Imma gonna be real and say this; I feel the same way about being gay right now the way blacks felt in the 60’s-70’s. I’ve been thinking about this for the past week. I think because if folks said racists things about blacks I know everybody would be raising hell. But when I hear homophobic remarks (at work or school) nobody says a thing. Gay plight is not the same as black plight - but no minority group has the monopoly on being discriminated against. Just thinking out loud.” - Me.

this was just on facebook and i took it down. why? i took it down because this is a censored post. i really wanted to say that i feel that i hear more shit about gay folks then i do about women, blacks and big girls. kids are killing themselves because they are teased at school about their sexuality and it seems to not matter. at this point we don’t gasp but sigh when another child takes his/her/hir life. i sorta feel like i’m in the damn twilight zone.

i’ve become one of those people that doesn’t watch the news any more. like i use to watch the news as a child with great patience and empathy. i don’t have the aptitude for all that grief/nonsense/distance in my head. i have this concentrated worry that is pressed against my head and chest. i’m gullible but not optimistic.
