Turbid exchanges

"All you've been talking about is gay stuff! Don't you have any straight friends anymore?"

It seems that in terms of conversation topics, boys are to lesbians as anything gay is to straight people. While they are acceptable subject matters to their respective audiences, they are indelibly restricted to a limited quota of time. As moderately foreign topics, boys and gay matters are capable of stimulating curiosity in lesbians and straight people, respectively. Yet inevitably, the conversation reaches a variable point in which a concrete shift in subject matter is needed. Arriving at this threshold may involve a host of interrelated factors, such as insufficient knowledge or experience, excessive conjecture, and feelings of alienation.
