Maine :(

maine

Hot:

I was reading an article on the election in Maine today, and although it was a fairly positive article in regards to the “No on 1″ campaign, there were a couple sentences that when I read them… they stung. Like a slap in the face. Not gonna lie, I started crying. While the comment itself [...]

the forbidden l word

Hot:

I don’t know what I am anymore. Or maybe, deep down I do, and always did but have been told so often that it’s “wrong” that I’m afraid to admit the truth. Yea, maybe it’s denial. Maybe, it’s a phase that’s lasted…20 years O_o maybe… But that’s the thing- I’m too full of maybes and [...]

Being different from the “certified” [...]

Hot:

With all the goodness (or should I say badness?) of politics lately, it’s easy for a loud little political kid such as myself to become so entranced in the madness that I lose my ability to remain socially competent. It wouldn’t be the first time it happened either.
I hang out with a weird bunch of [...]

The Fight for Love

Hot:

Do you ever get tired of fighting for who you love? It seems as if the gay community has had to do so since the beginning of time. Many of us have had to fight with our parents, when it’s election time we have to fight to hope the vote goes our way, and internally [...]
