I think I've just decided, after 50 years of being straight, to be gay.
Can someone direct me to the nearest recruitment center please?

And is this the same place that I turn in my gun?

15. Well, to be fair, there's a catch
You have to turn gay AND get divorced from your hetero spouse to get a toaster...

11. Oh stop!
I'll never forget the time I had that conversation with my best friend Stephen, who was gay. We were both in our early 20's and I asked him the stupid question that all of us straights end up asking, "When did you know you were gay?" He laughed, Stephen had a big, giant honk of a laugh that could be heard by certain mammals miles away, and he said to me, "When the doctor slapped my ass on the day I was born." Of course he turned the question around on me and asked me when I knew I was straight.

I learned a lot from Stephen, he was my best friend and he died of aids in 89, like so many other good friends from that time.

You really made me laugh Jamastiene, thanks.

19. I do know that ........ I saw the post about the show
We do not choose who we are only how we choose to live that life.
How honest we can be to that person that lives inside of us.

20. I have a man crush on Matt Damon.
There, I've said it and I'm proud. I've also found I tend to have crushes on women that I later find out are gay. Cynthia Nixon, Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres, along with Stephanie Miller. I wonder what that says about me.

22. I'll give you gay lessons.
After 50 years of it I've gotten to be pretty good at it. The final exam will be tough, though. You might be up all night cramming for it.
