Why gay marriage is an ASSet

California is having a hard time coming up with a viable plan for gays to unionize. At first, gay marriage was approved, now its suddenly been banned by rightous groups that want to keep marriage between man and a woman only. There is a surmountable room for debate on this subject, and here's my opinion.
Gays are going to have sex with or without the rightous groups permission, and it is to the advantage of civilization and yes, civil liberties, to rethink the status of marriage. To look back at ancient times and previous eras for support on this, is to turn your back on the future. Creating an environment against gays does not extinguish the fact that they exist, and they will keep doing "it" with or without big brother, and they will probably continue to create the hazardous conditions that created AIDs, by living the life of many partners. Since there is no future for gays to get married in some regions, does not make being a homosexual illegal, it just means they had better do "it" behind everybody's back, and NOT talk about it openly.
For some reason, heterosexual living feels intimidated by allowing some groups the same rights as theirs. The main concern here is of course, families and not having them. But who knows what gay people are able to accomplish if they are never given the chance to prove America wrong. I will bet you anything, if gay marriage was unionized worldwide, the chances of us working together would overcome the anxieties of trying to fight among ourselves. It just so happens, that gay people are extremely family orientated, and are open to doors of adoption and serogate offsprings. In the meantime, straights have completely exiled gays back into the leather bars with denying them a chance for a reasonable lifestyle. They have no alternative but to cruise, lust, and live the life they are condemned to live.
Of course there's the rightous groups who insist if they really want to change, they must really have to by changing who they are. This is not only unreasonable, but undoubtadly impossible. Ive tried to change myself, but found I had nothing to live for-because I could never be who I am. If this means living peacfully, lovingly, according to the laws of the state, and still being a homosexual, then this is all I can do, but its not enough. We need partners if life just like anybody else, and its not about changing the bible, but changing the way people think about allowing those who have been shunned for years, to become normal instead of typcast freaks. Yes, there is another love, and its out there. Denying these folks a way of life is denying civil rights to promising people who are ready to give as law abiding citizens. To each his own, that's my philosophy.

Superman, wear pantyhose?

Actually, I dont think Superman would wear the new line of pantyhose for men, because once he would get out of his outfit, he would choose to relax, and probably just let me wear them around the house however I wish. You know, I use to be big on the Comfilon website, but lately I just dont know. Item A610 sheer tan went on the blink, and I still havent decided what line of pantyhose will replace my ol standbye.
Superman might try them on for camp (fun & games), but I quess the line of legwear would just be mine, or at least, on my side of the drawer. I do think he would look smashing in them though, and I cant say Ive ever seen a bodybuilder type build promoting this legwear for men in the first place. Even E-mancipate illustrates the issue with models of typical stature, and from what Ive seen most of the models anywhere are swimmer's build to just plain regular looking. They really ought to find some musclemen to sport this new line of hose, and in a fashionable way, of course.
There are many websites that exploit the use of men in pantyhose, and I dont cater to those sites. Ive looked, but it brings back bad memories of how the early disco days promoted rampant sexual behavior in so many needless terms. It doesnt look at all encouraging, and I dont sign up for any of this stuff. Even some of the yahoo groups have exploitive display of guys in pantyhose showing very bad angles that leaves me to believe these are not the kind of people I wish to associate, or mingle with. What Im looking for are men who are true to the nature of "fashion sense" and dont expect a fling everytime they slip some sheer size on themselves.
Pantyhose for men should be worn like any other men's garment, and its like expecting sex when wearing boxers or briefs. WTF.
Pantyhose for men is for your own personal enjoyment all the time, and should not be used as a ticket to ride the porno express. Of course, women have always used nylons, garters, and even pantyhose for sexual exploitation, but does that mean that men have to follow suit to all the bad girls. C'mon, get a grip. Sex is for sex, and I firmly believe in light of what the big AIDS problem originated from the sexual freedom 70s, should not be thought of as a role model.
Therefore the whole concept of marriage for gays is a definite idea for the survival of the species. Maybe thats why my husband only wears tights, and not pantyhose.

