And For Me, It Is A Choice. I Understand That For Many People Its Not, But For Me Its A Choice, And You Dont Get To Define My Gayness For Me. A Certain Section Of Our Community Is Very Concerned That It Not Be Seen As A Choice, Because If Its A Choice, Then We Could Opt Out. I Say It Doesnt Matter If We Flew Here Or We Swam Here, It Matters That We Are Here And We Are One Group And Let Us Stop Trying To Make A Litmus Test For Who Is Considered Gay And Who Is Not.

I Have A Cousin, A Second Cousin, Who Lives In L.a., And She Was With Me While I Was Getting Ready. She Was Talking About Her Father And His Brothers. And I Remember My Mother's Tales Of How Competitive They Were With Each Other And How They Would Play For Blood, You Know. And I Thought - I'm An Only Child, And I Don't Know What That's Like. I Have To Figure Out The Southern Thing.
