I've no problem with gay people, never had. Except one dude, in London, when I was passing through at age 18, who tried to seduce me and was a bit of a pain in the ass. Women probably experience that every day, more or less.

@georgetakei
To each his own, is all I have to say. Unless you put a knife to my throat and ask for my wallet you can do what you want.

@georgetakei
And I respect it. I respect the feelings. The love. I understand that it isn't in any way different from what's going on between men and women. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

@georgetakei
In case you wonder how anyone would "pass though" London, I was headed for Scotland. The holy land. It was, at least, until I found out that their home-grown whisky is even more expensive than the same product sold on the continent, due to taxation.

You know, in the UK they go to some lengths to discourage peeps from boozing.

@georgetakei
Island, seafaring nation, having been there you can put 2 and 2 together, and understand what might have given cause to those kinds of concerns.

You know, 3 months out on the ocean, crammed together on a tiny ship with plenty of other, not too well smelling men, there's nothing like a strong drink that would give you some comfort.
