No! The roasting mellows them out and they taste similar to other brassicas. Which is probably not helpful if you just don't like brassicas.

Broccoli is so good roasted! The little florets get all crispety and delicious.

Some of us sadly grew up with steamed or boiled Brussels sprouts, which are the most horrid things ever. Just be glad we finally learned the truth!

I KNOW! I just discovered them last year, and now my Favorite Thing is to just do a giant veggie roast: Brussels sprouts, parsnips, fancy potatoes (like Yukon Gold), yams, sweet potatoes, broccoli, squash, and some whole garlic cloves with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. DELICIOUS and SO EASY. I also like to add…

Chicken Lady's origin story was the first KITH I ever saw. I was horrified and laughing my ass off all at once. It may have scarred me for life. But in the good way, y'know?

All I'm saying is: perhaps those behaviors you saw were rooted more in that person's personality/poopiness and not in their sexuality. Correlation not causation?

Ah, anecdata and stereotypes! You feel conflicted because you recognize on some level that you're being bigoted; maybe that's something you should explore more.

UGH. Sorry you had that experience.

Ha, I'm totally the opposite: bisexual (or actually just really queer), homomantic.

I love* Joss Whedon and I love what you have to say here.

Yeah, atheist here. Sorry I don't automatically preface everything I say with that.

Um. Okayyyyyy. I haven't said anything for like an hour on the subject, but now the contrary part of me wants to start all over again.

I'm just gonna keep saying it: THAT'S NOT EVEN THE REAL NUMBER. Sigh.
