A new direction......but not before I have some fun

Dear readers, in my daily commute of travels I was thinking hey this blog may not be deep enough.  So along with the ideas and the observations of the interactions of men and women I do believe its time to take a new direction. WAIT NO SO SOON; yes I know that is what you are thinking but why do something that you can do with anyone instead of share something you think all deserve.  

Now wait before I take this better (in some opinion) direction I must take on a statement that left me a bit perplexed given the context and the situation.  This is a bit of a disclaimer that this could be offensive to those who are super sensitive or extremely PC aside from that you will enjoy the rest of this.  The setup for the comment goes as follows; A group of individuals, 4 women and 2 men, were having a conversation about the movie TAKERS.  One of the women began to tell the rest of group about the movie and how there was plenty of eye candy for women of all races.  One of the guys says "that is wrong, how is it that you don't acknowledge that gay men would also enjoy looking at the characters as well".  Yes this man was serious, I do not have an issues with people who are gay/lesbian/bi-sexual or whatever the choice maybe but lets go through this situation in bullet point form.
  •   The man that made this statement was a straight man, married actually
  •    There were no gay males involved in the conversation 
  •    The male that made this statement was very serious about what he said 
For anyone reading this I hope that you too can find the humor in this post because myself and a few others will.  Why would this man make such a statement for a population that was not present in a conversation that was not a political or life changing topic.  I understand that as a society specific lifestyles/cultures are left out of conversation but it works visa-versa; trust me if this was a conversation was had amongst more men than women and it was the woman that made this statement she too would be laughed at here.  The opinion at this point is that people can be overly sensitive about topics or in situations that really do not deserve the attention because there are plenty of other meaningful issues in the world that you sir and madam can focus your attention.
