(paraphrased from Last Comic Standing last night)
"If someone's truly afraid of the dark, you don't call him a bigot. You don't shove him into a dark cupboard to help him get over it.
But, with homophobia, there's an entirely different stigma. What if the person literally had a traumatic experience growing up? Like, a homosexual jumped out of the closet and sat on them or something?

The Largening Lesbian
A new study from the American Journal of Public Health states that lesbians are twice as likely as heterosexual women to be overweight or obese.
What conclusion do you jump to after seeing that statistic?
The conclusion the article jumps to is that "lesbian women must have a better body image than heterosexual women."
Was that yours?
