"Let's All Live and Give Together"
The Maritime provinces of Canada = a very hard place to be gay. "Ass-backwards" a lot of people have been known to say. Slower in advancements than the rest of the country, and particularly behind central Canada (Montreal. Toronto). All the crap one needs to put up with when just trying to get on with life, is very frustrating ... all just because of being homosexual. And if being gay were a choice, I sure would not have chosen it! So much pain and heartache are attached. But here I am, gay and in one of the Atlantic provinces, just trying to survive, cope ...
Hating gay people and people who are different in some way is just stupid, anyway. A big waste of time and energy. There was just a really good episode of FX Network's "Nip/Tuck" exploring the issue of homophobia - ironically, with Rosie O'Donnell (an OUT and MARRIED lesbian) this time cast as the HATER! I must say she is underrated as an actress, getting more attention for being outspoken and opinionated.

It is good to see you back on the blogging. I keep checking back from time to time to see if you still write. I took a long break there myself. I understand about what you mean with small town idealisms and such. Not personally, but I can just imagine have to deal with it directly. I am from a small city, and leave close to an even smaller one, and one of my close friends is gay. One of the first things I said to him was are you sure you want to move to a small community, but thankfully it has been pretty decent. All I can say is don't let ignorant people rule you, and stay true to yourself.
