I try to understand...but some straight people are just irksome.

Especially when they try to convince you that gay people who've decided to go straight became happier.

Really now? You're straight, what do you know about what they're going through? Of course, they won't tell you if they're miserable!  You're straight. You cannot even begin to imagine the internal struggle gay people have to live with.

Irritating line of the day:

They're happier because they're living normal lives now.

Response:

If by "normal" you mean, tricking some poor straight member of the opposite sex into marrying us just so we can live a standard lifestyle, where genuine passion does not exist, well...I think we should start redefining the word "happy" as well.

(The irony is, most of the straight women that utter that preposterous line don't even like being touched by their husbands. One of them actually told me she wishes he'd get a mistress so he'd leave her alone. Sure has a funny way of defining "happiness" within the boundaries of marriage. She may be happy, but I doubt if her husband would be happy to know that his touch disgusts her...)
