can we add "Who you love is who you love, and it doesn’t matter." - ADC as next title suggestion please?

[kiss the wind]

I'll add that right now, Tina. That's a great future title.

Kind of got into a discussion with my friend about it tonight, it was a good talk, but then I though about it and can't even remember if I'm really out to her or not. I saw something earlier about the weird place it is to be half out and half not, like out to some people but not to others. Rang totally true.

I think being a lesbian icon was kind of a shock to her at first, but she seems pretty cool with it.
