Just some miscellaneous ramblings from an Upstate New Yorker.

Wake up people...I'm not a homophobe!

I have gotten the impression that people think that I am a homophobe. In fact, that is the farthest thing from the truth. Don't judge someone because they've grown up in farm country. In fact, being a native city kid (I was born in New York City and I spend a fair amount of time there, mind you have it) I have respect for the LGBT community. One of my mom's fellow coworkers when I was growing up was gay, and although I didn't know it at the time. This coworker and good friend of my mother's treated me like if I was his own son. He let me use his typewriter in his office, he took me to lunch at McDonald's, and kept me occupied on one Saturday after another, as he and my mom worked tirelessly to finish textbook projects.

Another thing I think people see me as is being none other than a plain old closeted gay guy. I'm straight, thanks. I quietly go bonkers when I see a girl in a bikini No one should be the one to determine your sexuality. Don't judge people on their voice pitch. For all we might know Justin Beiber might have been "having fun" last night with a girl.
