“If I was gay, I wouldn t need an asterisk beside my name. I could stop worrying if the girl I like will bounce when she finds out I also like dick. I could have a coming-out party without people thinking I just want attention. I wouldn t have to explain that I fall in love with minds, not genders or body parts. People wouldn t say I m just a slut or faking it or undecided or confused. I m not confused. I don t categorize people by who I m allowed to like and who I m allowed to love. Love doesn t fit into boxes like that. It s blurry, slippery, quantum. It s only limited by our perceptions and before we slap a label on it and cram it into some category, everything is possible.”

Our genes govern us much more than we d like to think. Our bodies can not know absolute freedom but our minds can, can at least try.”
