63. dunno about the Left in general, but if you're gay, you're cool with me. Unless
you're an unpleasant person, of course. Being gay doesn't doesn't mean one damn negative thing to me at all, but doesn't buy anything with me either.

I'll judge you by how likeable you are, without any other considerations.

How's that for fair? And it's true. I really do think that way.
