The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time - it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine.
No, I've never thought that I was gay. And that's not something you think. It's something you know.
I think it's always good for gay people to come out, but it's also understandable why people might choose not to do so.
A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle somewhere on my body. That's okay.

For me, it wasn't that big a deal.