Why tights legwear are heavenly

If ever there was a piece of clothing made for human beings, its sheer pantyhose. I dont understand the complaints from women who are thankful their days of hose are generally behind them. Well, if it takes the male figure to bring them back into the limelight, then so be it. I love pantyhose legwear for men, and they feel almost heavenly. They're snug, form fitting, and fit like a glove. During warm weather they are cool, and if given constant care, can last a long time, perhaps a week or so. I always wash them with cool water only and no soap from the kitchen sink by hand, and let them dry on clothes hanger. They usually take less than 8 hrs to dry this way. I try to wash them when I first take them out of the container, but sometimes on rare occassion will put them on immediately. I for one dont have any plans on giving them up, and if ever men's pantyhose ever goes out of style again, I guess I'll have to go back to women's, but I wont like it, and I dont think this is going to happen as long as the trend continues in the interest of this kind of legwear for men. Hopefully it hits the U.S just as well as it has in Europe, but this will take some time and lots of promotion. Keeping the idea of pantyhose for men in the closet is as bad as staying in the closet yourself when it comes to being gay. Its no fun let me tell you. I mean, you want to tell the world, but you dont go about announcing it to every tom, dick, and louise taylor. Sometimes the uninformed have to find out the hard way themselves by news media, and general talk among fashion articles, but not everyone who wears pantyhose for men are going to break out in conversation and bring up the subject. More than likely they might even avoid it, and I dont blame them because its really no ones business what I wear in the first place. As heavenlly as the sheer tan is to my legs and general personality, I think it takes two to tango, and the relationship between the male figure and pantyhose legwear is a give and take situation. As long as you take care of it, it will take care of you, and it doesnt hurt to keep yourself informed as to the latest styles and bargain prices. I tried looking at Ebay for Comfilon, and some sellers do have them in abundance, but they seem to expect massive orders and Im the type to conserve when I can. I'll only buy in large quantities from regular websites than private sellers, and it seems safer that way.
Yes, Im religious, a devoted Catholic, and I like legwear for men. As God as my witness, I will wear them in heaven, too. (But I think he likes me down here).

Pantyhose makes me gay?

I know alot of gay people who are not into this sort of thing, so I dont think being any sort of sexual typified male has much to do with it. There are alot of straight folks who adore pantyhose/ tights with no subject to sexual preference to be had. I was gay long before my fascination with legwear for men ever began, and it also does not signify my status as to whether Im top or bottom in a gay relationship either, because this garment has no bearing with my bedside manner. There is one, however, new ingredient to my lifestyle with the invention of the latest fashion fad for men, and that's my sexual behavior. Im actually more conservative wearing the legwear because I take pride in how I look, and dont want to throw the garments around. Levi's are so easy to throw aside in a pile of clothes, but the pantyhose requires care or it will show the abuse, and that means a wasted investment.
That's not to say I wouldnt have sex while wearing them, because I would. I would just coax by boyfriend into buying me a new pair if they should get mangled. What I am surprised is that alot of gay men dont yet know about this product for sale, and are sometimes surprised to find me wearing stockings, but they dont make a bid deal about it. For the true blue gay male on sexual prowl, its just another article of clothing thats in the way of the real goods underneath.
Would I appreciate my boyfriend wearing pantyhose for men? Most certainly. Two heads are better than one, and its two votes for the same ideal.
Let's face it, its just another piece of clothing for the male body, and has nothing to do with a persons sexual prowess, but in some sort of offbeat way, its almost like having sex with no partner when wearing them. Funny.

Lets define: male pantyhose wearer

There are some people out there that when they first get a glimpse of a man wearing tights, nylons, or pantyhose, that he is some sort of transvestite, which actually makes me laugh since men are the first ones on this planet to wear such attire such as tights. That is, out in public. Women were expected to be decent and show hardly any ankle or leg until the women's movement came in at the turn of the century. In some sort of way, I would have liked to have lived in the medieval centuries, when men and tights were all in one package by the buckets full. Watching Romeo & Juliet and other costume movies of around that era brings alot of fancy to the ideas of dress for men. Robin Hood and his merry men were all blessed with the manly art of wearing tights, even as outcasts and wanted men.
So by todays standards, our only true resource is from the superhero genre which translates more into the world of tomorrow than the days of centuries past. For awhile there, it seemed that any sort of male that wanted to wear tights would have to wait for a theater role, or halloween. Must we join a circus to wear tights, I for one am afraid of heights. Must we wait for a local fair, or other occasion to secretly enjoy putting on a pair of tights? Enough already, the time has come for men to regain their sense of manlihood, and not conform to what seemed like a prison of blue jeans. This sort of clothing cannot be a phase or a marketing scam because I have shown interest in this attire for decades before it ever hit the market for men in todays civilization. Therefore it has always been in the back of my head, and wearing in secret gets very tired and boring. This is a liberation for the mens dress design, and I firmly believe it can only get better, and this is here to stay. The days of a male pantyhose wearer is no longer a drag queen, transvestite, or crossdresser, but a man who wishes to dress as a man wearing hose in the styles he wants, and where he wants. This is reclaiming what has belonged to the male species since almost the beginning of time. And if superheroes can wear them, so can I.

