93. "Lifestyle"

Thu Feb 21, 2013, 11:10 AM

Feb 2013

Being gay is being gay. Some people are just gay. Some people are gay and celebrate it, like my friend, who has a girl name along with his real name. He chooses to hang out in drag bars, and is very outgoing, as opposed to people we all know who are just "gay." IOW, it is a "lifestyle." Just as being a surfer is a "lifestyle" or any other "lifestyle" one might choose. I didn't say it was a "choice," if that is what you are inferring. Gay, straight, or in-between, and don't think ANYONE should be forced to have another person wrap their legs around one's head, clothed or unclothed. You're just making assumptions that one of these teenagers might have been gay, therefore it was wrong to have a female stripper. It's an assumption not backed up anywhere in the story, but I understand your point. The whole damned thing was wrong! It matters not whether the stripper or the kids were male or female.
