I have an aversion to this holiday. No offence to anyone out there but it gets tiring that the holiday is marketed very Hetero. Don't misunderstand, I do not wear a rainbow flag and demand that everyone out there accepts my orientation or that I get to sit in the front of the bus too. I don't really like confrontation and don't see the need to shove anything into anyone's face. And the facts are facts. Heterosexuals outnumber homosexuals and frankly that's the way it ought to be for population considerations and is not something I have an issue with. Just imagine, though, that those Kay's Jewlery commericials or Hershey's commercials showed a pair of men sharing the holiday sentiment together or two women. I think the outrage from most of the public would be heard for miles, it certainly would be provocative. Sure, some companies will make gay oriented ads in gay magazines but they wouldn't dare put them in mainstream ones. It just would be nice to see a Valentine's Day commercial and feel as if I could relate. Maybe they should make BDSM oriented commercials too while they're at it. Wouldn't it be fun to see a commercial with the man in bondage on his knees to his female dominant with him holding out a box of chocolates in his mouth, she whips him so he yelps and drops it into her hand with this malicious yet oh so seductive grin on her lips? Or something similar with whatever your imagination comes up with. I just picture a lot of Vanillas sitting on their couches with their mouths draped open, maybe some jumping off the couch yelling "SIN! SIN!" All in all, I celebrate my love with my Master every chance I get and even though I don't particularly have great feelings about this holiday I do not go out of my way to bring those who do enjoy it down. It's not my place and I've known too many who do it just to be spiteful bastards. Not my thing. This year we'll be apart again, I might go shopping and find something nice to send up to his dorm so that he knows I'm thinking of him but otherwise it will pass me by with only mild irritation. -Brian.
