I’m straight…and if I had the choice, would be completely and comfortably bi. Why suffer under limitations if they aren’t needful or beneficial? ("… immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.")

ETA: also, seriously, I suffer from a mild degree of homophobia, and I don’t like it. I don’t want to be that kind of person. At very least, if I could be born all over again, I’d choose to do away with such feelings.
