“My
girlfriend
was
a
lifeguard,
and
she
died
trying
to
save
someone
else.
She
had
a
spirit
unlike
anyone
you’ve
ever
met,
and
she
always
had
a
feather
in
her
hair,
so
I
want
to
get
a
feather
on
my
ankle
to
honor
her.”

would
be
that
line
from
the
Declaration
of
Independence,
‘Life,
liberty
and
the
pursuit
of
happiness.’”

“It
would
be
my
astrological
sign
in
the
color
of
a
rainbow.
I’m
a
Cancer
so
my
sign
is
a
69,
which
I
feel
is
pretty
gay
anyway.”
Frankie
Asher,

“I
wouldn’t
have
a
gay
pride
tattoo.
Tattoos
shouldn’t
be
a
labeling
of
who
you
are.”

"Since
I’ve
never
really
thought
about
it
I
don’t
really
know.
I
got
my
earring
in
my
left
ear,
and
that
was
my
symbol.”
