I don't know if this is true but girls last longer if you know what I mean

b0i70y · 24th Jan 2012, 01:43 PM

Being Awesome.

Charni · 24th Jan 2012, 01:44 PM

We have rainbows!

biAnnika · 24th Jan 2012, 02:03 PM

When you're driving, and someone is giving you directions and says "go straight", you can say "screw you!"

malachite · 24th Jan 2012, 02:19 PM

we're outsiders.
since we don't really fit in we don't have to worry about fitting in.
People are always so worried about being accepted and being one with the pack. We don't have to worry about that.....so I guess what I'm saying is FREEDOM!!!!!

midwestgirl89 · 24th Jan 2012, 02:19 PM

Glitter, rainbows, and unicorns are just awesome. And pride parades are full of glitter & rainbows. So yay us!

And "The only straight I am is straight up bitch" would be the best line to use ever.

I agree with this statement.

BudderMC · 24th Jan 2012, 02:28 PM

So many puns involving use of the word "straight".

fiddledeedee · 24th Jan 2012, 02:35 PM

I'd never have found you lot without questioning myself, though perhaps discovering EC was a bad thing –*look how much time I've wasted on here!

Nah, based on a very biased sample (I've never knowingly met an LGBT person face-to-face), I have concluded that gay people are inexplicably more awesome than straight ones.

..."variety is the spice of life?"

Zontar · 24th Jan 2012, 02:59 PM

I get to enjoy bottoming.

I also have added incentive to take care of myself, since men care about that sort of thing.

Also, it's way easier to get into drag. =)

Hidinginalabama · 24th Jan 2012, 06:06 PM

We are just awesome just that simple.

solarcat · 24th Jan 2012, 07:30 PM

Constant jokes.

"Oh, the picture's not straight."
"So? Neither am I."
--
"The fruit stained the bowl."
"I did not!"
--

Also, the ability to like glitter and rainbows without caring what other people think.

55butnotalive · 24th Jan 2012, 07:41 PM

Personally, I think it's awesome that I get to use both sides of my brain and I mean that in all seriousness!!

Mlpguy88 · 24th Jan 2012, 07:47 PM

Definitely. Or "you're straight on!" - "actually, I'm a little curved"

Shades of Gray · 24th Jan 2012, 08:07 PM

I've encountered few positives, but I do love making (presumably) straight men feel very uncomfortable by making them think I'm flirting with them

. Kind of a way of getting back to those types of guys that bullied me in youth.

crazyhead · 25th Jan 2012, 10:47 PM

I don't have to have sex with women. It doesn't really seem like it counts, but it's really a deal-breaker for me.
