39. Doesn't it seem odd ...
... that this question would be posted in the General Discussion area instead of in the GLBT board where there might actually be some GLBT folks who would answer it?

I guess some DUers just don't like associating with "those people."

Geez, it's no wonder a lot of us don't venture out beyond the GLBT board because of all the thinly veiled homophobia out there among supposedly liberal straight folks.
