Should band persistently comments I bring it up again? Should I when he feels a person or assume that he doesn’t love a situation is gay. (I’m not me? Annie, help me. — Beat sure how a situation can be Him to the Punch Too Soon gay, but whatever.) He is not Dear Beat Him to the homophobic and is all for Punch: Before you call your equality for the LGBTQ com- munity. But he keeps talking about how his “gaydar” tells him when someone is gay. Since the birth of our daugh- ter, it’s been getting more and more on my nerves. I don’t care what anyone’s sexuality is, and I don’t want to listen to my husband’s interpreta- tion of it. He doesn’t mention how straight other people are. When I tell him this commen- tary is unwanted (by me and our friends), he blows me off. What can I tell him to get him to understand that not every- one wants his take on sexual- ity? — Annoyed and Trying to Help Dear Annoyed and Try- ing to Help: Tell him that these comments are not funny or insightful. They’re also not a good example to set for your daughter. (She might be pre- verbal now, but she won’t be for long.) If that’s not rea- son enough for him, you might mention that constantly talking about other people’s sexuality makes him seem uncomfortable with his own. Perhaps he should take some time to reflect on why he’s so preoccupied with the topic. 5A By Holiday Mathis, Creators Syndicate Inc. ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are people you keep returning to over and over in one form or another. It’s as though all of the turns eventually lead you back to each other. Your thoughts, intentions or lives will once again intersect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The reason you’re not sure you want to leap at the chance for more power is that you realize the impli- cations. To accept authority over others is to accept responsibility for their well-being. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many people have the courage of their convictions without ever checking to make sure that they are indeed in the right. Not you. You’ll put it to the test. If you have to fight, you want to be sure you’re fighting for the right side. work past that point. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are things you would like to be certain of, but even if you were, it still wouldn’t bring you the security you seek; it would give you only the illusion of security. So consider letting go of your ques- tions and the need to predict life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People sometimes oppose one another without know- ing why and then look for faults and other reasons that will delegitimize the opposition. It’s a game. Take the high road. Don’t play. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve had advocates and champions in your life, so you know what the role is and how it’s best played. Take it on for yourself today. Be the support you need and deserve. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Perhaps the idea of a peaceful world is too far into fanta- syland to be a reasonable possibility, but what about peace in your own heart? Whatever is keeping that from happening, it can be overcome. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Relationships get interesting -- and maybe even spectacu- lar. This is, in no small part, because of your expectations. You either didn’t know what to expect or weren’t expecting much, and now it’s all a delightful surprise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In an effort to be understood, some will explain so much of the process that it actually makes things a lot more complicated. As you go about your day, seek simplicity. Simplicity needs less explana- tion, not more. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a coin toss feel to the day. Though you’re interested in the outcome, you don’t have a preference about which way it lands. You don’t mind what happens because you’re covered regardless. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re conscien- tious and you want to help, so you think about what you’re going to say. Maybe you don’t need to worry so much about this. The right words follow the right thoughts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a point in which the knife cannot get any sharper. If you keep sharpening it past that point, it will blunt. Know when your work is done, and then don’t FRANK AND ERNEST BLONDIE THATABABY SALLY FORTH PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN B.C.
