The Dolphin Dilemmas

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. It's a small, trivial, silly dilemma, but a dilemma just the same. I hope after writing the word dilemma so many times that I'm spelling it right. Anyway, my dilemma is this; what I learned today came from a blog I like to read, written by someone I know. He is amazing and there's no way I could say it any better than he did. I just feel a little funny about blogging about something he already did, know what I mean? I suppose I could just link over there, and I will, but, you know, I should say something of my own. I'll give it a whirl.

Today I learned from Eric over at Vonneguts Asshole, that sweet little ole dolphins not only like to have porn sex, they like to gang bang. Check it out.

I always had the notion that people who liked dolphins were lesbians. No offense or anything, but I have a memory of hearing that somewhere. Just now I Googled "lesbian dolphins" and found
The Dolphin Democrats
,


who's mission statement reads, "It shall be the mission of this organization to foster good will between gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) members of the Democratic Party and the community at large. We seek individual freedom in the framework of a just society and political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all citizens."
So, I guess I was right. I wonder how they would feel about their namesake after reading the Asshole blog? Anyway, Go Dolphin Democrats!

I also found several Women Only and gay/lesbian dolphin watching trips, and learned that male Bottlenose Dolphins are "characterized by extensive bisexuality, combined with periods of exclusive homosexuality".
I also found this little gem, on the Best of Craigslist.
It's a rant or something by a girl who likes to do interesting things with her middle finger, as well as speaking 5 different dolphin languages. It's a bit crude but if you can handle this blog, you can probably handle it.

While I understand your dilemma, I think that the Dolphin Democrats, while likely having the best of intentions, have grossly miscalculated their dolphin mascots. If dolphins are gay, their homosexuality is probably less a lifestyle choice than the brutal gay-by-necessity behavior you might find in any state prison. It's "homosexuality of convenience," if you will. They're not the gays who enjoy civil unions, pride parades, and B&Bs in Massachusetts. They're the gays who enjoy gloryholes, loitering a little too long in highway reststop bathrooms, and muttering things to their cellmates like, "You sure do have a perty mouth."

As for the Craigslist woman and her rant about middle fingers, she just proves my point. It's not surprising that someone who claims to know five dolphin languages also "likes my hair pulled and my tampon strings played with." I'm sure she'll have no problem finding a dolphin soul mate who shares her interests.

It's possible that you could offend any of my HSoC readers by comparing them to dolphins, but I'll just get to my question; are you calling me a rapist because I too, like to have my tampon strings played with? I mean, my hair pulled?
