  • (..) Yeah, bro. You're gay. But the offers still keep rolling in, naturally. Look at me. And, hey, I love women. They're beautiful, majestic, mysterious, mesmerizing creatures. Smart, empathetic. Far superior to men in every way. And if I had a choice, I would be with women to my dying day. (..)
