Sara asked."No, she's still gay and she'll remain that way, but I hold a key to a lot of her life, and so she'll look to me for a lot of information. I haven't changed her, I've just given her some information about her life that she didn't have before." They all looked at me without saying anything for several minutes. By then.

The Lone Ranger is going to meet Tonto Monday.
