I just never accepted that. I’m a heterosexual. I don’t know what anyone can say to me to make me sexually be with a man.”</p></blockquote><p>Which is exactly what Patrick from Sean Cody said before he became that site&#8217;s resident luscious and much-loved bottom.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.akawilliam.com/ny-senate-wannabe-today-i-believe-that-homosexuality-is-not-a-choice-tomorrow/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
