This was just supposed to be funny, but it also turned into a Public Service Announcement. If you don't support gay marriage, you can go straight to the tenth level of hell! And shout out to Macklemore, whose song "Same Love" is inspiring!


It was pretty quiet at the firehouse, and the gang had nothing to do. So Janine suggested the six of them (Peter, Ray, Egon, Winston, Jennifer, and herself) play Truth or Dare.

"Truth or Dare? What are we, thirteen year old girls?" said Jennifer.

"I dunno, Princess," objected Peter. "Could be fun."

"Okay," said Jennifer, rounding on him. "Then you go first."

Peter smirked. "Fine. Dare."

"Oh, this is gonna be fun," said Ray mischievously.

"Okay, Venks. I dare you..." Jennifer smiled sneakily. "...to kiss Janine!"

"Oooh!" said Ray, Egon, and Winston.

"Ew!" exclaimed Peter and Janine.

"No way!" said Peter.

"Gross!" added Janine.

"You gotta do it, man," said Winston.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" chanted Ray.

Peter let out a disgruntled huff. "Fine!" and pecked Janine on the lips.

The other four Ghostbusters guffawed and high-fived as Peter and Janine melodramatically pretended to gag and throw up. Janine even went so far as to grab a sanitized Wet Wipe and rub it vigorously over her lips as to remove Peter's germs.

"Well, that was fun," said Ray as Janine sat back down on the floor. "Who's next?"

"Jennifer," said Peter and Janine in unison as they glared at her.

Jennifer smiled back at them smugly. "Alright. I pick Truth!"

Peter rubbed his hands together evilly. "Okay, Jennifer...is there anyone in this room-besides Egon-who you've ever had a crush on?"

The smile on Jennifer's smug face melted and her cheeks turned pink.

"Oooh, she did!" giggled Janine. "Come on, Jen, who was it?"

"Um...I...well, I...uh...," stammered Jennifer.

"Dish, woman!" demanded Peter.

"Okay, fine!" grouched Jennifer. "When I was in college and taking parapsychology classes...I had a crush on..." Jennifer's voice dropped so much that the others had to lean in closer, "...Venkman."

Everyone gasped. "PETER?!" exclaimed Ray.

"Oh my GOD!" yelled Winston, cracking up.

Venkman smirked at Jennifer. "Well, well, well."

"Oh, shut up!" said Jennifer, glaring venemously at him.

"Oh, don't be ashamed, young Jennifer," said Peter, putting an arm around Jennifer's shoulders. "No woman can resist the eloquent charms of Pete Venkman...OW!" he cried as Jennifer slugged him in the nose. "What the f-"

"So wait, Jen," said Winston. "Did you ever have a crush on me?"

"Uh...yeah," admitted Jennifer, now that the ultimate disgrace had been uncovered. "It was when you were first hired. I just...I thought you had nice arms," she said weakly.

Winston, being the gentleman he was, merely smiled and said "Well, Jennifer, it's just too bad we never got to make some multi-racial babies."

Jennifer laughed. "Yeah, our kids would have been adorable!"

Egon was looking rather put out by all this talk. "Aw, now don't you be mad, Egghead," said Jennifer, smiling adoringly at him. "You know you're my knight in shining armor."

"Aaaaw," said Winston, Peter, Janine, and Ray as the happy couple kissed.

"Hey, wait a parsec," said Ray suddenly. "Why didn't you ever have a crush on me?"

"Oh..." said Jennifer, looking very awkward. "Well uh...I always kind of thought you were...you know...gay."

"What?!" exclaimed Ray, falling off his chair.

"Yeah," agreed Janine, nodding. "I thought so too."

"Why would you think I was gay?!" exclaimed Ray.

Janine shrugged. "I dunno...I just had a feeling."

"I am NOT gay!" shouted Ray furiously. "Do I seem girly to you?!"

"Hey, now that's just a mean stereotype," said Janine sternly.

"Yeah," added Jennifer crossly. "Not all gay guys are feminine, Raymond. Geez, what a bigot."

Ray looked at the other guys. "Did you think I was gay too?!"

The other guys looked at each other and then back at Ray. "Well...yeah," said Winston.

"It was conceivable," seconded Egon.

"I always figured you liked Egon," added Peter.

"Really? Because I hypothesized he was smitten with you," Egon said to him.

Ray jumped up. "I am NOT gay!" he yelled, stomping out of the room. "I like boobs! And you guys are jerks!"

The other five stared at each other awkwardly. "I guess the game's over," said Janine.


"Hi," said Jennifer to the reader. "We've all had a lot of fun tonight. But we would like apologize for the crude humor we made toward the homosexual community."

"Homosexuals make up ten percent or more of our population," said Peter, joining her. "And we here at the fictional GB Plus Me franchise would like to say that we support same-sex marriage."

"Yeah," said Ben Haggerty, a.k.a. Macklemore, wearing the fur jacket he bought from the thrift shop. "Gay men and women are just like straight people. The only difference is they aren't allowed to get married. Which is not cool, America. Not cool."

"We believe that all people should be able to join in matrimony to the person they love, no matter their gender," said Jennifer.

"Because no matter the person, it's all the Same Love..." said Macklemore, and then added quickly, "Which you can buy iTunes now."

"Support gay marriage," concluded Peter. "And thank you."

The following has been a PSA by Catie The Awesome and the GB Plus Me foundation.

"But uh, I'm not gay," said Ray. "Just so we're clear. Not gay. I like women. Not men...Okay. Bye."
