We don't invent our natures. They're issued to us along with our lungs, our pancreas and everything else.
It's not surprising to me that in a country born of racial genocide, the issue of race is still an open wound on the American soul. We haven't dealt with it.
We're a divided country on sexual issues. That's why every news cycle brings more controversy.
I think that people should be paying a lot more attention to other issues, rather than who's the top 10 this or... who's the sexiest or the most beautiful.
