-
- There is no such thing as a "gay." Some people have impulses that
- are stronger in one direction than in another. People choose to act
- on one set of impulses or another, or none.
-
- They either lie to themselves by choosing against their stronger impulses
- or are true to themselves and choose against the weaker ones...
