Micah is gay and I am, too
Micah, at LearnToDuck, has posted a thoughtful and insightful piece on his reaction to seeing the movie Milk.
I am Gay.
I went to go see the movie Milk today. I was seven when Harvey Milk and George Moscone were shot and killed by Dan White, who was crazy on Twinkies.
Its amazing how powerful those three words are, even today. I am Gay.
Parents would disown their own children; friends would walk away. I am Gay.
In some cases entire lives would be wrecked. Destroyed.
I am Gay.
Think about what you thought when you saw the title of this post. How would it change how you think of me, if I were gay? Would it change it at all? Really?

I believe that everyone should be entitled to have their own gender preference and be given a complete right to choose the person they want to be with. Be it straight or gay individual.

Excellent observation. I feel that gays and atheists have so much in common. Both are totally demonized, especially by the religious reich. Both are often disowned by family and friends for the unpardonable sin of being honest.
On my own blog (http://brazilbrat.blogspot.com/) I have a piece about Becoming Free and the things I went through with my own parents when I started thinking for myself and became an atheist.
I have a relative who, after 40 years of marriage, came out as being gay. He and his partner have been gradually accepted by his family, but it has taken years. The irony is, he is quite religious and has been active in his church for decades. Well, no one can be perfect, can they?
