Day 15: Be Gay for a Day

"As James Dean said, why go through life with one hand tied behind your back?"

Short of going out and having sex with a dude, I wasn't really sure what to do for this one. I can't force myself to find men attractive and it would be hard to start randomly hitting on a guy. So I decided that I would take this time to appreciate some awesome gay guys from throughout history.

See? Gay people can be pretty awesome. I don't understand how, especially in today's day and age, people can hate other people for being gay. Another person being gay couldn't possibly have any effect on anybody else's life but their own. I would see where it could be understandable if gays were running around trying to rape everybody molest children or something, but clearly that's not the case and that would be horrible regardless of whether the person is gay or not. My opinion: whatever other people do with their genitals is of no concern to me. I may be biased, but then again I come from a state where gay marriage is practically encouraged.
