Did you know that in order to be really gay, lesbian, or bisexual, you need a reason? And "I'm attracted to girls" isn't really a reason, according to one of my supervisors, which was quickly backed up by San Fransisco co-worker who said all of her gay friends had a reason, like bad experiences with men (or women) or molestation, etc. The ones whose "only" reason is that they are attracted to the same sex are going to wake up one day and realize that they were mistaken.

I wish I was interested in debating, but damn if them getting louder and louder while they say the same damn things *doesn't* win them the fucking argument. I learned that when I used to try and explain "Angel" plots. They don't listen, don't hear, and it's just not worth it.

The one who brought up that being attracted to women isn't a good reason is in her 40s or 50s. The one who said all the 'real' gay people she knows is, I think, around 19 or 20. She's the one from San Fransisco.

I didn't ask if they needed a reason to be straight, because I was too busy trying to get my blood pressure down to acceptable levels. But I *think* that one of the other women was trying to get at that in a round-about way.
