Bob:
I am glad to see you are still in one piece and not frozen yet. I have to agree but sometimes the older man may be the one who is more active than the younger too. In both cases it is important that each be honest with each other. Good to hear from you Bob.

Subject: intro and comments on intergenerational relationships

Hello all i am new too the list and I guess have waited for a subject i can sink my teeth into before posting.

i am a 32 yo 5 11, 300lbd top bear from the great state of Texas, i am mod furry Brown body and head hair But for some reason my scot/irish heritage has decided to come out in my red facial hair. I enjoy music of all kinda and I mean all kinds from gregorian and buddist chants to 80's punk rock a with my very favs being punk (sorry I did have a mohawk when I was in high school) big band era swing and country (I even like hillbilly music if some of you know what that is) reading esp about the ancient European culture of the Celts(Scot/Irish and very proud of it), the internet, and Sci Fi and alternate history fiction. Plus so much more I can not even begin to tell it all here. as for intergenerational relationships as for personal experience the younger guys like myself who perfer older men find it easier to relate to people whom are older then themselves. I have always wanted to be in a relationship with an older man. I remember when I was 7yo setting on my back pourch watching the 60yo retired marine whom live next door mow his lawn. I also remember saying to my self as i seat there watching him With the Globe tatooed on his arm and grey hair covering his chest, I want to marry him when I grow up. My Grandmother instilled in me a love for history and quite frankly older men have experience more of it then I so I find it wonderfully relaxing just seating and chatting about the way things were. I will addmit when I was younger I wanted to go out alot, but i have found that that urge has lessened the older I get. and I kinda figure that the urge to go out was connected more to the fact I had been out less then 6 months when I got into my first relationship then my age. now that I have been out a while and have more experience at the whole thing I think I am able to tell what I want out of life alot better then I did than. growing up in a fundie baptist home, I had not really began to think about who I was a person until I came out. well I have rambled enough.

OH BTW I perfer men 50yo or older facial and body hair a plus but not a must.

Headline:
Gay Officers in London Face Abuse, Harassment
(Data Lounge, 10 January 2001)

Text:
LONDON -- The British newspaper The Evening Standard reports gay police officers in London's West End have for more than a year been the target of a particularly vicious hate campaign waged against them by their own colleagues on the force.

Scotland Yard has launched an investigation into the incidents, focusing on officers stationed at West End Central in Savile Row. The West End Central police station is popular among gay officers because of its proximity to Soho and Old Compton Street, predominantly gay areas in London.

A similar investigation was launched last year, after a string of harassment threats, but the newspaper says the internal inquiry failed to turn up any leads.

The new investigation is centering on letters sent to eight officers which were described by police spokespersons as "threatening and deeply unpleasant."

The letters follow other incidents in which bottles of gasoline were sent to police officers at their homes with notes urging them to set fire to themselves. The paper further mentions an incident in which the the word "faggot" was scratched on an officer's car inside a secure police compound.

Scotland Yard confirmed that the Directorate of Professional Standards -- formerly the Complaints Investigation Bureau -- launched the new inquiry after the letters were received by officers at West End Central on Monday.

"The letters -- sent to eight male officers at the station -- are threatening and homophobic in nature. This matter is being taken extremely seriously and a DPS investigation was immediately launched today," said a Scotland Yard official.

"A number of allegations have been made in the past," continued the spokesman, "and those were rigorously investigated although there have not been charges. Any possible link between these latest incidents and those in the past will be fully pursued."

Homophobia isn't the only problem London police officers have to face up to. London, like many large cities, is a place where you can find people of many different ethnic backgrounds. True Londoners are even a minority in some parts of the city where West-Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese make up the bulk of the population.

It was therefore considered politically correct to have the police force be a true cross-section of the general population, resulting in the recruitment of officers from these varying ethnic backgrounds.

Knowing how childish some people can be, this was asking for trouble. Racism is rife in the Police forces. Believe it or not, a Pakistani(?) officer was recently framed by "colleagues" who were busy sending out racist hate-mail in his name. He has since been cleared of the charges and reinstated in the forces, but I don't know if the people responsible for this act have been found.
