Fight back fags!!

Okay kittens. I know some people are going to give me grief for what I'm about to say and advocate, and quite frankly I don't care. I just finished reading about the 13 year old boy in Texas who put a bullet in his brain because he could no longer endure the teasing and bullying that he was subjected to in school. Reporting the abuse did no good as the school claims to have no record of the numerous phone calls made by the boys parents and claim they were completely unaware of any bullying going on in their school. BULLSHIT.
Then last week there was the boy who hung himself in his backyard because he was bullied for being gay.
And then there are the bashings and hate crimes that occur because there is little or no repercussion for the crimes. The muggings and beatings that occur because a man admits he is gay when asked, the waiter who was stabbed in the neck after a customer asked him if he was gay. I could go on and on.
A channel has been created on youtube to provide encouragement to young gays that "It gets Better". While this is a noble effort and I do believe it will help for those feeling isolated to know they are not alone it's still not enough. It's time we fight back. Cast off the image that we are whiny, limp-wristed, lisping, rainbow loving little queens who whimper and cry when faced with adversity. It's time we take off our stilettos and use them to stab out the eyes of the ignorant rednecks who attack us. Instead of running and crying ourselves to sleep or slipping a noose around our necks when someone attacks us for being gay, we need start throwing punches. The gym is our church gays!! Let's use those muscles for something other than picking up our next trick at the bar! Let's blacken some eyes, break some noses, and split some lips!!
When I was in elementary and middle school, I was the subject of bullying. It happened all the time; on the bus, on the playground, on my walk home. It was awful. Then one day, as I was being called a fag and one of my books was stolen from me(and I love books so this really pissed me off) I decided it was time to fight back. I threw a punch, nearly broke the kids nose, dared any of the school officials to do anything to me for it since they had never done anything to stop the bullying, and that was it. I never had any issues with anyone in school again because I was willing to stand up for myself. I was no longer willing to be a submissive player in my life. I took control and made sure no one messed with me again. And I've carried it into my adult life. I tolerate nothing. That's what our community needs to do. Tolerate nothing. Shout out the NOM's and FAMILY VALUES COUNCIL and FOCUS ON THE FAMILY. Refuse to stand on the sidelines and let bullying and hatred be directed at us without fighting back. It's time to stand up for ourselves.

Good morning kittens! It's been a busy past 3 days for your loving blogger here. First off on Saturday was the wedding of my friends Ashley and Russ. Gorgeous ceremony, even more gorgeous reception. The tables were covered with fabulous pink and white centerpieces, the dj was very good; giving all us dancers plenty of Glee tunes, and the dinner was amazing. Somewhere on facebook there's a photo of everyone at my table holding up their filet mignon like neanderthal cave dwellers!
Sunday was my day at work. Working Sundays suck. Just sayin.
Yesterday was the kicker day though. My engine in my car blew up as I left for work. Now I don't mean my car just quit running, my engine literally BLEW UP! I pulled out of the driveway, it shook violently, pieces and parts fell out and fluids poured onto the pavement. This did not make me happy. I had to call off work, get my broken car back up to the house, and explore options for getting a new motor. This is not a fun time. Motors are expensive! Expensive that I don't have. I've only been back to work for a month, I have no savings, and I need to spend two thousand dollars for a new motor. I am not a happy camper.
I was able to cap the awful day off with a positive though. I had bought tickets to see the awesome Jay Brannan in concert several weeks ago, so I bummed my mothers car(not without serious grief) and made my way to see the adorable Jay Brannan. He puts on a great show that would have been even better had there not been an obnoxious drunk queen near the stage who refused to shut up! Anyway, If you've never heard of Jay Brannan, check him out on youtube and JayBrannan.com. That's all for now kittens, hi-ho it's off to work I go!

New Post

Good evening kittens! I know I know, it's been forever since you have all been blessed with my fabulous thoughts on the blog. So I'm making up for it now. Here's a bit of stream of consciousness writing for you all.
     -I've started a bit of a new diet and working out. I've signed up for Pilates and a tap dancing class at Ballet Met downtown. God love my tap teacher for being one of the most patient men I've ever worked with.
     -My retirement from theater is going well. I've vacationed in Florida twice this past summer and will be off to NYC soon for a few weekend trips this fall.
     -As for my retirement from theater, I'm still extremely hurt by what happened to me and will never work with Little Theater Off Broadway again.
     -I have a new job! After a year and a half on unemployment I finally found a job that pays a decent wage and gives me all the hours I want. For this I'm grateful and feel very lucky.
    -I'm very excited for Mercedes-Benz fashion week going on right now and really wish I were experiencing it live.
     -I'm very concerned about the current state of the Democratic party right now. Midterms are not looking very good. I see a few extra bottle of wine in my early November.
     -Eat Pray Love was a great movie and an amazing book. I love Julia Roberts.
     -That's all for now kittens. More later.
