Who Do I Think I Am??

by Fivesixer

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #1762035

A little bit of everything, colored my own way.

WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus

BLOG CHALLENGE WINNER FOR SEPTEMBER 2011 AND APRIL 2012!!

** Image ID #1901871 Unavailable **

After almost a year away, I've decided to revisit Blogville. I'm refreshed and ready...this time around it'll be a little different. I'll talk about a little bit of everything...music, sports, retail life, and more. It's not for everyone...you might not like it, but someone you know (and possibly detest) probably will!

WHO THE HELL DO I THINK I AM??

A gift from Julie D for being named Honorable Mention for Best Blog in the Quill Awards!

We're gonna find out one way or another!

Relax, enjoy, leave a comment, tell your friends...
A special thanks to Julie D - PUBLISHED!

In response to "Not that there's anything wrong with that..."

I'm glad you read and enjoyed this, Ann...I know if I were ever presented with the same situation again I wouldn't be as uncomfortable. It's amazing to see how things have changed in five years...I can only imagine how much perception has changed over the last 50. I've always felt that gays were no more or no less than anyone else, and you're absolutely right that they are just like everyone else in 99% of activities. And if that 1% is what creeps people out, well, it's none of their business anyway...and there are better, more tactful ways to respond than with hatred.

In response to "Not that there's anything wrong with that..."

Wonderful, Norb. You are a great guy. I can imagine your discomfort "cutie"

.............

The 'uncomfortable' part is normal for attendees not 'family' and sometimes they do get teased but their host/hostess friend is there to look out for them. These days half the people in a gay bar are not gays; but are comfortable in the setting and enjoy the Drag Show, their drinks, their dates and are always welcomed. No longer, at least not in Portland, are the troublemakers who, in the past, came just to cause big trouble; that's why there's always Security officials present. I came out as the fearsome time in Portland was no longer a problem. I had driven to Portlnd from Idaho every weekend for two evenings in a place where I could finally freely say "I am a lesbian"................I conversed with so many guys and lesbians, learning their stories, lots of sadness in those lives.

It was a wonderful coming out place to feel 'me' finally after so many years of knowing my heart. I'm so thankful young folks now do have freedom to be who they are, not all places, but here in the Northwest they're free at school and most places.

I'm glad you wrote this. Hopefully, it has been read by many seeking to understand who we gays are; just like them in 99% of human activities.

In response to "This one's about the temptation of young Fivesixer."

It was interesting reading thru a few of your blogs. I sense a man with a real good sense of humor behind this writing with a streak of mischief in him. Unfortunately, I also saw a man with lots of pain. I wish my simple thoughts could heal your pain. But I will say they anyway in my prayers at night.

If you're going back to the sixties:

And being a teenager then wasn't any different than any other decade, except all we had were transistor radios and phones wired to the wall.

It may be that we had a moment of silence the day after Lennon was shot. Parents and teachers probably took it harder, and remember, there weren't TV's and computers in classrooms in 1980. Plus, he'd just released an album and was on the verge of a comeback of sorts in his career.

Nice. Too be honest, I had no idea who John Lennon was until I was like thirteen. Why they would put that he was murdered over a school PA system during the middle of school day is beyond me, but, I guess he was a big deal.
