While in Japanese restaurant

Waitress – ‘I had this myself the other day and I know you think well this is like foreign food so I’m not sure if i’ll like it – but its at actually really good’

Princess – ‘Actually we quite like foreign food, that’s why we are here’

Waitress ‘oh’

I didn’t want to come out. I don’t want coming out to be a thing that anyone has to do.

A short list of things I’d rather be doing than “thinking about being gay” includes (but is not limited to) writing a song, reading a book, climbing a tree, dancing a jig, and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the zillionth time. Don’t get me wrong – I think it is in the best interest of everyone to strive for a greater understanding of the self. I just wish that being gay (or transgender, or asexual, or fill-in-the-blank here) was as unremarkable to the masses as being left-handed or blonde.”
