While getting dressed in the lockerroom at a local Chelsea gym, I heard some gentleman, we'll call him Bill, ask another gentleman, we'll call him Jeb, if he was headed to dinner. Jeb replied, "Oh, it's after 9:00pm. I probably won't eat." Bill then asked Jeb if he was kidding. Jeb replied, "But, isn't it bad to eat after 8:00pm?" Bill replied, and much to his credit, "So you think it is better to starve your body than nourish it?"

Yes, my friends. This is the mentality of a lot of young gay men. These are my bretheren. Forget the fact that we are fighting for gay marriage and equal rights. Carbohydrates and nourishment are the real enemy. We don't need health benefits for domestic partners. What we need are 8-pack abs for the night of dancing at the Roxy.

When did eating become such a vice? Or an option? Eating is something we need to do to survive. Yes, kids. We need to eat or we will die. Just remember that we need to eat and not gorge ourselves. Later.  ¶ 9:23 AM
