Some start there and become more. It's not really any different, I don't think, than most relationship contexts... well, maybe escept for the screaming. hehe

And it exposes their narrow-mindedness even as much as their assertion that all our lives need to fit inside these neat little boxes that some mythical being decided thousands of years ago. (sigh) Sad little creatures... There should be a rescue where such malcontents can be nursed back to full adulthood and released back into the wild.
