Re: well
honestly i am going to agree with stonedead, because life as we probaly know already is the flowing exchange of energy; even down to the hobbies and diffrent walks of life can in turn be political. I feel that as long as some thing affects our interaction with our enviorment it can be deemed political, becausewith every action there is an equal reaction.

I don't think sexuality should be categoriszed into political OR personal.  I truly believe that you are who you are and it doesn't matter how many, or how few, people you tell it doesn't change the fact!  I myself am gay, and quite frankly i find in stupid beyond belief to hide it from people, because i would be lying to myself aswell.

well
We have a right to keep certain details private, but if they affect who we are and how we live, then they become "political" as well as personal, and it's silly to pretend that they don't mean anything just because we like to be quiet or private about them.  Much of what we don't talk about in public is extremely important and is political in essence.  But when you come right down to it, we are political beings in essence...everything we think and feel has social implications because we are connected to everyone else.
