This post is just a little bit about me. I was born and raised in the south, I'm a hard worker just like my father, and I'm raising my son to be a good man. I worked in everything from landscaping to blasting in coal mines and rock quarries. I can drive anything from a fourwheeler to a rock hauler. I get sunburned, I get dirty, I get sweaty, and I get paid damn good money. Some people refer to me as a redneck, and I wear that label with honor. It is not, however, the only label I'm proud of. I'm a member of the LGBTQ community. I'm bisexual, and I guarantee that what I do in my bedroom has no effect on anyone other than me and the other person involved. I want to wish everyone here a Happy Pride Month.
That’s the part I don’t get ... pride in one’s sexual orientation. I would never feel proud of being a heterosexual because I was born this way. It wasn’t an achievement, or something I achieved. I don’t understand being proud of how you were born. It’s like saying that I’m proud because I have a certain color hair. No offense is meant, but it makes no sense to me.
I get it their is no straight day, being straight myself we don't need a label there so much behind each souls identities that cling to each other with closed minds some. Life can be gone in a flash it is no ones business.
@OceanRoses I just noticed that someone downvoted this post. It's all good. I'm still getting paid tomorrow and going to a strip club this weekend. Life is still rolling forward. I hope that person finds some peace.
@BlackPhillip indeed I hope too. it's just not necessary we can agree to disagree. The old saying do as I do or else. So easy to victimize ppl behind a screen..Gr8 enjoy!
