Hope Mingled with Despair

I’ve heard straight guys say “I’m totally gay for [insert male actor, usually Brad Pritt, here].”

Wishes

I wish celebrities over 40 were allowed to grow old gracefully, instead of being pressured to starve themselves and inject toxins into their skin to try to look 25.

I wish atheism wasn’t against the law in Arkansas, that Christian charity could be extended to include non-Christians living in the Bible Belt.

What do you wish for?
