A gay island, a lesbian island and a straight island walk into a bar…

The straight island takes a look around and realizes that it’s a gay bar filled with closeted priests, rabbis and Mormon bishops.

Aaaand that’s all I got.

My sister’s partner got kicked out of a lesbian commune in the 70’s because she had the audacity to birth a … boy!

People are really just people, regardless of sexual orientation. There are gems in all persuasions and assholes of all persuasions, and it seems like the assholes tend to be the ones that want the power to tell other people what to do (because telling other people what to do appeals to assholes disproportionately).
