on my fav online home, the Total War Centre, gay is currently a very popular theme, with gay rights, sexuality, and gay marriage arguments all going strong, between the liberals the conservatives the catholics and the idiots on the board.

with 4000+ members, and only 5 openly gay, and 6 openly bi, we have things stacked against us...

anyways, one of the members quoted an interesting comment in a thread about what makes you gay...

typically, the conservatives were all going on about people choosing to be gay, and the people who actually had experiance were countering with the born theory, i know i never chose...
and a guy called Aristophanes came up with this gem

"It is quite possible that intelligence plays a great part in this; from what I have heard, gays and bisexuals are smarter/more creative, on average, than other people... What if being 'gay' is merely manifestation of high enough intellectual awareness to be able to question what others take as 'given'"
and i thought about it... and i thought about the gay people i know... and strangely he's right... almost all the gay people i know ARE more intelligent than the average person... is there a link... i wonder..

Odi et amo: quare id faciam, fortasse requiris.
Nescio, set fieri sentio et excrucior
