TODD SANFIELD
is everything. Tom Sullivan I can’t get enough. Todd is tops! Darlo Bastard In order of preference: DNA #130, 173, 84, DNA Men 1, 121. Todd is a great cover guy (and so sexy) but 5 times on the cover? Surely DNA hasn’t run out of models? radar69 Five times or 50 times is never enough of Todd. grahamgordon And he just received his doctorate in pharmacology, brains and brawn! Swoon! David M Chavez
I’M OFFENDED THAT YOU’RE OFFENDED.
I just read the opinion piece [ Are You Slur About That? DNA #173] regarding “offensive words”. This has gotten out of hand. The article provided a list of words GLAAD deems defamatory. Their unacceptable terms include “homo”, “homosexual” and “gay lifestyle” among others. I can’t find anything offensive about those words or phrases. I find the word “queer” offensive, yet I recognise other people do not. Should I be offended every time I read or hear that word? I think the alphabet soup (LGBTQIA) used to identify us is ridiculous. Should I be bothered by that? Whenever any of us begins down that ugly road of being the thought police, we should all take note. RuPaul brilliantly tweeted a quote from George Orwell’s 1984 in response to the big hoopla over his show’s use of “She-Mail”. Maybe we should all re-read that book? Roushgresko
ELECTROSHOCKING.
The series of interviews and articles done on aversion therapy [ Cut The Truth Out Of My Brain… Is That What You Want? DNA #173] really moved me; it was a tough and uncomfortable read but I knew I had to face it and finish it. So many of us have been forced into some sort of “correction”. So glad there is decent writing out there in regards to what was, and all too often still is, our nightmare existence. Please thank writer Matthew Myers for me. Greg Swan.
WILLING AND DISABLED.
I read Andrew Greig’s column with interest every month. Perhaps he could write a fitness article for those of us who cannot go to gyms due to being disabled. Most of us are aware what constitutes a healthy diet, but with exercise we have little knowledge due to our mobility. Peter Fraser. We’ve passed on your request, Peter. In the meantime, healthguide.org suggests incorporating cardiovascular (like aquajogging), strength (resistance weights) and f lexibility (stretching) into your routine.
