About choosing my sexuality, carole has the right of it. If I had had a choice, why would I want this life? Why would I choose to have fewer rights than "normal" people? Why would I choose to have to be looking over my shoulder when I leave a Gay owned establishment because of the number of hate crimes? I love my girlfriend with all my heart. She makes me glad to be who I am. But there are times, like now, when I almost wish it had been a choice. Then I can choose to be straight, and not have to worry about all this BS.

For the most part it seems the GLBT community has a lot of support on here, and for that I thank you. Sometimes it seems as if our friends are few and far-between.
