I don't have a problem with that eating-event. I don't have a problem with suicide and I feel this is just a form of it.

LOL. I understood your point. I just wanted to point out that even if you *hadn't* had any homosexual relationship (and even if you had had one but didn't enjoy it), it still would be wrong to condemn gay people just as it is wrong for me to condemn people who have a different lifestyle from mine (and believe, I'm very much at a loss to understand what people find nice in straight relationships ;) ). Take it as a margin note ;)) . Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
