(110) A Slightly Tarnished Golden Rule

My #1 tenant was always that Murphy's Manor was a gay comic strip. The subject  matter of every strip should in some way be about being gay. It could be gay in the sexual sense, or cultural, social, or economic aspects of being gay. But the bottom line was that the point of the strip should turn on the gayness of the character(s). You should not be able to plug in heterosexual characters and have the strip still work.

And here I broke that rule. If Jeff were talking about a women as his objet d'lust, the strip would work exactly the same. All it would take would be to change a few pronouns.

One could also conclude that if all that's necessary is to change pronouns, maybe gay and straight relationships aren't that different. 

Except the plumbing, of course.
