I should rephrase. The way I heard it the story was by 16 and 17 year old boys in hs;
had nothing to do with gay men;
and had nothing to do with placing a gerbil inside your body.

Edited to say:

I'm sorry. I was trying to state that I dont know this story/rumour/misrepresentaion that you are fired up about.
I have never heard of it until today.

I am not trying to make light of your anger, I was trying to say that some of us really had never heard it.

I had heard about gerbils, in HS from boys, but in a whole otehr context.

I was not trying to insult you, or anyone else. Nor was I attemtping to state that gay men are monsters.

I need to apolgize profusely for the fact that i made you think that I was.

I know, I annoy many on this board when I try to smooth over soemthing I said, but I've just been stressing myself out over how upset I made you.
