- Lisa,
- Have you found it strange (read that as funny or disgusting) that when
- you do come out to friends, their reaction is that you immediately
- are going to come on to them? Some of my male friends who are super-

- object of my desire. That's when I tell them "I wouldn't fuck you if
- you were the last man on earth!"
