I apparently have a lot to say today-- that's because I've had three days off in a row and finally feel rested.

Instead of saying "it's not a choice", which I think you all know by now that I have a problem with, I propose we say that being gay/queer/whatever is "not negotiable".

I got this idea from an interview with Tyler Clementi's mother. She also has some other wisdom to share in this article, although it is painful to read.

I like "not negotiable".

"not negotiable" is something I've been wanting to say for years. Thanks for sharing.

It fits. Has the right combo of affirming self-worth and prescribing desired behavior.

Rad, woman.
