Credits: (3; 2 in the half-term).

Just because you happen to be a gay man doesn't mean that you don't have to learn how to become one."

Last I heard, being gay was simply a state of being sexually attracted to the same sex. Not much to learn. Sounds more like a "how to become a stereotype" class to me.

"Just because you happen to be a gay man doesn't mean that you don't have to learn how to become one."

I can't keep a straight face when I read that. I mean, what is that even supposed to imply? If a person is already a homosexual, why would they still need to "learn how to become one"? It makes no sense. People probably only take this class for the lulz.

"I can't believe this is a class."

I can.

If it can be done someone will do it regardless on whether they "should" do it. Nothing really surprises me anymore.
