The first sentence I wrote for this post was "Chocolate and Cinnamon want to be boyfriends, and I am all too happy to oblige."
I didn't have a political motive for making them boyfriends. The sentence just sounded cleaner than it would have if I'd used "boyfriend and girlfriend." But as I looked at it I realized that it might sound opinionated, and that homophobic readers could be offended. Then I spent some time thinking how nice it is when you find an unexpected benefit to something you were already doing.
I'm petty that way.
At this point, I had drifted reasonably far from the original point I'd been trying to make, which is that cinnamon and chocolate pair wonderfully together.
Logically-ordered storytelling is not my specialty.
