I have read both of those.  I was more interested in Dwarves and probably won't go to the show.

Also throwing that up there for anyone else.

[i am gay and i like cats]

i wonder, if the queers, are indeed, that?

[Rogue Riderhood]

Probably not. 

Also, Dwarves members are not that short either.  Misleading right?

how, queer, of you

[azaghal1981]

One thing I've wondered for years: When did "queer" go from being an epithet to a word that the gay community fully embraced? I still feel weird saying it even though it's apparently OK now.
