Marriage to New York!

Finally, ignorance has been stepped aside for us New Yorkers. I will finally be able to have rights! Why should this be something that is decided by the state though? Why do I have to be in a certain state to be able to Marry the one I love?

The thing that I have to keep reminding myself is that people won't understand what they are not used to. Why should I not be able to have full rights because your not used to it. The most I could do is try to make people understand, but that's not the easiest thing to be done.

Love is beautiful, whether its between a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man, and a transgendered with another; love is something that is undefined but powerful. Don't let anyone tell you different because that is the truth.

Gays and Religion

Contradiction? I'm not sure. This blog post is focused on the Christian Religion and how being raised as a christian confuses me. I was baptised Christian, went through Communion, and was Confirmed, but still I feel that I am not accepted. Aren't Christians suppose to be accepting and love everyone? Or did I learn wrong because last time I checked I was told that I would burn in hell for being who I am.

Sometimes I believe that there could be a higher power. But why would this God not accept someone who was born the way they are. Why does me being Gay disable me from being loved by God. Why is it that I am told that I am going to burn in hell because I am attracted to guys? Maybe someone needs to clear things up with me because I never even had proof that any of this is true. This is why I don't follow Christianity because I feel like I am wasting my time in believing something that I'm not even accepted in. I want to believe that there will be an afterlife rather than disappearing forever but sometimes it is just too hard for me to believe.
(too many questions?)

I find that the majority of people who are gay do not follow a religion. Most likely for the same reasons I don't. My thought is that religion was made by people to enforce laws and keep humanity moral. My other thoughts is that it was made to make us feel that we have a purpose when we actually don't have any purpose, that we are just matter. Another idea are that its in our DNA to believe in a higher power (so I read).

So whatever we are here for, whatever our reasons are, and whatever we believe in, everyone needs to love one another; whether they are gay, bi, lesbian, transgendered, black, obesity, and so on. There is nothing wrong with loving, but there is with hating.

Spring is Around the Corner!

Finally, the weather is getting just a bit warmer! I am so over this horrible cold weather that has been making me so depressed and gloomy. Ive noticed my mood has gone to horrible to happy thanks to the changing of weather.

I made a list the other day at work of things I want to do with my boyfriend for this upcoming spring/summer. So far I have over 20 things I want to do. I also drove around with my windows down yesterday just because it was barely warm enough to do it.

Anyways, this pointless blog post is just about how happy I am that the snow is melting and the sun is radiating :)

BTW: Anyone who wants to donate to the "Get AJ to California Fund," feel free to shoot me an e-mail and I will tell you where to send the payment(s)!

Gay Public Displays of Affection

Having Public Display of Affection is most different when you are homosexual. I find it very much uncomfortable holding hands, hugging, or kissing my boyfriend when we are out in public because I am worried of what other people think or of what they will say or do. I hate that just because I am gay that I am pushed out of my comfort level to show affection to my boyfriend.

As much as I want to say that I don't care of what people say or think about me, I can't. I care very much so and I know that I shouldn't. My boyfriend doesn't seem to mind showing PDA in our relationship whatsoever; which I think is great because I want to become comfortable with it. I shouldn't have to hide who I am because of how someone else feels about it. All I would like is to feel comfortable holding my boyfriends hand while walking around in public.

I am just happy that I live in the time I do now because, doing that, say 40 years ago, would be unheard of. So I am thankful that I was born in a better time, but things still need to get better.

Back to School Again

Today is the first day of my second semester at College. As you may know, I have switched my major but its not to what it was in my previous post. I am going for Business now. I figure that you can go pretty much anywhere with business so it seems like a reliable option for now.

Thoughts that run through my mind going into my first class today:
-Where do I sit
-what if I get stuck next to a homophobic asshole or have to do a project with them
-when is this semester gonna be over?
-is the teacher going to suck

I hope this semester goes well and that I actually stick to doing homework and study for tests. I am so not in the mood for school right now. In my mind I am still on break enjoying working and sleeping. Now its going to be school, work, homework, and no sleep! Yuck. I am also thinking of going full time and finding another job that is going to pay better than retail. Well, wish me lots of luck because I am for sure going to need it.

Gays in the Military!

Yes! Finally! Don't Ask Don't Tell is no more! This is how it always should have been. There is no reason why anyone shouldn't be allowed to serve our country. But what does this mean for the Gay Soldier. Should they still be letting everyone in the military know that they are gay or not?

I was thinking more and more about that previous question and thought of how it would go over with the other soldiers. I felt as though that most people who are in the military don't accept gays, rather so, have them in the military. I feel like this is going to give a lot of potential for soldiers to gang up on gay soldiers because they are the way they are. Especially in situations where they have to shower together, etc.

Anywho, if I decide to go into the military for whatever reason, I don't think I will go parading around saying that I am gay because it could put you in a bad spot. And it's not like you can get out of the military by saying that you are gay anymore! Ha. Well, let our prayers be to our soldiers, wish them luck, and thank them for serving our country!
