I'll just have the rainbow sprinkles

A few fun tidbits today.

In what appears to be the Dutch equivalent to Kids Say the Darndest Things some young tots are asked about same sex relationships. The idea didn't faze them a bit! That is until the host asked them how two men make a baby. So why are we so concerned about protecting kids? They know more than we give them credit for -- and are less judgmental about it. The video is less than 2 minutes and there are English subtitles.



Doug Quint is a bassoonist in an orchestra and has come up with a summer job for when his main job is on hiatus. He's the proud owner and operator of the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. You can get your cone topped with such delights as ground wasabi peas, caramelized bacon, Trix cereal, Nutella, -- or just ordinary rainbow sprinkles.



As with most gays I have a working gaydar -- a sense that a guy (or couple) is gay. I don't know how accurately it is calibrated because I don't go up to them and ask. Now it seems a lot of gaydars need recalibration because gay men are tending to look more butch and straight men less so. And since many younger straight men don't mind being mistaken for gay the need for gaydar -- which kept many a gay boy from being beaten up when the question was asked -- isn't as necessary.
