The reporter was really good, asked me some really insightful questions. Glad the story turned out well!

All you need to do is get tell one of the reporter's your gay and looking for a hubby and then that 1-10% of the population who are gay men will come will come flocking to you!

Haha, I doubt the reporter would publish that. It's not like people care. :)

Well... if he was gay... I can see how he might care (not saying he would publish that)

PS.  That is cool iago. :)

Fine, 1% that admit it, 10% that ARE. :)

I'd be surprised at 20%, but who knows? Maybe it's a single recessive gene, making it 25% :)

FWIW, and totally offtopic, but I found out today that a friend from grade 7 (and onwards) is gay. I've never known him very well, but I've probably known him longer than anybody else (who isn't family).

awwww... childhood sweetheart.  CALL HIM RONALD!

Haha, he was probably one of the first people to call me 'Ron' :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
