And yet people feel the need to ask them both of queer people.

Yes.

And questions along the lines of 12 with statistics pretty much overheard from some random conversation on a bus. "I heard gays are 95% more likely to...". Yeah right.
innerbrat: (wtf)

I have an original Kindle, and I don't think I'd want a DX - it wouldn't fit in my coat pocket, and I think it would be difficult to read it one-handed on the Tube, which I can do with the original. I'm tempted by the revamped WiFi, though!

That the government acknowledges homeopathy doesn't work, yet is still recommending the NHS continue to provide access to homeopathy is probably the craziest thing I have ever heard.

I fear Cameron's "big society" idea. The idea of giving people more say in, and actually being responsible for running public services sounds good on paper, but has a fundamental weakness IMHO. I fear many people will prove incapable of making sensible, strategic choices.
