All I can say is thank God you don't have 10 cents in your purse! 

The purpose of this list is to critique a site on the basis of how it looks
and whether the content is plentiful.  What that "plentiful" consists of,
is none of your business and if you have a problem with your kids seeing
this site, then I strongly suggest that you have a long talk with them and
explain the meaning of the words "tolerance" and "acceptance". Hide reality
from them, and they'll go looking for it...introduce them to it and they
will learn to deal with *life*.

No, I am not gay but I have enormous admiration for *anyone* that has the
intestinal fortitude to stand up and be who they are! 

Sheesh! 

Brian, I would suggest that having your name in front of all the links is a
bit repetitive and I agree that just the link description would be better.

As has already been said...I don't like being told that I can only view a
site using a particular browser and if it were a commercial site, I
wouldn't stick around. Even if it's a personal site, I would like to think
that you will get visitors and it would be nice to make them welcome.

I tend to agree with pretty much everything that Lynnsey said and I'm sorry
that you were subjected to a public haranguing...but you're probably used
to it.
