What is with this campy fixation on all things Ronald Reagan? They talk about him the way gay people talk about Barbra Streisand. I think they want him on a stamp so they can lick his ass. I think they wanted to name airports after him so they can say, 'I'm coming into Reagan!'

In order to not have to deal with being gay in the world, you have to control everything. You try and walk in an un-gay way so as not to be found out.
