I Don't Know What to Think, But My Brain Does...

I learned tonight that one of my best friends from highschool is gay. Now this stirs all sorts of emotions, questions, and thought processes, all of which may be written about at a later date. But the two most immediate, most pronounced, and most worth repeating (and the ones over which I had little to no conscious control) are, "Wow, I've never met a real, life gay person before," followed closely by, "Wrecked 'em?! Damn near killed 'em!"
