Ivy's Closet- A video for my family

[Fruity]

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

I think the video was good. The sound quality was a little poor, but I don't know how much you care about that.
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. ♥

I'm confused a little Ivy. Is Ivy pronounced Eee-vee or Eye-vee? You said it both ways in the video.

People use both
