What Should Dupree Do
« on: November 10, 2006, 06:51:13 am »
To readers of "The Laramie Saga:  The Red Stallion."  Jeremy's plight will not be solved before the Saga ends, so another story will be written to follow his romantic perils as outlined in the books of the Saga, most specifically, "The Red Stallion."  What do you think should happen?

I didn't want to inhibit the closing of the Saga, or its final pages, by getting preoccupied with hurrying through the subplot concerning Dupree.  It certainly does warrant its own story.  And only two people besides me know the plot!

muah hahahahaha.

If ADA Samuelson is straight (I'm still undecided in my mind) then I think that she might be the woman for Dupree.

Of maybe he's bi and it's going to take him a little longer to figure things out. People don't all fit into neat little categories.

yes I noticed that right away, David.  I think our readers are writing Janice out of the story, what do you think?

I'm with Kazza.
I think his struggle to find his own identity might be even more interesting, If his bi. And will take more time. Which would mean a longer story... :D

Been thinking about it a lot (yes, I know, get a life...). If he really thought he was straight all his life, he never had to deal with the stigma, the fear what would "everybody" think. Its one thing to be tolerant and have gay friends, and quite another to be gay (or bi)  yourself and have to personally face the stigma. What would the other cops at the station think? not to mention Wes, who will probably have a fit (its contagious!! LOL)...

Also, if he's bi, he would have to choose a mate on the basis of love, not sexual attraction (since he can have satisfying sex with both genders )...

I'm really rooting for Jeeves, but hey, it's bound to be a hell of a read no matter who he chooses. 8)

  Oh so NOT true!   There are other reasons.

   The "Ennis" in my recent past was bisexual and claimed to enjoy sex equally with men and women.   He made his "choice" to marry a girl because it was easier.    He honestly felt that choosing the gay lifestyle would have made his life difficult and a hurt his family and career.  Which is sometimes true I suppose.     He claims to have supressed his gay side 100% so he can dedicate his life to his wife and new children.    And for the kids sake, I hope he does.

David...I'm shocked.  You know that's not possible.  It's supressed 100% for the moment he says it.  But never supressed forever.  The children...oh the children...that's a crime.  He needs a vasectomy.

Jermey needs to leave Jeeves behind, and find another experimental male.

Maybe it was an easier choice David, and for his wife and childrens sake I hope it was the right one. I,m not gay, so please correct me if I,m wrong here, but if your gay, how can you supress it? It will always be there, and the thing that gets me is: Sometimes you hear stories about gay men who get married, because that is what "normal" men do. Then they have kids, and then again, there is the "proof"..ther,e "normal". But sometimes, a few years down the line, they end up severly depressed and sometimes, end up committing suicide. They have then left a widow and orphaned kids. So what would have been better? Yes the poor girl would have been hurt if he had split up with her, sure, BUT at least she wouldnt be a widow and innocent kids wouldnt be orphaned. I hope, for everyones sake, your friend has made the right choice in his life, because if not, an awful lot of people are going to suffer for it. IMO, if you know, you are gay, you shouldnt get married just to prove to everyone that your "normal". It,s wrong.