Where to wear

Since I once dared to wear them in shorts a few years back, out in plain view, Im not really picky as to where I wear my legwear for men. I just know when shorts are required, they usually go underneath. Wearing them to the gym, as I go to Gold's gym here in Fresno on Blackstone, I wear them when I workout, which is usually in grey or navy blue shorts. I havent received one negative comment from anyone, or even one sneer. Im not even sure they notice to tell you the truth, but lets be honest, they are durable, lightweight, flexible, and extremely form fitting to every curve of your body. Thats what makes them so enjoyable and usable, that they dont get in the way of athletic performance. They move with you all the way in every course of action.
Now, I have had problems of noticing a run in my stockings just before the gym, but I have never gotten one while at the gym. So Ive never had a bad incident where I was caught with a run in my hose while at the gym. As a matter of fact, I would most highly recommend wearing these athletic type hose because they help with endurance, and bring a sort of lighthearted fun to a hard working workout, which can sometimes get tiresome for someone like me who didnt even like P.E. in school.
Wearing pantyhose made for the male athlete also brings a sort of divine decadence to the scenario which makes the workouts a little more meaningful. I dont think I could be so commited to my weekly workouts had I not something to look forward to, by getting the chance to wear these at the gym. Therefore it can be considered a perk as well.
Ive worn them at work under security guard shorts, but this was to experiment as to whether anyone would notice or make a remark. They didnt, so I stopped wearing them to work. No fun there. So, in the meantime, I focus on wearing them either when I sleep, go to the grocery store, go to the pharmacy, or going out to eat. I also wear them at special events like the zoo, local fair, or certain shows. I wear them to the movie theater, and forget all about them. There is no mystery, or guilt. These pantyhose made for men are considered mine, and were meant to be worn by someone like myself, a man. And I do like them.

The Superhero Gene

I may have started early with experimenting with nylons & pantyhose, but I had definate influences with my concern for tight clothing. It probably came from the superhero comic books which started it all. I mean, just look at it, big muscle men sporting tight everything, I mean, what's up with that? All that to help a stray cat out of a tree?? Ok, so they were endowed with certain extras, but why tights? And what do superheroes wear when not in costume. I mean do they instantly go cold turkey? I remember watching George Reeves switching from costume to regular wear, and thought what a drastic pain. From one mode of cloth to something so unlike what he is used to. Is it really that easy to put things away?
I mean, wouldnt he prefer to wear something a little off key, perhaps a leisure set of tights which didnt resemble his outwardly persona of a superhero. I bet if superhero legends of yesterday, since they more or less evolved mostly in the 30s to 50s, had the present day availability of pantyhose for men, I am almost sure, that Superman himself would have decided to sport a pair of leisure sets of pantyhose while he was chilling out as Clark Kent, just to give his tight wearing body the same kind of comfort as his Superman outfit. Would he relax in another set of blue tights? I dont think so. It would be no surprise if he too, would wise up to the fact that you can have your cake of the day, and eat it also. Why have a tights fallout simply because you put your comic book suit away, and Im sure he has common sense enough to browse around the men's wear section of department stores online, but they didnt have online back in the early days of comics. So of course, superheroes had no access to anything but the ordinary.
So if Superman would have evolved from todays standards, I think he might have mused at the fact, that sudden use of boxer shorts isnt all that attractive to a regular tight wearing man. Relaxing "pantyhose for men" just might come in useful to the strong athletic tight wearing hero, that can give his legs full support while no longer announcing his true identity as a common civilian. Therefore, there is another stigma along with the "nylon gene" I'll call the "superhero gene", and that reflects his desire to continue to wear tights without the superhero label.
I can honestly see Clark Kent strutting around at the supermarket with cargo shorts and sheer tan underneath those humpy pants of his. What could be more natural to a super?

