Sinister: Stand up for your love rights!

[Jason Andreas]

Yes, I see where you're coming from, but isn't the whole community and idea
of Sinister 'a group of friends you've never met that all share at least one
common interest'?

If this is indeed the case, then what are friends for? Support, love,
discussion and reminiscing.

Hmm?
