If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

The choice or challenge has gotten me in trouble a couple of times.

The choice of challenge, of course, is when a right-wing Republican politician says that being gay is a choice,

We should discriminate against it in housing and public accommodation and marriage.

And get with the,

you know, equal 14th Amendment applies to the Queers 2 modern tomorrow thing, but at least you don't

think it's a choice. And speaking of gay marriage, which is an issue that is plaguing and dividing

Republicans, which is nice to see because it used to be an issue that divided Democrats. Now they're all having to go on the record about whether or not they would go
