Man is a hunter; there is no question about it. While nearly all simians are vegetarians (chimpanzees will eat meat when they can successfully get it), man has made the definitive leap from herbivore to omnivore. We don’t have fanged teeth, but we might as well.

When I am hungry I go to the grocery store, and when I need caffeine, I hunt for a green logo on a building, and gather me a Venti White Mocha Frappachino. Life’s not that tough, no Woolly Mammoths, whose paths I need to avoid, and no Saber Toothed like creatures resembling today’s Siberian Tigers to worry about in North America.

I’m a gay man, I’m openly gay and I’m somewhat ‘post pride’, I simply want to live my life openly and have the fact of my homosexuality be no more important than my head being bald or my eyes being blue.
