Bossypants, by Tina Fey
Two great quotes from Tina Fey’s Bossypants, emphasis added for how she read it on audiobook (The audiobook? Cat’s ass):
First, from her high-school years, doing plays in the summertime, with everyone from young kids to adults:
“I viscerally felt that what [my gay male friends] were about to do [hook up] was icky. The stomach ache I felt had nothing to do with a crush.
“I had to face the fact that I had been using my gay friends as *props.* They were always supposed to be funny and entertain me and praise me and listen to my problems and *their* life was supposed to be a secret that no one wanted to hear about. I *wanted* them to stay in the half-closet.
“Equity actor Shawn Kenny did not live in the half-closet. He had moved away to New York and was just back for a visit. He was a grown man. My reaction to his hooking up with Richard Diatelis [a man in his 20s, not a high-schooler like Tina] made me feel like [homophobe] Coach Garth. I stroked my thick blond mustache and thunk about what I’d done.
“It was a major and *deeply* *embarrassing* teenage revelation. It must be how straight teenage boys feel like when they realize that those boobs they like have heads attached to them. I thought I knew everything after that first summer. ‘Being gay is not a choice.’ ‘Gay people were made that way by God’ I’d lectured Mr. Garth proudly, but it took me another whole year to figure out the second part: gay people were made that way by God, **but not solely for my entertainment.** We can’t expect our gay friends to always be single, celibate, and arriving early with the nacho fixin’s.
“And we really need to let these people *get* *married* already.”
- Tina Fey, Bossypants
“Gay people don’t actually try to convert people. That’s Jehovah’s Witnesses you’re thinking of. No one was ever turned gay by being at Summer Showtime, because that’s not possible. If you could turn gay by being around gay people, wouldn’t Kathy Griffin be Rosie O’Donnell by now?”

Old School Time: Emily
A wonderfully terrible video for a nostalgic 1987 song that is still, in some ways, quite good. (Although not with synth.)
Btw, I hope the wings she was waiting for weren’t from Always brand maxi pads. -
