Know I do then it wont go ajar, For then and on for eons afar.

Any stupid moves or I will kick your ass!" A3 (another lady): I will call out for help! Others answers were more or less in the same notes. Incredible answers! Its so painful to hear such bigotry from the so-called best personalities. Homosexuality is dreaded by our society. M...
