wow, that was the condensed version? my, my Columbus... Thank you so much, and I agree with everything you've said. There is truth to all stereotypes, however small - the problem arises when people let themselves become the stereotype, and are then cast that way permanently by media and society. Even now if you listen to metal and don't wear eyeliner... people don't think that's something a gay guy would be. The gay guys who wear black are scene/emo twinks - metal heads are straight... aren't they?
Bay's gonna do well with his chance, he's got a good reason to try.
