Each Gay Man In Gay Relationship:
"I'm The Man In This Relationship."

A local gay couple- pictured above- each believes the other to
be the "woman" in their gay-relationship.

A local gay couple- Nathaniel LeRoux (left) and Lucas Frenchois (next to Nathaniel)- both confided in this reporter that each believes themself to be the "man" of the relationship, leaving their partner to be the "woman."

"Whenever we're doing anything gay," LeRoux said, over a glass of sparkling Merlot at a party on the northside of town with other homosexuals, "I'm the man. I'm always the one to pick up the check [at gay bars.] If we get a flat tire- or even just need to fill up [the Gay-Mobile]- I always nice enough to do it, so he won't get his pretty hands dirty.

"And he's always ready to take it in the ass when I get the [homosexual] urges," LeRoux added, making a slight kiss-face with his lips that left me slightly creeped out.

LeRoux and Frenchois met each other at an alternative lifestyle potluck at a truckstop in Spring of 2002, and have been nearly inseperable ever since. Through struggles to get parents and families to accept their gay relationship, they have remained deeply devoted to each other. When the discussion moved to [gay] marriage, Frenchois stepped in quickly.

"We've talked about it, and if we ever did tie the [fairy] knot, he'd [Nathaniel] would defintely be the one in the dress," he said, tweeking his nipple with a swivel stick. "He has the legs for it. He's always trying on skirts, wigs, that sort of thing. He's make a great woman, if he were only a little prettier.

"Know what we call his mouth? A vagina," Frenchois added, following it up with a couple of winks that were really unnecessary.

So what qualifies this story as news? That's the question posed to me by my editor-in-chief, Kristoffer Kenison, as he looked over my notes and roll of film that I found after passing out at the party.

"So that's a glory hole," Kenison said, laughing under his breath as he came across a picture of this reporter on a restroom floor at said residence. "I always thought they'd be more colorful, maybe with some puffy stickers of like unicorns or cocks."

So what makes a man the "woman" in a gay relationship? When asked, both LeRoux and Frenchois answered the same:

"The ability to shove their junk between their legs and look like they have a vagina. And [both LeRoux and Frenchois] can do that."
