Boxes

For so long I've thought of myself as a gay man who happens to love a woman.  I thought, when I fell in love with my guy all those years ago, that, ergo, I was gay.  That's how it was: there were gays and there were straights and since I'd fallen in love with a man, and had sex with men, I had to go in the gay box.  But over the last few years I've realised that I am attracted to women as well as to men.  I'm not even sure any more whether I'm primarily attracted to men or to women.  I'm attracted to individuals.  To people.  And their gender isn't really relevant any more.

Of course society is still stuck with boxes: the gay box; the straight box; and even, dare we say it; the bisexual box.  But it's stupid.  These labels don't matter.

Blogger has a bizarre bug

Or should that be Bogger has a bizarre blug? (Only a Brit will get that pun)

If you transfer the contents of your blog to a new blog, the posts counter stops working.  Or maybe it's to do with LinkWithin.  Who knows?  But Google is so busy with Google+ they have has no time to fix minor glitches in Blooger.

Anyway, I've renamed my old blog to Gay-Shaded.  So now I have 5 blogs to manage.  This will remain the main one, though.

By the way, do any of you out there have a Google+ account?
