Ivy's Closet- A video for my family

RE: Ivy's Closet- A video for my family
I'm confused a little Ivy. Is Ivy pronounced Eee-vee or Eye-vee? You said it both ways in the video.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

heh. Thanks. I just got your approval and it took the tears out of my eyes. I can't imagine what it will be like when I hear what they have to say.

Thanks Kichi... you know... even with all this distance, I faken love you, woman! *tear

The thing I don't understand is the talk about not being an 'ally'. What do you mean by that?
An ally of gay people?
Also -- why a video? Can't you talk to them?

The part about standing in front of the congregation and apologizing for having sex. What an awful, degrading situation. Nobody should have to go through something like that.
It seems gay/bi people in the US have to endure a lot. It makes me sad.

I'm grateful I live in one of the most liberal countries in the world. Too bad for gay/bi histrionic people though... They come out screaming 'I'm gay, I'm gay, I'm gay!!! Look at me I'm gay!!!' And 99.9% of everyone is going 'So? *yawn*'. Almost nobody cares one way or the other.
Not saying you are histrionic, though.

You look cute in the video, BTW. I like the bangs.

I don't care about the quality.
I had to make the video, because they live far away and see them rarely. Over the phone... the thing is they came over last weekend and some things were said. It hurt my feelings, so I would prefer to not be interrupted.
Where I live, being LGBTQ is a big deal. You must come out of the closet if you plan on standing up for rights, being an activist, or anything of the sort. Reason? Most people here are conservative. You can't be vocal and hide. Here, people do care. There's no yawning. There's either acceptance (and you most likely join a LGBTQ support group), or there's gossip and discrimination. I'm in a sucky town.

And thanks. ♥

Taking back the power from those who have held it from you is always an awesome thing. Good job.

Oh... and about not being an ally... everybody here keeps referring to me as an ally. They keep acting as though I'm doing this selfless thing. I'm not straight. I respect allies too much to act as though that's what I am. I'm not a friend of the lgbtq community. I'm family.

Exactly. That's also something I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks, Cinjin.

That one was used first. Big Grin Ivy is the short version of my name.

I understand that. Why should it be so hard for others? Perhaps they (like you expect your family to be) think that this "phase" will pass?

BE who you are honey, a loving 'Mom', Daughter, Adult thinker, who just happens to be Bisexual.

I do look forward to the day when one's sexuality isn't an issue. Heart

Sorry about the late response, I just finished watching your video.

Let me say a couple of things.

Ivy, that video was awesome. It covered your feelings very well along with shooting down some misconceptions.

I was surprised about how open and honest you are in the video, even though it is for your family.

I say send it.

I also can't believe they put you through that bullshit for having sex. Seriously!

You're a gorgeous lady the way you are and don't let anyone say any different.

Now, go and have some bacon.