Appreciation wearing mens pantyhose

When I wear pantyhose for men in public, especially in shorts, its for my own pleasure and comfort. In the back of my head, I might want recognition, but it isnt entirely necessary, and if I go thru a day of no comments, its still ok. Im not logging glares, remarks, or comments to my wardrobe agenda, it is something I wish to wear, because I feel its mine to wear-in public. I mean, I do hope it looks good, but Im not going to buy shorter shorts because of it, Im not really trying to turn heads. In fact, I appreciate no comments at all.
I'll tell you one thing, its gotten so I cant wear shorts without the legwear. Ive been wearing them for several years now, and I havent gotten any bad experiances or jabs. In fact, I feel perhaps a little more tolerance from others or strangers. Perhaps they dont even notice. The tan color of the sheer hose blends perfectly with my hispanic skin. I dont shave my legs, because I tried it once, and it was a big hassle. So the pantyhose for men thing is going to have to accept me as is, and actually my legs dont look any worse for not shaving, so I dont even feel it essential.
I wore them in public to Disneyland once, and I even think I forgot I was wearing them. Its no big deal, its just a piece of clothing men have finally adopted for themselves as usual attire. I go to the gym, and workout because Ive always done so, and do not go to look great in pantyhose. But the working out helps me to look great, and I appreciate the blend of fitness and sexy attire. I will never wear a bra or panties, and with control top pantyhose, you dont need panties. When I dont wear hose, I wear Fruit of the Loom, and thats good enough for me because it reminds me of who I am. A MAN. not a woman or crossdresser. I will never buy ladies pantyhose again, because to me, thats crossdressing. Pantyhose for men isnt, because I wouldnt expect a woman to buy this line of hose, even if they do so because they are supposedly made stronger.
I actually believe this is not a phase or fashion statement as it is a revolution for men to take pride in their style of legwear. Yes, Im sick of black and white socks alone, give me a break.
Pantyhose style of legwear for men is here to stay, and I dont require judgement from any other source than my own personal satisfaction with it. Amen, brother.

Pantyhose for Men does not make me crossdress

Another thing about the new style of legwear for men, is that some people view it as crossdressing, and I never did because I was aware of the times that the male gender was allowed to wear hose in public, anywhere from tights to knickers. So crossdressing may have a definite stigma to the brand new world of pantyhose/tights for men, but that's not the case for me. Ive always dressed masculine, and from my point of view it is simply a perk. Its also an option to wear or not to wear, and entirely depends on my mood, just likie any other piece of clothing I have.
Personally, I will never wear high heels or paint my toenails. I dont want to emulate what women have been doing with thier style of legwear, and I dont want to be a copycat. I prefer to invent ways to provide the new legwear a stimulating way to dress in regular men's attire. The legwear is just an accessory, and if at all possible its more in keeping with my state of mind than the look. It actually makes me feel better. The Pantyhose for men provided by services like Comfilon, Legwear4men, and other websites that manufacture and sell, are providing me with access to tights and pantyhose made for men, not women. I dont see myself putting on a dress or wearing tight slacks with sandels. I will always wear butch attire, gym clothes, mens dress clothes, and wear casual around my apartment in them. I am not a flasher and I dont go around telling everyone Im wearing them. Its none of their business.
But I will advocate online, and provide encouragement to anyone who has not had the joyish pleasure of wearing what I have longed for a long time, and dress as a man.

My computer loves my pantyhose

It's no accident that my new discovery of men's pantyhose was parallel with my introduction to the web. It was about the same time that my techno geek co-worker set me up with one of his hand me down PCs. It worked minimul at best, but enough to surf the web and also discover the website COMFILON. It was almost as if the computer itself had set me up to located something it found suitable for me to wear while surfing the internet. Not to mention finding some of my most beloved lost treasure from my younger days on ebay or amazon. It was Amazon where I found many CD issues of disco I thought extinct. Even youtube was not yet quite available to me, as the hand me down computer could not play videos appropriately. So my surfing was limited, but I made good my search finds.
Still, now that Ive gone thru two hand me down PCs, and most recently have purchased a entirely new one (that works like a dream), I sit at the computer desk, with just hose & t-shirt, I get the uncanny feeling my computer likes me dressed the way I am, and is a willing partner to help me find other contacts, websites, blogs, forums, and merchandise that will slip right on me as it sees fit. I love my computer, and I will continue to wear legwear for men because the computer helped me find it in the first place. I could not have done this without it.

