We're all gay deep inside

Since I am the only person in my family who has the afternoon free from work or any real responsibility, I have the privilege of driving my little sister home from her school, which is sixteen miles away. I also get to drive two of her friends with us. All of them are high school freshmen and their conversations are usually about their classes, their friends (and the inevitable gossip of who's dating who), sex, and then ADD kicks in and they start making fun of people in adjacent cars while I'm driving.

To put things simply, they talk a lot of shit.

Every once in a while, they'll talk about the many gays and lesbians they have in their school. My high school had a good number of GLBT (well, not so many of the T) people, many of whom were my friends and a few that I dated, so I'm not exactly as straight as most people believe me to be.

Anyway, I'm driving these high school freshmen for sixteen miles, which is approximately 45 minutes. It's bearable most of the time, but there are moments where I have to listen to them talk about how disgusting all of these gay people are.

Yes, homophobia is still alive! Praise the lord! MAY ALL who are gay, who abort their unborn babies, and who engage in doggy-style sex BURN IN HELL! Amen and hallelujah!

*cough cough*

One of these girls seems to be vehemently against gay people. I remember when I started driving these girls, that this particular one would talk about gay pride a lot of the time. It was sort of like she was saying, "Oh, gay pride is cool!" when I heard her talk about it. And now? She says, "Lesbians are nasty!" "I saw these two girls kissing in the hallway. It was gross." "Eeew, gay people!"

It makes me sad to know that my sister's friends act this way...only because they can't admit this fact to themselves: All of us (e.g. you, me, President Bush, etc.) are gay.

Deny it all you want.
