Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A map of the US, showing how likely straight people are to want to have a same-sex experience:
Sullivan asks, "What's up with Oregon?" A reader responds (Bicurious Oregon):
I think the answer to your question "What's up with Oregon?" could be answered in one word: Portland. For whatever reason, it seems to be extremely sexually adventurous town. Bisexuality and open relationships don't even raise our eyebrows. Polyamory even edges into the discussion from time to time.
I wish I had some stats on why, but I can only go on my experience. I'm a (99%) straight male that's done more than my fair share of dating and I can't think of a single solidly straight woman I've ever dated here. I've even dated lesbians. How is that possible? You'd have to allow them to explain the complexities of their sexuality because I never got that one myself.
Point is, things that don't fly elsewhere in the country seem to be normal in our little bubble. Also, the percentage of young residents who use OK Cupid in places like Portland is probably much higher than Alabama, the bluest on the OK Cupid map. People tend to settle down early in those parts. The people who escape the South and Midwest (like myself) flee to the coasts - places where being liberal minded about politics, sexuality, and oh, you know, recycling a can, aren't viewed with hostility by their neighbors.
Huh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Maybe he just means he bites his nails.

Occasionally I'll bite a hangnail off and then swallow it. Wow, I'm just like him. (Now to see if my cat will eat goat.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Long pig, baby. He was really insistent that his cubemate know he wasn't talking about anything literally porcine. And his cubemate *so* readily changed the subject.

I hope that guy bites his own ass.

What RPG lets you eat human flesh?
Isn't there one about werewolves? Seems like a bit of long-pig would fit in there pretty easily.

Huh, Utah has more straight people interested in experiment with gay sex than the entire midwest. Go, perverted Salt Lake City!

And what's with all the carrots?
Go, perverted Salt Lake City!
My favorite drag queen friend just moved to SLC for a veeery profitable drag gig. A much larger population than he found in NE. He is amazing with a make-up brush and perfected the mannerisms of Pink, Reba and Michael Jackson.

Salt Lake has a fairly large and quite active gay community. And they're well aware of the cognitive dissonance this can cause for some folks. The Sugarhouse area on the east side is infamous/notorious/wonderful that way. Not coincidentally, the east side is also where the money is. Which makes it interesting, because that side of town is where the high church officials and the politicians live.
