The Color of Sky on Earth

Hoon wanted to know once why gay guys like House music so much, and so I told him it was on account of our hypothalamuses. It was the most scientific-sounding reason I could come up with. They’re these little glands in the brain, and some professor in Sweden did a study showing that they’re supposedly bigger in gay dudes. So I told Hoon that’s why we can’t resist righteous House divas or throbbing beats, why we’re so artistic and good at decorating, wear bright colors and expensive shoes, sip wine instead of beer, and prefer dick. Or whatever. It’s all just stupid stereotypes anyway, right? 

Except the liking dick part, obviously...
