TV Made Me Gay

You know what happened to me this weekend? I watched a show on TV -- a rerun of Glee, actually.

And suddenly, this weird feeling came over me. It started in my fingers, a kind of tingling sensation. It went up my arm and into my chest. Then, through my whole body. I felt like I was on fire. My heart started pounding and I began sweating all over. I felt terribly dizzy so I lay down to try and get a grip.

And then, suddenly, it stopped. As quickly as it began. I ran to the mirror and looked at my reflection staring back at me. And then I realized...

That TV Show had turned me gay.

Ok, ok. None of that happened. I'm not gay. I do actually like Glee though (well, the first season, anyway). But this story -- about as believable as an alien abduction -- is an anecdote many people out there would have you believe.

P.S. tv didn't make you straight because, clearly, the LGBT community needs you
