A little while ago, I found out that a couple of the guys on a message board I frequent are gay. They aren't closeted or anything, it just hadn't come up on the board. Now, consciously, I know that this really doesn't change anything, but every time I see one of them post now, a little voice in the back of my head goes "He's gay."
Even though I haven't noticed any other change in how I perceive them, it really bothers me that some part of my brain latches on to this. I didn't have similar reactions when I found out that people on there were Asian or Black. Why the fuck do I give a shit about this, even on a subconscious level? There are people, some of whom are in love with each other. That's all that matters.
