Reply #56: My neighbor was like you used to be

[Rambis]

He said he hated gay people because he didn't understand how you could choose to be gay or something along those lines.
He really is a nice guy just hasn't been anywhere but a small town. I said, "so when did you realize you were straight"? He laughed and thought about it. I said,"come on when did you make the decision (choose) you liked girls and not boys?"
He said, "It is just the way I am and it was never a choice?

I said there you go buddy! He said, "wow you know I have never thought about it that way" He was genuinely enlightened. He was worth staying around to talk to because of the kind of guy he is. Our other neighbors are a lost cause and I don't associate with them because of their anti gay rhetoric and support of the chimp. Being a republican is a character flaw IMHO and I don't waste my time with people like that.
