Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on February 15, 2013 at 10:58pm The pro-gay message of your video is great, Sentient Biped, but the drumbeat of theism -yuck!

Appropriate for Valentine's Day -- the Illinois Senate passed marriage equality!
Comment by Chrissie Farthing on February 11, 2013 at 10:40pm Oh, she is creepy but if you watch the video it is her and its the look she gave when they asked her if gay people had any use whatever and she was saying "in her opinion NO" When you look at the data on Sullivan IN. There are just over 4000 people there and the average wages of those people in that town is in the $21K range and many have no job it appears they are not a very competent group.
Comment by Sentient Biped on February 11, 2013 at 9:48pm Dallas, I wonder if that pic of the special ed teacher was somehow photoshopped? There's something not-right about her disconjugate gaze. Kind of creepy, really.
Well at least they still "love us." Thank god for that!
...oh wait!
Congratulations, Chrissie, on fully affirming your true self!
You're right, religion seems to be behind a great deal of the insistence on following the "One True Way" to be a real man, or a real woman, or a real small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. (I do miss Douglas Adams.)
Comment by Chrissie Farthing on February 10, 2013 at 12:42pm It has been my experience that most people who have a place in the LGBT spectrum have and still are covering their true self because of the pressure from theology and it's influence on society. For one to identify as a thinking individual who does not fit their ideal of what we all should be is asking for trouble and hatred sometimes resulting in death or injury. As a result of that I and many others hid our true selves and never admitted our true self often not even to ourself.
I spent 74 years in that limbo and then then rather than ending it all I decided to let the world know my true self. I admitted to the world as well as myself that I had gender disphoria and that I was going to put it right. I completed my transition at 76 and life now is more than I ever thought possible. Those people who you loose because you show who you really are, you know the ones whon believe in some form of invisable sky god, are not worthtrying to keep even if they are family. The really hard part is finding the will to come out and be who you really are. I am sure a lot of those grey areas would deminish if we were honest.
I am now a Trans. Atheist Lesbian and at nearly 80 life could not be better so we all need to come out and joinn the fun.
