Thank you to Dan Savage for his final line in this piece

The video I posted isn't working I guess, so I'll post two links that are worth the watch. One funny yet true, the other very moving.

moving:


funny:

edit: When I say the funny one is true, I should point out that I'm referring to the last exchange between the two of them. Dan had some really great things to say.

    I'm glad to see the guy resigned from his job. Not because he was a bad person, but because it will finally start to speak to people, that we have the right to fight back, just as much as the next person. Because while we may get treated like second class citizens, we are still citizens.

    And the other clip was just awesome too! The banter back and forth sure didn't do much for the bigot, but it was entertaining and brought up some very good issues.

    That and Dan Savage AND Anderson Cooper on the same stage? Hello? It would be too much for me to handle live. ;)

    I actually almost didn't send the link. I found the struggle to talk over each other (on both sides) annoying.
    Then I remembered who the host was...

    uhhh... Tony Perkins is a QUACK!

    "You strip me of my rights, and I interrupt you. Who's really suffering here?" BRILLIANTLY STATED!

    I'm straight and this whole thing just pisses me off.

Today

Today started as any ordinary day, forced myself out of bed, got ready for work and went to work. Today was a day I felt self concious, I don't know what brought it on. I was in a comfort zone, a place that doesn't normally trigger this feeling. Today was the day I constantly pulled at my shirt because I felt my bulges were too defined by the tight shirt I'm forced to wear. Today was the day I wouldn't pick things up off the floor because of how I think I look when I bend over in these pants. Today was the day my feet reminded me how much weight I carry around on them all day long. Today was a day I felt customers staring at me thinking "Poor guy in his thirties and this is the best he can do" Today was a day that I felt customers thinking "Hey buddy, just because you work here doesn't mean you have to eat everything, looks like you could put the chicken down" Today was a day that you looked at me and I couldn't speak because I didn't thi...

Things

So tonight I went with my brother and a friend of ours to a place called "Funny Bone" a little comedy club not far from here and saw Tom Foss. I had never heard of him, but he came highly recommended so I shelled out a few bucks to go laugh and have a good time. He.was.hilarious. It was kind of awkward at one point listening to my brother and our friend E talk about the waitress helping the tables behind us talking about how they were wishing she was helping us. I on the other hand was enjoying our waiter, very cute, friendly and just down right yummy. I even covertly was flirting with him unbeknowest to my brother and E, or maybe they knew but thought I was being funny. lol. He was leaning down asking me what I wanted to drink and I told him I am what I drink and ordered a drink called the "Big & Easy" (sometimes I swear I crack myself up) he kind of paused and looked at me and giggled a little and said "Sounds good, be back in a bit" It was fun. :...
