		<description>Choire!  If there&#039;s anything at all I&#039;ve learned about Balk over the years, it&#039;s that his assistance will likely prove &lt;i&gt;invaluable&lt;/i&gt; during the formulation of Kanine Kools, or whatever you&#039;re calling your utterly brilliant &amp; much needed dog cigarettes.</description>

		<description>As a straight male with military experience, I would add that in my experience there is a long tradition of gays in the military.  Whole decks of US Navy aircraft carriers are 100% gay.  Military intelligence and linguistics often have secret gay cliques.  These are all open secrets that no one acknowledges openly.  One of my bunkmates was a single man in his mid-thirties.  Loved Philip Glass and opera.  Kept a collection of fancy pillows on his bed.  Had zero interest in men.</description>

		<description>As long as these chumps are living right up to (down to?) expectations, what else is there to document? Until Pew does a comprehensive study on &quot;How many Americans have two robust brainwaves to rub together,&quot; then I guess the Times can keep pitching midseason replacements for Logo or whatever.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s the difference between a straight Puerto Rican and a gay Puerto Rican? About 5 beers.

Haha, and no, I don&#039;t know why the joke singles out Puerto Ricans and I am sort of offended by it as well.</description>

		<description>I just had to go to Boston with a straight client, for a week straight. We totes bonded. We even bought underwear together at Kohl&#039;s when we ran out. Then I shivved that fucker because he wouldn&#039;t model his for me, after I spent an hour picking them out.</description>

		<description>Ha! This is great, and the two of you are like a proto-Odd Couple for the 21st century.

I&#039;m glad the gay male-straight male friendship thing is being talked about, even though most magazine writers seem to feel the need to seize on the most asinine, cartoonish points. At least it&#039;s being talked about.</description>

		<description>Is this where we share our boring intersexual friendship stories? I LIVED WITH A GAY FOR 2 YEARS AND WE EVEN WENT &quot;BACKPACKING&quot; TOGETHER AND I DIDN&#039;T CATCH GAY OR AIDS OR ANYTHING.  MOSTLY WE TALKED ABOUT WEED AND WHAT AN IDIOT EVERYONE IS, LESS FASHION AND LADIES.</description>
