        I understand what you're saying, and this may be true, but why make
excuses for the man?  I took Pete's comments about his sexuality as either
the truth, or a stab at the speculation about his sexual preferences.
Since he made quite a number of statements regarding his alleged
preferences, and homosexual sex in general, I doubt that he was just saying
those things just for the sake of shocking the audience.  If he was, he
would seem to be somewhat homophobic, which I don't think he is.  I don't
know, let's call him up and ask him. :)
