Tell me, on what day were you sitting there thinking and said, hmmm, gay or straight, straight or gay...maybe bisexual...hmmmm...no, i'm going to be straight. If it's a choice for them, it's a choice for you.

My fave was during an argument with an friend of my ex-husband. At one point he says, "I don't believe in gay people"... After the initial shock..I don't believe in gay people, wtf, really??? I said, "We are not F'ing talking about SANTA CLAUS...They exist, they are real, you cannot NOT believe in them, what are you? Two years old???". He called me a bitch and left.
