Yay! *hugs* I signed into my email account the other day, saw how many there were and went "OMG ALEXANDRIA IS BACK." Or something of the sort. Hee.
a gay person can "learn" to be straight, a straight person could teach themselves to be gay
I know what you mean. Like if a gay person is raised in a strict Catholic family, or they feel forced to marry someone of the opposite sex or something. For example. Which is always sad, because they don't really love the other person like husband and wife should, and it could become miserable. That's one thing I don't like about Catholicism (and, well, pretty much every religion) - how we're taught to love and that God accepts us for who we are, and that we're all his children, yet homosexuals are ostracized. And blah. Usually I'd go more in-depth with my argument but I'm not feeling very argumentative right now.
I want a gay uncle.
You should totally get one. Mine is awesome. He's always been awesome and lots of fun (because he's such a big child), but it wasn't until I actually realised he was gay (and he knew I knew he was gay) that I really began to appreciate his company. And now that I'm older he can joke around with me a lot more on his level, and also talk about more grown-up things. I know it's a cliche (and a stereotype), but it really is like having another girlfriend or someone to talk to and take me shopping. Even though he's not really girly. Like, you couldn't tell he was gay just by looking at him. By listening to his music collection you could *giggles* I always tease him about that.
The last one that I saw definitely tried for some reason to talk me out of becoming a doctor
I'm making my WTF? face right now. Just so you know. That's so weird. Usually people encourage you to become a doctor. Because medicine was a very respectable career last time I checked.
That totally needs to be the basis of a cartoon. I would watch.
