"i see sexuality and identifying as a different gender confusing!!!"
I've heard this often from my gay friends and sense a bit of tension between them and the transgendered folks. PS. Love the "I love the gays," though most people that say that (straight or otherwise) actually don't. Look, I wish I was pretty enough or rich enough to be gay. I would love to live with a dude and do only dude stuff (but no gay sex stuff), it would rock. No hormones, no dainty food, could swap off on the clothes, do the gym together, bromance. A great tevee, stereo, IKEA furniture, arm wrestlin' about who takes out the trash, farting without blaming it on the dog. 20 PM UTC-6, brine wrote: > As a 58 year old gay man, i see sexuality and identifying as a different > gender confusing!!!
