Now I oppose homosexuality as an aberration of nature with IMHO too much
exposure from the brain-difficient liberal minority, but that is my opinion
only - the guy has a perfect right to advertise for gar riding partners.
It's called free speech, and repulsive as though it may be to you and me, it

Agreed. The poor guy just wants to go cycling with some gay friends.
Why don't you other jerks give it a break? Too much time on your
hands? Nobody's forcing you to go riding with him.

Assuming the original post wasn't a troll or an attempt to cause someone
serious trouble by "outing" him...
At first, I'd be inclined to side with Greg here. The sexual preference of
the people I ride with is irrelevant, just as is their race, religion or
general political leanings. I just can't afford to be that picky, and I
rather enjoy the company of people that are unlike me. There is so much
that can be learned from them.
Actually, there is a very good reason for getting more women out on their
bikes. They might be surprised by how much they enjoy it! And women are in
no less need of exercise than men.
I DO understand why there are women-only bike clubs and rides. They just
want to get out and ride without being hassled by men they perceive as "on
the make." It should have to be that way, but we live in an imperfect
world.
OTOH, if a bunch of gays want to get together to ride their bikes because
they feel ill at ease around straights, why should anyone be surprised?
Just because you weren't invited to the party, doesn't mean you would have
wanted to go in the first place.

Having known a number of gay cyclists over the years, I
think you've just explained it for him, and explained why
so many places have gay cycling clubs -- if you wanted to
find someone to ride with, would you want to join a club
where you knew you'd be accepted, or one where you could be
fairly sure someone would denounce you as a pervert, be
uncomfortable riding with you, and not want to be seen with
you in public?
There are plenty of other cycling clubs centered around
other common interests beyond cycling -- Christian cycling
clubs, singles cycling clubs, black cycling clubs, youth
cycling clubs, good microbrewed beer lovers' cycling clubs,
etc. Why would you single out a gay cycling club as especially
inappropriate?
None of this is a new deabte, by the way -- he's posted
about the same announcement off and on for years, so I
assume there hasn't been much interest in the club so far.

No it's not a gay news group. It's not a women's newsgroup, either, but here I
am. And I don't ever recall you telling me not to post Women's Cycling Network
info. I imagine it's pretty much the same thing. It's not so much that men
aren't allowed - spouses, sibs, S.O.s and friends turn up for the epic rides.
But like others have pointed out, as a minority (and as a female in
mountainbiking, I do consider myself a minority) it's nice to cycle with a group
that you automatically have something in common with, in a no-pressure
situation. It's a great way to bring other women into a sport that can be
intimidating; nobody's going to smirk if you need to get off and walk, you can
ask all the questions you want without triggering a condescending lecture, and
you can learn to repair your own bike, so you can tell the horn dogs looking to
use their tool kit to get laid to take flying leap.
I can't speak to why homosexuals feel the need to "proclaim" their sexuality.
In fact, I don't know that they proclaim it any more than the average hetero
male does in his every day life. IME straight men make more overtly sexual
comments than I've ever heard from gay guys (and not just directed at me, so
don't go there).

I thought everyone was being fairly nice. Most don't have a problem with

Try posting "Gay Racecar Driver Group in Charlotte,NC looking for
members" on the rec.nascar newsgroup.
that's where you'll see what the definition of jerk is.

I have no idea how enlightened the police and proecutors
are in his area, but I can certainly see why he'd have that
restriction.
Look how many flaming assholes here seem to have assumed
he's looking for sex partners instead of riding partners.
If his local law enforcement had any similar bigots, or if
the parents of an underaged rider went hysterical, he could
easily end up facing entirely bogus charges of pedophilia,
molestation, corrupting the morals of youth, etc. There's
certainly plenty of precedent for such malicious
prosecution of innocent people in the U.S.

I know that as a newbie, and a female rider, I feel more comfortable being
with people who have a similar background to me. i.e. not very good and
ummm female!! He probably feels the same, he asked if any of you wanted to
join a particular group of people, with a set of common interests, he didn't
ask if you wanted to become gay or anything else. As this is a large forum,
with a wide diversity of people, probabilities are that a few have replied
to him, and seeing the response his posting got, did it off line.

Elly, or Garry or whatever your name is, please consider the
following:
At first blush, the initial post looks like a classic "frame job"
that was being done by someone who has an axe to grind with Brock
Bailey.
A quick deja search seems to indicate that this guy is the real
thing, rather than a frame.
The issue here is not so much the orientation of this Brock
fellow but the fact that his post is a thinly veiled troll for
sex partners. I could care less if he parks his john thomas in a
woman, a man, a goat or his hand for that matter.
If a straight guy were to post something about looking for nubile
young girls to ride with, it would be met with equal scorn, IMO.
Still doubtfull about his true character?

