I thought there was an axis of romance, and one of sexuality, so most people==heteromantic heterosexual, but you could also be heteromantic homo/pan/demi/asexual. That the two aren't related.
That's how I understood it.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think I need a chart of some sort here. I thought I had it, and then ita ! confused me again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The problem with the sexual axis is that it isn't a line. Other than that, it's a perfect model.
Nice addition of Matt Cohen to 90210. Discombobulating.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Yeah that is extremely bad form
Also, illegal.
She and her boyfriend claim people do it all the time
People also run stoplights, cheat on their taxes and steal from their employers all the time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh. But I think of my FTM cousin as straight, because he married a woman. It just seemed respectful. He's just not cis. Does that mean he's queer? QUILTBAG, maybe, but not queer.
I would call him straight.

Well, nonlinear lines, sure. Those make sense to me.

Yes.
Is there sports going on? I hear whooping. I don't like it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just read where someone was adamantly stating that heteroromantic people were NOT STRAIGHT.
I would just like to say that I cannot read "heteroromantic" without hearing it said by Shaggy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Cats are easily startled, Connie.
I think I would call a FTM who preferred women straight. But I would think that him adopting "queer" as a term would also jibe with my thoughts on queer. (Which are good!)
But an asexual heteromantic would not jibe with what I think of a "queer."
I don't care what people do or don't do with their parts and/or hearts. Using labels in discussions is very confusing.
Someone's always going to be wrong.
ION, I just discovered the crack that is Words with Friends, and it's so irritating that "Saxon" isn't acceptable, but "french" is.
