  1. Since I came out later in life, 45 to be exact; I feel like I have two different ways in which people see my queerness.

    For those who know me only since I've been involved in the queer community, and some really accepting older friends; they see me. I know I can present how I would want to, engage in conversations without being judged, and be myself fully. Do I do that with them? Not really to the fullest...

    For those who know me and my work from before I came out; I never really know what they see. That's probably just the voice in my head. That said, I feel like I have to set very distinct boundaries on our conversations. There are also comments that I just need to move on from.

    I know I could drop the "old" and move forward but, it's not that easy. There's 45 years of family, work, and living to account for. It doesn't go away. It's also part of who I am today.

    What is the "real" me? It's probably a blend where I'm still working on the right combination of ingredients.

    And trying to figure out how to quiet that voice in my head.

    what are your thoughts? i trust you here because singleness is typically the preferred action over here and those are the options in my dilemma. pursuing friendship with potential of pre/marital commitment or pursuing friendship only and remaining single

    i am #sideA #queerChristian #SSAchristian #LatterDaySaint i think #sideB would have better input on this

    i don't want to be told "this is stupid." i have many many reasons, much (not all) of them not #internalizedHomophobia

  11. “Let’s watch a DVD,” she says. “How about The Birdcage?”
    Ugh, drag queens. Female impersonators. Why do they always show this side of #gay life? This is certainly not helping the cause.
