Well, I'm back. It has been a while. Life is so busy. This summer I was busy catching up on work things, catch up on fun with my partner, and now back to the internet. I hope to provide as much helpful information as I can and provide resources, information, and support for those coming out or newly out. I have been to some pride events and saw Cris Williamson, a lesbian music icon recently at the NWMF. It is always great to be in a setting with lgbt people.
I also JUST found a Kate Clinton video on Logo TV website and it plays part of her comedy routine. I love her!! She is so funny.
We also have future lgbt plans this summer - making some conscious decisions to look for such events to support and receive our own affirmation of normalcy. Isn't it great.
Last night on FX I saw a new "30 Days" and it was a reality show of a "conservative female" who spent with 2 gay men and their foster/adopted sons. It also was interesting, fun to watch and I was hoping for her to become more accepting, as did the 2 men, but I'm not sure that happened.
She left very distressed in that she could not approve of gay/lesbian couples adopting. It was sad but educational. The woman was open to visiting different groups, etc. working with glbt's and also met with the foster agency to find the sad state of kids left in foster care, etc. I respected her openness in meeting others, but at the same time, she maintained one thought in her head - it is morally wrong in her mind.
I am very fortunate to live in a world where I am accepted by my children and my friends and family members. I feel no discrimination in these worlds and I am very lucky. I know not everyone is this blessed.
I will leave for now. Please add your comments, news, info. for others to attend. Also, continue visiting places that support lgbt people. Also very exciting is the approval of gay marriage in California since my last blog. That deserves it's own blog, don't you think. I do. So it shall be.
Peace,
Chris
