good, i'm glad you all have no problems there [except for Dakkan, but then that's all we'd expect from him...].
special thanks to Alector, you took the words right out of my mouth!

i really hate homophobes, along with any other prejudiced people [*looks for the old 'Pet Peeves' topic]. that's the main reason i don't mention my sexuality to people, so that they learn what i'm like, instead of making assumptions about me.
recently, i went to the Big Youth Theatre Festival, and was talking to Kevin [the God of improvisation] after his workshop, and he was saying how the previous day they had improvised a scene which began with two guys sitting on a park bench. they then took out a copy of 'Pride and Prejudice', and one of them began to read it to the other. then the other began feeding the first pieces of chocolate. nothing about the scene was planned, but it ended up as quite a thoughtful piece, in which one of the boys was actually in love with the other, and it raised all sorts of issues about what someone would do if they were heterosexual, then found out that their best friend was deeply in love with them.
i am not quite in that situation, but i do have a slight crush on the person whom i would count as my best friend, and i know that he is totally straight, so i'm wondering what he'd do if he found out.
