I can't choose drapes nor serve canapes. My home lacks proper decor and I lack proper decorum. If I had to choose between affection and sex, I'd choose affection. Though I'd rather have both, I've lived the life of a monk for years and years because I demand genuine affection and love with sex. I hear gays are criticized for averaging hundreds of sex partners per year, and for group sex and for anonymous sex, especially in parks and bathrooms. So then, am I gay then or not? Who could tell? Every time you put referendums in front of the people that favor gay rights, the referendums are voted down. If you want to win rights, win them there. Don't allow tyrannical judges to rule you instead, not for any reason, because the tyrant that favors you today will be replaced by the tyrant that favors your opponent tomorrow. That's a recipe that leads to bombs and terrorism rather than mutual individual respect. So, dear Democrats, don't agonize over whether to transgenderize or not to transgenderize. Put it to a referendum, put it to the people; and see what the people REALLY think! There’s no hope for me, since I have ZERO capability with home decor. I can’t choose drapes nor serve canapes.

I'm sorry about your friend's death, by the way. He sounds like a guy with a great sense of humor and a hard headed streak of common sense.

The resulting interview was rather awkward, until my friend hit upon the idea of complimenting the drapes and decor in the interviewer's office, in order to telegraph that yes, he had the gay bona fides.

And if you _don't_ know, how could you discriminate? So...wouldn't this require that the applicant identify him/herself as gay in order for this to apply?

The Dem leaders would be spinning in circles, waving their arms, while sparks and smoke shoot out of their ears.

This coersion should be called by what it really is - gay special rights. Right?
