When I was a kid, and I was odd, the default assumption was that I was odd, not that I was gay. Now when a kid is odd in a Greensburg, gay or straight, the default assumption is gay.
From Dan Savage
To be a straight person and discover you're infertile is almost like discovering you're not a straight person.
In an open adoption agreement, you agree to a minimum number of visits - a floor, not a ceiling. It's enforceable.
A certain tiny percentage of everyone is gay.
There are so many people out there with less shame talking about their problems.
No, I'm not good looking.
The bullied straight kid goes home to a shoulder to cry on and support and can talk freely about his experience at school and why he's being bullied. I couldn't go home and open up to my parents.
I don't write about my life in my column.
I don't like to think about what school was like for me.
It's going to take generations of gay people marrying before these things start to feel natural. We haven't had it long enough to remake it as our own, so it does feel like you're getting dressed up in straight drag to do it.
