The 10 Rules of Life
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.

A Heterosexual Questionnaire
- What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
- When and how did you first decide you were heterosexual?
- Is it possible that heterosexuality is a phase that you will grow out of?
- Is it possible that you are heterosexual because you fear the same sex?
- If you have never slept with someone of the same sex, how do you know you wouldn't prefer that? Is it possible you merely need a good gay experience?
- To whom have you disclosed your heterosexuality? How did they react?
- Heterosexuality isn't offensive as long as you leave others alone. Why, however, do so many heterosexuals try to seduce others into their orientation?
- Most child molesters are heterosexual. Do you consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexuals? Heterosexual teachers particularly?
- Why are heterosexuals so blatant, always making a spectacle of their heterosexuality? Why can't they just be who they are and not flaunt their sexuality by kissing in public, wearing wedding rings, etc.?
- How can you have a truly satisfying relationship with someone of the opposite sex, given the obvious physical and emotional differences?
- Heterosexual marriage has total societal support, yet over half of all heterosexuals who marry this year will divorce. Why are their so few successful heterosexual relationships?
- Given the problems heterosexuals face, would you want your children to be heterosexual? would you consider aversion therapy to try to change them?

You don't have to be gay to be gay on the inside.
You don't have to be gay to be gay on the inside. Anyone can do it! It just requires three things:
(1) consider that you might be different from the way people think you are;
(2) consider that you might be different from the way you think you are supposed to be;
(3) be willing to accept that other people may disapprove of your choices, and realize that their approval doesn't matter all that much anyway.
Get past those things, and you can start thinking about what you really need to be in order to be your true self.
