I like this trend; I agree with the poster that it is becoming "cool" and "in" to have gay friends, to appear "open-minded" It's definately "new school."
I think a lot of younger people are a lot more open sexually than the previous generation. I'm sure that sort of observation has been made for 1000s of years, but last night I went to a club that was jam-packed with bodies. Its was cold enough outside for several layers and oppressively hot inside, hot enough to make one dizzy, all from the press of bodies. You couldn't walk from one end of the room to the other without grinding your pelvis into any number of complete strangers. The music was so loud conversation was impossible without a wet willie sort of intimacy, and everyone was swaying and grinding to the music. There was a LOT of simulated copulation and frottage going on, a lot of it I'm sure between people who were otherwise strangers. It was, in general, a very highly sexually charged atmosphere. This wasn't a gay bar...and it was about 100 times hornier. So many very young people were so very very drunk that it made me worry, particularly about the girls (I know, how chauvinistic is that?) and I couldn't help but to think that these kids are SOO unprepared for the full ramifications and possible emotional consequences of this sort of abandon and licentiousness. (particularly rape or deaths caused by drunk driving) I was shocked. I had a good time.
To those who post statements to the effect of, "How come I don't have those kinds of friends?" I have to ask how you would behave if you did? I think so many of us have been so highly sexualized by our culture that it confounds intimacy and casual sexiness. How many of us would be tempted to see how far we could "push" something like that to fulfill our own misguided yearnings for affection and intimacy?
