Drink Said Quote by Michael Nava
““And what right do you have to judge me? He was nothing to you but a drink." "No," I said. "I loved him." She looked away from me. A moment later she said, "I have never understood homosexuality. I can't picture what you men do with each other." "I could tell you but it would completely miss the point.””
