Give the Gays What We Want!

*Gasp*

Remember when credible reports of a person's sexuality came from a person? Neither do I. As long as orientation is the subject of gossip blogs and sensationalized tabloids, it'll be treated as some scandalous personality flaw.

Silver Fox

Sunday morning, 2 a.m.  A night of cocktails, lots of cocktails.  It’s time to head home after spending too much time chatting up a (too confused) bisexual guy at 1181.  No need for companionship tonight, especially confused companionship.
