I don't understand why you stay here, yet continue to live in total ignorance.

It's easy to remain in total ignorance despite visiting here regularly if that is the state you are most comfortable in, and you make a choice before even visiting for the first time that you will see only what you want to see.

Also, my newest friend doesn't come here to gain insight and knowledge, he comes here to vent and make himself feel better about his own alleged "improper" feelings by attacking the most convenient target. In his own way, he needs this place as much as we do, even as antis in general need us as an opportunistic outlet for their strong inner need to hate someone or something. They perceive us as the personified manifestation of their own inner demons, based on a very narrow view of what constitutes "proper" sexual expression.
