
it does exist. Up until now, I have gone from one ill-fated
relationship after another, with my share of one-night stands with
several different women. Somehow, what I am experiencing with Tony is
an altogether different feeling than in past relationships. Not only
is the sex spectacular and spontaneous, but the emotions are real. I
think I could easily fall in love with this man! Wow! I never dreamed
that I would ever fall in love with someone of the same sex, nor did I
think I could ever experience the satisfaction and complete total
sexual fulfillment that I do with Tony! 
It is raining harder now, and with the flash of lightning coming
through the windows, lighting the entire room, I gaze at Tony as he
sleeps. Here lies this spectacle of a man that has unknowingly
captured feelings I didn't even know existed within me! Have I gone
crazy? Or am I falling in love? Is it actually possible to fall
completely in love with someone of the same sex and live a fulfilled
life together as a couple? I am not quite sure of the answers to these
questions, but as I look at Tony, thinking of his warm smile, his
tender lips, as well as his gentle touch I get all warm inside. This
is not about living out sexual fantasies any longer; these are true
feelings of tenderness and sincere caring about another person and
their happiness as well. I know for a fact that in the past month
since Tony moved in with me, he has made me feel alive with emotions I
have never in my life felt for another person, not even when I was
married! 
I couldn't seem to fall asleep, either due to the rain and lightning,
or because of the multitude of thoughts going through my mind. Where
is my life headed? The car lot is picking up more sales every month.
It seems I am finally getting back on my feet financially since the
divorce. I know Tony and I have talked about taking things one day at
a time to see where it leads us, but does he feel the same as I, or am
I just a "fling" to him? I decided since I couldn't sleep, I'd go to
the kitchen and make some coffee and think things through, so as to
talk it all over with Tony in the morning.
I had no more than sat down to take a sip of my coffee when Tony came
into the kitchen to see why I was up. "Did the thunder storm wake you
up?" he asked. I said "No not really, I couldn't sleep, I have got a
lot going through my mind." He got a coffee cup and sat down at the
table beside me and asked: "Is it something you want to talk
about�does it have anything to do about you and I?" That opened the
door for me to begin to express how I felt about him, and about us.   
____________________
Do think Tony has the same feelings toward Drake? How do you think
Tony will respond to what he is about to hear from Drake? I suppose we
will all just have to wait until next week to find out what happens
next in the never-ending drama of "The Magic Carpet Ride!"

Until next week's ride on the magic carpet my friends,
May all your romances all be happy ones!

"George Washington, did YOU chop down the cherry tree?"
"No, Dad."
"You're not lying, are you?"
"No, no, no! I swear on this Bible that I did NOT chop down the cherry
tree."
"Son, the servants saw you out here with your ax. Your punishment will
be much worse for you if you lie. Now, tell me the truth or I won't
let you go to Easter Sunday church with your friend Monica!"
"OK, Dad, if you put it that way. I did answer your question
truthfully. Still, I must take complete responsibility for all my
actions. While my answer was legally accurate, I did not volunteer
information.
"Indeed, Dad, I did cause the cherry tree to be lying on the ground.
To do this was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and
a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely
responsible. I know my answer to you gave a false impression. I misled
you, my own father. I deeply regret that.
"I can only tell you I was motivated by many factors. First, by a
desire to protect myself from the embarrassment of my own conduct. I
was also very concerned about protecting Mom from this shock. What I
did, Dad, was use a saw to cause the cherry tree to fall. Only after
the tree was already down did I go get my ax to chop off individual
branches. So, I chopped off branches, but sawed down the tree. Look at
the saw cut on the stump and the ax cuts on the branches. Therefore,
legally, I told the truth.
"I am disturbed, however, that a father would go to the trouble and
expense to have family servants pry into the playtime activities of
his son while in the sanctity of a boy's own back yard. Anyone would
be offended by this prying into their actions. Even future presidents
have private lives. "However, I would ask you to turn away from the
spectacle of this fallen tree which is a private matter between me and
the birds that lived in the tree and to return our attention to
strengthening and repair of our now damaged, but still solid family
relationship."
