He's got a girl he's into back home. It's just clothes, dude.

Your teenage dream involved being radioactive?

[mrsklover]

I read a lot of comics. Don't judge me.

And sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything. Gonna end up proving Reagan right about gay people an their agendas, huh?

[the_freak]

It's not as fun as the comics make it seem.

No. Sorry. I'm not uncomfortable or anything, really. He's just not into guys.

[mrsklover]

Ah. That is actually the minority around here, if you'd believe it. Poor guy.

[the_freak]

It is?

[mrsklover]

Yeah. Not sure why, but most of the guys around here have either been in relationships with guys or are right now. I almost had a heart attack when I was still in the closet.

Which I'm not, now. But I came out on my own time and on my own terms. Which, you know. Is fine.

[the_freak]

How much of a minority are we talking?

[mrsklover]

Honestly? I am pretty sure your friend is like in the 10% or less. There's a lot of kids so I don't know which way they'll go when they grow up, but almost all the guys I am friends with? Yeah. Gay.

[the_freak]

[Shit, did he not include himself in that minority? And how to casually reinsert himself without obviously over compensating!?]

Wow that's...really different.

[mrsklover]

Yeah. Yeah, but it's pretty nice to not have to pretend, ya know?

A lot of people also found love which is nice, I guess.

[the_freak]

I guess it would be, yeah.

That must be nice.

[mrsklover]

It is, from what I can tell.

I mean, I did have my own Eddie here for awhile. And that was pretty fucking nice.

But yeah. Everyone else being happy is pretty nice, too. It's nice to see it when you know how it was sometimes back at home.

[the_freak]

Eddie's do tend to be.

You say that like it's changed any back home.

[mrsklover]

You'd be surprised, dude.

Gay people can get married now. Adopting kids. Have a whole month when stores sell rainbow shit and talk about how much they support queer people so we give them money.

It's pretty different. Not perfect, but it got better. A whole lot better. AIDS isn't even a death sentence anymore.

[the_freak]

No way shit changed that fast. Or that much. You're bullshitting.

[mrsklover]

Nah, I'm not gonna lie about this stuff. Not that it's perfect. I was in the closet for some good reasons and people are still gonna be bigots.

But its way better. Reagan would hate it.

[the_freak]

Anything Reagan hates has gotta be good.

[mrsklover]

EXACTLY! I bet he'd love polos too.

Maybe use that with your friend.

[the_freak]

Shit, I don't actually know what he thinks of Reagan.

Eh, he likes the dumb polos, I can deal.

[mrsklover]

You can deal with his polos?

Hm.

[the_freak]

Hm? What Hm?

[mrsklover]

Nothing, nothing.

Just interesting.

[the_freak]

Spit it out.

[mrsklover]

That's just nice.

This guy must be special to you.

[the_freak]

It's not a big deal.
He helped save my life.
And I spent the last...however long thinking he was an utter douche, but apparently he's actually a pretty cool guy.
