Gay people value heterosexuality OVER homosexuality.It's sick.After hundreds of millions of gay people throughout history were forced to live by straight people's demands or else gay people should be disgusted by those overlords instead of worshipping them.Gross.Michael Jensen and Brian Juergens said they would not talk about MIKA because he's in the closet and that's not supporting the gay "community."Yet they post articles about straight people who have done zero for gay people every day.Stop perpetuating self-hatred.   » Report this comment to administrator Posted by Jonathan Wright, on 06-03-2008 07:07, 2. Wow... You really don't like yourself do you - this is the 'hottest' list, not the best gays list, etc. It's who we find the most attractive, and your saying that we can't find straight men attractive eh?    Shame...   » Report this comment to administrator Posted by Van, on 06-03-2008 13:14, 3.
