So....Is homosexualtity something a person 'practices'? See article:
'Gay wedding' ends up in cells
12/02/2006 17:40 - (SA)

Dubai - A United Arab Emirates court has jailed 12 men who were arrested after being discovered preparing for a gay wedding, but acquitted another 14 defendants, an official said on Sunday.

"Eleven men have confessed to practising homsexuality.

They were sentenced to five years in prison (for homosexuality) and one year for obscenity," said the official.
< snip >

The 26 defendants, including UAE citizens, an Indian and three nationals of neighbouring Arab countries, were arrested in November when police raided a hotel in a desert resort town.

Emirates Today had reported that the Abu Dhabi court had sentenced all 26 men to five years in jail.

It said the men were busted in a hotel "dressed in women's clothes and makeup in preparation for a gay wedding".

Am I a 'practising heterosexual'? I mean, practice does make perfect (on in my case, pervert).

Just do me a favor - DON'T make any cartoons about this and run them in the paper. It could get ugly :)

5. As a hetero, or as a Lesbian trapped in a mans body
I can only say that when I was in my youth, I played more than I practised but, as I age, I have learned that like with my guitar, practice makes you play better.
