Uh . . . no, we can't. Or at least I can't.
Being gay gives me an entirely different perspective on society.
Events or activities that straight non-thinking people can fully enjoy
have been known to make me ill.
Take a stray comment somebody may make about a four-year-old girl,
implying that she'll have a wedding someday. I frequently get pissed
off when I hear comments like that. Who's to say that the girl is
straight? Or that even if she is, she'll definitely get married?
Just one very small example -- my overall point being, don't make
statements about subjects you know nothing about.
