I just realized something, I don't remember ever standing up for who I am. For my principles that everyone is created equal. That I have my right to my own happiness and that no one has the right to disrespect that.

I got into thinking this way because of an experience I read about from this guy on PEx about not answering a question on "Are all gay men effeminate?" Maybe at this stage of my life I will be able to answer that with all confidence that all gay men come in different shapes and sizes. Different personalities, different levels of masculinity. Just like straigh men and women, gay women, bi men and women, and the in betweens. Really, diversity is present in all of us. That label has really got to go. I am still wondering how it came to be that that particular label existed. I remember taking this psychological test in college that resulted in me being androgenous in my personality. Mostly, I'm capable of masculine and feminine personalities and emotions. I take that as a complement. It seems that that would be perfect because you'd have the best of both worlds.

Which brings me to a statement my mom told me before. She goes "it's a good thing I have a gay son." I'm like "why?" Blurts out "because I immediatley get a son and a daughter." I interpret that as having the rationale, firmness and strength of a man, and the caring, loving, and understanding qualities of a woman. Great ain't it?
