Just saw this reply @mamadini because I just got back from seeing my son graduate and last weekend was a very emotional one for me. I try to be kind to everyone, but sometimes I just wish I was not, especially with certain family members of mine.
Congratulations on the graduation (Your son’s). <3
Oh, I know how that goes. I have not talked with my family since my Mamo passed over two decades ago and it’s been so much better being alone (I choose my fam) than having all that nastiness in my life. No matter what, you and Erin have created such an amazing life and the energy, love, and fierce shines like a beacon. <3
P.S. I have started to speak up, after a life of not doing it to this degree and so far people seem really put-off by it, but I'm going to say what I need to say, no more Ms nice guy, here, if I am not feeling it.
For I am the I in lgbtqI and I ain't afraid no more. ;)
Thank you @mamadini! So glad to hear that you are not afraid anymore! Know that you have family in other ways, not just through blood which reminds me of a quote from Xena: Warrior Princess.... Xena: We both have families we are born into, but sometimes families change, and we have to build our own. For me, our friendship binds us closer than blood ever could. (from “Ties that Bind”)
Please keep up the good work and have a wonderful and blessed day my friend!
I was never actually afraid -- it's just not something I think about, at all. lol. I was being a bit flippant. I know it's a big deal to some out there in the world, but you know what I'm saying (I hope). I've not kept it a secret, I just don't find it relevant to almost anything in my life, aside from people that think I'm the devil... and if they think that, they can have at it. One thing I have always noticed in life is that all the people that do not like me, are without exception, people that I would never want to be like… so it kind of cancels out in a way.
I was also born with webbed feet, which I find much more interesting. :P
I love me some Xena.
Thank you for such warmth and kindness, both you and Erin. <3
@mamadini It never crossed my mind that you were afraid....and I know what you are saying. People think I and Erin are the devil because of our lifestyle and I dont give a flying f****. They will have karma bite them eventually for the way they treat others. For me, as long as you dont try to push your lifestyle and beliefs on me, I dont care one bit how you live, just leave me and what I do with my life alone. I know how I am and I was born the way I am...the Goddess didn't mess up when she created those who are born different. She created us all equally no matter who we love, look like, or any other "stereotype" you want to be labeled with. I would love to chat with you beyond steemit but alas this may be the only way.
XENA is the best and I posted a poem I did about 8 yrs ago on my page if you want to check it out.

YASSS, I totally agree. :)
I mispelled Xena at first and it made me chuckle when I went back and looked. lol
