> A closet is all well and good if it's what you need, but do 
keep opening  the door from time to time!  I've been together 
with hubby for over ten  years and he's gone from amused and 
tolerant to the most active and  supportive of friends. 

My husband had been totally cool about the whole thing. He never 
batted an eye when I finally got up the guts to tell him what I 
had been reading and writing. Now it's this big joke that we 
tease about.  Whenever we see a movie or tv show with two guys, 
he'll ask 'are you writing about them next'

One day he said something to me while I was sitting down putting 
away a bunch of zines. I had some Star Wars zines and he said 
"I'm surprised you people haven't started slashing Luke and Han" 
So I proudly held up the cover of a recently purchased Elusive 
Lover zine and he nearly fell off his chair laughing.

The best had to be recently though. I have a Sentinel zine that 
has been on my coffee table on more than one occasion and  
features a naked Jim ass. My husband once remarked upon coming 
back from a trip "Ah, that's how I know I'm home...there's naked 
men's asses staring up at me from my coffee table."

So anyway, he had apparently been looking at this ass more 
closely than even he realized. One day we are watching something 
on HBO which showed a man's naked ass. My husband, before he even 
seemed to realize what he was saying, quite casually said to me 
"Hey that looks like Jim's ass"

You know you have a great slash tolerant marriage when your 
husband is picking out the asses for you off the TV.  And this 
guy on the TV DID have a great ass <g>
