AP Sorry, I didn't realize my sexuality precluded me from discussing this. Thanks for letting me know the rules. Nice assumption about my sexuality too, it's a pleasure to see you have your own stereotypes. Great, wonderful, Quinn is gay. Let's all be happy about it and then focus on something besides her personal life. I couldn't care less whether a person is straight, gay, or likes to fuck fire hydrants, as long as they do their job well, which Quinn does. Don't try and take away attention from her merits and track record by focusing on her sexuality. There's more to her than that, and you know it.

Jeff, I'm guessing you aren't queer. We are told we're wrong, unnatural, unsafe around children, etc., and we're subject to violence & discrimination. We still need proud queer role models, so just relax and please do not say sexuality is no longer an issue if you're straight.

"On the newscasts I was watching, they didn't mention that Quinn is gay, which I thought was interesting." Did it ever cross your mind that maybe it wasn't mentioned because no one cares anymore? Can we please just be OVER sexuality as a adjective? Sexuality is boring, who cares, let's focus on something else. I'm glad it's not being reported.

note to John Liu: it is outrageous to claim that "chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate fudge swirl ice cream" are at all alike.

I guess this officially confirms that the smoking ban is gay.
