Fine, he doesn't hate it, but I do believe I am interpreting his sentiments correctly... What the 'F' do you think my agenda is?

They were willing to die for me the same as a straight guy would have been. The heterosexual pride events you speak of are: any sanctioned school dance, prom, and every other moment that happens not to be a gay pride event.
