Moreover, if a man sleeps with 12 different people in one month, and no one else for the rest of the year, is he also considered a slut? And lastly, am I a slut? Thanks. — Slut Worries Dear Slut Worries, To the first man I would say, “What the hell are you doing for the rest of the month. Living off blow-up dolls and Ben And Jerry’s ice cream?” And to the second man who is spend ing 11 months on his knees praying for for giveness, I would say, “Honey! Get off your knees, pull your face out of your hands and start enjoying your biological urges and healthy ap petite. One night stands are acts of survival and pleasure irreligious persecution and emotional bondage! Feeling like a slut means not respecting your sexual instincts or carnal desires. It also means not respecting your mate. Thus, in order to rise from the bowels of Slutdom to the garden of Healthy Abundance then first, respect your in stincts. They are real! And secondly, respect your partners. They are real as well! And in that magic moment of revelation, you will no longer feel like a slut but rather a healthy, sexual being, dinning out at a plentiful buffet, not obsessing over your last supper. Oh yes! Even though you may not be a slut, you may be... a hypochondriac. —Trinity Dearest Trinity, I rented out my spare room to this great girl. We then started spending a lot of time together. Now it’s time for her girlfriend to move in and I think I am falling in love. I don’t want to loose her or the rent money. Did 1 screw up? — Renter’s Love Dear Renter’s Love, Yes you did! And how! Now honey, I assume you knew about the girlfriend and I assume you spent the rent money already. The act of love? Doesn’t it just enrapture you in the smell of roses then prick you in the butt with it’s thorns. It’s time to channel Joan of Arc and/or Melissa Ethridge. Joan would say, “March boldly forward. There’s work to be done!” and Melissa would write 'a very strong love song which goes like this, “Move on! Get over it! And find another girl. No two ways about it!” Now, about face. Forward, march. 0laad notes by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Into the closet for Gay TV Hey Trinity, Tm about to start breeding Jack Russell terriers. Any tips? '■ Yours. — First Time Breeder Hey First Time Breeder, Now breeding? That’s something I haven’t thought about in a while. And when I do think about breeding, I think more about maternity dresses and child support than I do about dogs named Jack. Sorry, honey! But I know as much about breeding dogs as I do about parading frogs, dancing in clogs or driving through fogs! Call a vet or try a bookstore. Good luck. — Trinity Dear Trinity, The other day, this oh-so-gorgeousguy started flirt ing with me. Butfor some reason I got a sense that he wasn’t single. How do you know if someone who is flirting with you is married or partnered off? — Flirting Woes Dear Flirting Woes, I’m afraid to say that I know exactly what you went through.

Lastly, Married & Single du Jour — If he says (my favorite), “I’m married but we re not sleeping together!” Gay TV, an all-gay television channel based in Palm Springs, Calif., recently changed its name to Triangle Television Network and deleted all references to the words “lesbian,” gay, bi sexual” and “transgender” from advertising sub mitted to GLBT publications.

Although Triangle Television Network’s Web page does make reference to its audience being the GLBT community, GLAAD is concerned that a media company wanting to market to the GLBT community has, in fact, removed all references to our community in its advertising. In addition, by changing its marketing mantra from “the first and only Gay TV Channel” to “the first Television Channel for America’s Al ternative Lifestyles,” Triangle Television Net work wrongly reinforces the stereotype of a “gay lifestyle.” GLAAD encourages those concerned to con tact Triangle Television Network and the Dish Network.