A day without tights for men

For some reason, even when I want to, I abstain from putting on my tights. Its almost like a cleansing, but what its really for is to cultivate anticipation for the next time I eventually put them on. And Im feeling my legs almost beg for the nylong fabric pleasure, yet it remains in the knowledge that it is only around the corner.
Its almost a relentless love affair to leave them hanging ready for wear, while I go about my business, as if toying with the knowledge that we are together, even if not being worn. This is not a phase for me, and it never will be. Ever since I found Steve Katz COMFILON, and Activskin.Au I will never part. Legwear4men also keeps me in touch, and there are so many styles out there, I want to try them all. I just wish civilization was advanced enough that these garments can be bought just over the counter as regular men's wear in the underwear section.
I wish there could be a fashion show that focus solely on the unique styles and fashions that can be worn with legwear for men. Styles that could range from dress clothes (with dress pant shorts), to outdoor gear for camping and hiking. Athletic clothes could also be focused like gym clothes to riding a bike. Consciousness is one thing, and Im glad for the awareness programs, but I wish it went more beyond the risk of doing so in the public's eye.
There are many contests for many things, and having the best set of gams in legwear for men isnt a bad idea for such a contest. We'll see.

My tights (and pantyhose for men)

Actually, I began my interest with nylons/pantyhose since the day I was a young kid, and I messed with my own mothers wardrobe. I knew then I was hooked. One time, soon afterwards I got a plush toy dog that accidently tore on one side exposing what was inside. Whoever made this plush animal stuffed it with wads & wads of different shades of pantyhose. Gift from the gods? Maybe. As a teenager, I could buy ladies pantyhose of my own, leaving my mother's drawer alone. I don't think she ever caught me, I dunno. So growing up all my life, I have bought many brands of pantyhose, but I always seemed to prefer tan color over beige and natural. Being hispanic, it fit me. Along the way, Ive always been interested too, in superhero costumes, and got a hold of some attire to fantasize in. Although for halloween, I ususally dressed as a ghoul or goblin. It wasnt until I became mature, that I bought Superman, Wolverine, Batman, Robin the boy wonder, and Peter Pan. I looked pretty good in almost all of them, and received compliments.
Back in the year 2000-2001, when buying a small box of ladies pantyhose at the local supermarket, they did a price check-wouldnt you know it. They even sent a clerk to check down the pantyhose isle. Needless to say, this was the last time I would buy over the counter again. It seemed my pantyhose and tights lifestyle had come to a slight close.
One day, when I was becoming aquainted with browsing the internet on my very first home computer about this same time, I was searching for regular costume colored tights for men to generate a logical costume, mostly for halloween at the Santa Monica St. Fair. I accidently came across a site I had never seen before. It was COMFILON, and I was absolutely amazed, although it took me awhile of convincing, that this was a real seller's market, and not some cheap scam at porno graphic toys. When I discovered Steve Katz's website, and luckily he personally helped me through customer service, I found that I was blessed by mother nature giving me my own personal made for men pantyhose lifestyle. Once, I even recall seeing a cheap MANTYHOSE product at an erotic shop, which I NEVER GOT. The cover of the cartoon man was silly, and it looked like a humor toy. No thanks, I meant business, and so does Steve Katz who has seemed to started it all. Now there is almost an overabundance of promotional sites, and web blogs to last a lifetime. Im facsinated that many, many men out there find these garments attractive to wear not just behind closed doors, but in full view of the world.
When I took the chance myself to begin wearing in public, it was because of the name penned ACTIVSKIN. At first I found I was wearing them so much so behind closed doors in the privacy of my own home, that the name was becoming INACTIVSKIN. I said to myself, this wasnt right, and was determined to wear it outside of the closed doors. I began in long pants, and through several days and weeks, gradually upped the hemline to wearing long shorts, to shorter shorts. I have never received one upfront sneer, gleam, or awful moment. I am quite comfortable wearing what I feel is truely mine now, as its made for the male gender specifically.
I still prefer tan with control top. It is unfortunate that my very favorite of all styles was the item A610 at Comfilon which has been discontinued due to a lack of source for nylon fabric involved. Im now slowly wearing my remaining supplies, Im only thankful I once bought in bulk orders, but the time will come I must decide a new style to take its place. If anyone could suggest a new style of hose similar to Activskin item A610 sheer tan with control top support, I would most certainly like to hear. Affordability is also a plus since my style was only $7.99 compared to most other products which are usually more expensive.
