I'm thinking that I'm done for tonight.
This is the first time in my life that I've been called homophobic.
I just can't even.

It just pisses me off. I left my previous forum for being treated like a pariah for being gay and now I'm accused of being homophobic?
I didn't even want to come out on here for while. I wanted to just be fucking treated like a human being and not be labelled and placed in a box. But then I couldn't sit there and take the opposite. Ugh. Whatever.

Don't let conflict with one or two members drive you away.
There are plenty of other members here.

I love this quote from one of my favourite writers, Alice Walker;
"Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge."

Thanks you two. I wouldn't let one person drive me away permanently. It just pissed me off and I got too defensive, too quickly. I should learn to just leave threads and stay away when that kind of bullshit comes up.
Nice quote MM.

Keri, you're never going to find any 2 people who will agree with you or anyone else here on everything. We are all unique and we should celebrate our differences.
If I don't like what someone says, I just ignore and move on!
I live my life with one underlying philosophy:
You can only be hurt by those you love.
Everyone else is just a distraction...
Don't you dare leave us!
Losty, more cookies for the good lady! Quick!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