Remove the other newsgroups so you don't populate your trash. Yes I
understand the irony of me leaving all three newsgroups but I just want
people to remove the other two newsgroups before replying.
The legal requirements are put in place for two requirements one we were
asked because the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said we had to fallow
the legal requirement of legal age which is 16 but we increased the age to
17 years old as if sex does happen on our rides or planned camp out / rides
there is no legal problems with age of consent and possible problems..and
the other requirement is for saftey reasons and people 17 and up are more
mature and be able to handel these situations...
We have taken this responce and want to be a legal gay moutain biking group
and welcome new members...intrested contact Brock Bailey and new web site
will be going up soon to get new members...

Excellent post! Personally, I'd think it strange for a hetero rider
to be talking about his sex life on a ride. Same for anyone else.
When you're on the trail, your sexual preferences, voting habits, or
religion just don't matter. Just ride the bike and enjoy.

Building a bike group based on sexuality is fine, but you really should
promote the riding aspect of it, not the soliciation of sex. I don't care
who rides with me, as long as they keep up.

Well wouldn't you be comfortable in a group that allowed breeders who are
friendly to the gay cause to join? You don't have to be an exclusively gay
group just to be comfortable in an organization- unless you want to cruise
the membership for sex and are afraid you'll embarrass yourself because your
gaydar sucks. There are plenty of breeder types out there who are very
accepting of gay people and some who actually spend time with gays (oh the
shock). Instead of having an exclusively gay group, why not have a
queer-friendly group? Like a GSA mountain biking group or something?
Unless the whole point of this really is to get some, in which case good
idea- mountain bikers tend to be pretty well-built guys. Just remember that
in the eyes of Jesse Helms, these sorts of things just prove that gays are
out for sex. And much as we hate it people do listen to Jesse Helms.

Hahaha....I wanna make jokes and type out a laugh too....
Personally, I don't think gays should be in the biking scene because 'size
matters.' I sure as hell don't see any bikers packin in their lil spandex
shorts.
I don't even know why bikers are making lil prejudice remarks. Who shaves
their legs? Women, drag queens, and bike riders....
There, we have a lil flame going on too. Yay for me.
I also think the government doesn't want gay men to marry because what's the
point of marriage if you can't beat your wife?
There's a problem here, and it comes from external perception. Perceptions
like yours, that assume that a male - just because he is gay - does
everything for sex. Therefore, I can only assume that Mr. Bailey's open
declaration of age limit is done with the precis intent of defusing any
claims of pedophelia and the like.
Ya realize, of course, that in BC, two 16-year olds can go at it with any
number of lubricants and tools... unless they are of the same gennder, in
which case, it is against the law?
A fifteen-year old boy can be at either end of oral gratification with a
seventeen-year old, unless the two are of the same gender. Kinda screwy,
eh? Betcha never knew that, did you?
These days, it doesn't hurt to be up-front andn legal about everything.
The story I like to tell that really puts this into perspective comes from
Christmas of 1985. I was in the US at the time, wasn't into family dinners
and all the rest of that because I didn't have any family at hand, etc,
etc. So a gay friend of mine invites me to a dinner that his "social
group" were having.
Ends up with me, in a room of about 30 gay males, only two of which knew
myself (and my sexual preferences). So there I was, the only straight in a
room full of gays, and everyone around me assuming I was... well... like
everyone else.
Got into a heated discussion on politics, religion, annd the like. Party
winds down. One of the guys I've been talking with asks myself and my
friend for our numbers. Brian writes down his, I write down mine.
"Oh, I thought you two lived together," came the response.
I looked at Brian. Brian looked at me. "He doesn't realize," I stated.
"No, he doesn't," said Brian.
"Uh... you two _are_ together, aren't you?" came the response.
I looked at Brian. Brian looked at me. "He doesn't realize," I stated.
"No, he doesn't," said Brian.
"You aren't?" came the response.
"No," said I.
"Oh. You look like the perfect couple," came the response.
Brian grins. "You don't realize," I stated.
"Realize what?" came the response.
"I'm not gay." I stated.
Silence. Dead silence. Heads turn. More silence.
"You're not?" came the responnse, after a while, "but... but... I would
never have known..... you ARE?.... REALLY? Wow. I... " the response faded.
And I suddenly realized, in a strange turn of roles, what is has to be
like to go through that every day of one's life...
Sexuality is a fundamental part of some people's identity - and for those
persons with alternate lifestyles (such as gays, lesbians, those with
different religious beliefs) those lifestyles become a vital part of one's
social surroundings.
I, for one, wouldn't want to join a cycling club only to find out that it
was for those wishing to share in the Love of The Bible - as I am
effectively an atheist....
