Homophobia whether internalized or externalized is really fear; it's not hatred, it's fear. It's fear of the truth about ourselves.
I believe that there are moments in sex that are so awesome that they actually reflect God.
I felt, and often still feel, unable to live up to the ideals I really hold,
Personally, I'd rather have pins stuck in my eyes than endure a conversation with John Kerry, but I'd love to hang with Bush.
