The Picture Of Dorian Grey

Forever Young

Forever young, I want to be forever young. Remember that song? Well, the song or not, is the dream of almost everyone, as they strive to maintain what has finally slip away - their youth. Ah youth, the flower that we hope never fades, this excitement, this joy, this daring, devil-may attitude towards life-guard, passing the flame that flickers, but for a while and then fades. But until then, the youth is to be loved, and George Bernard Shaw said, "The joys of youth is wasted on the young." Oh yes, if we knew what we know now, we would be much better off. Or would we? Perhaps it's having to go through all the pitfalls, trials and tribulations of youth that makes us who we are when we mature... if we mature. How boring our lives would be if we did all the right things and never made any mistakes at all, mistakes that our parents made. What would be our lives if we carefully followed all the advice of our parents and guardians and did not stumble, fall, cut ourselves, love the wrong person, or take the wrong job? Youth is to be experienced and lived to the fullest.But there is another side to the youth for some people refuse to leave their youth behind, refusing to grow old, to refuse to let go of the irresponsibility of youth, and cling to it with the despair of a politician. Many even go back in time to literally embrace the youth, as we will see just after the letters responding to Gay Times.

Robinson,

Why do we continue to reduce the sexuality of people in sexual acts? A gay man who has never had sex is a gay man, however. A gay man who has not had sex in a year is always a gay man. This logic is only confusing for those who understand sexuality to be the default for everyone and homosexuality a deviation from that "natural" inclination that is rooted in all of us. This is a myth. I have a lot of female heterosexual friends who tell me that they've had anal sex. No straight man in Jamaica walks around and admits to that, but clearly the women aren't doing it to themselves. As oral sex was a few years ago, anal sex is only largely taboo in the public domain. An entirely different conversation is happening behind closed doors. But as usual, the hypocrisy of Jamaican people will prevent them admitting so.

Tony,

What is the sexual orientation of someone having to do with their involvement in crime? Unless you are a rapist, I really do not think it's important. If the deductions were made on similar tall men, short men, or men with a lisp, a rational person would hope to emphasize that these conclusions are not relevant. Homosexuals are not sitting in a corner of bitching about things, I'm sure that you have acknowledged that some of the brightest minds in this country are gays and lobbyists, as you call them. There is no 'straight lobby' because the rights of straight people have never been questioned. Of individuals yes, but not the entire community of heterosexuals.
