Actually at the end of the month I'm giving an exam on some of the information, those below 65% will have their LGBTQ membership cards taken away.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-41401373071209636362018-04-09T08:57:05.578-04:002018-04-09T08:57:05.578-04:00RJ, I agree, it would have been great if I had som...RJ, I agree, it would have been great if I had someone to look up to. As it was, I thought if I lived a gay life, according to what I saw on tv at the time, I would end up a mentally disturbed freak in society.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-77237862829744548442018-04-09T08:52:41.206-04:002018-04-09T08:52:41.206-04:00Dr Spo, yes please check it out, lots of interesti...Dr Spo, yes please check it out, lots of interesting info regarding the LGBTQ community.

We can only put it out there and eventually it sinks in. I don't think forgetting the past is the way forward, it's the way for someone charismatic to come along and get people believing that things were better in the past when "gays were under control".Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-4311168420147268582018-04-09T08:44:09.947-04:002018-04-09T08:44:09.947-04:00Maddie, yes I agree, it's important to not for...Maddie, yes I agree, it's important to not forget the past, some people want to it seems. I think that comes from a place of not wanting to deal with the stress of reality. Plus there are still people in areas where being LGBTQ is dangerous.

We must...I agree with what you say here too Steven. We must always remember and preserve the past as we move on. We must not sweep it under the rug, or shrug off the older generation who want to regale stories. When I go to the Raven for a few, they are well known for the older men that come in. I often listen to their colorful stories. They are characters I tell you, but one can learn lot of there stories. All role models too, to live through what they did.<br /><br />And must not take for granted what we have either. I dated a Russian guy for some time. Vatali would go back to Russia and would come back with appalling stories of how the gay community was, and is, still treated. His family made him leave the county. He was here for a while but settled in Italy. The boy's accent could have made me do anything, but that's another story. <br /><br />Yes...and so glad gay movies are getting better and not always campy or sad endings.I have stopped by the Gay Almanac and must add them to my blog list. I always enjoy my stops in.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-48940137051496152032018-04-07T16:22:49.910-04:002018-04-07T16:22:49.910-04:00Thanks so much for the shout out about The Gay Alm...Thanks so much for the shout out about The Gay Almanac! <br /><br />Sooo-this-is-me is on my LGBTQ Website list and it has become a favorite site for me to check out.<br /><br />I really appreciate your kind words and hope that by spreading the news about LGBTQ history, news, and people that everyone realizes there really is a lot to be proud of. There are hundreds of pioneers and heroes that have sacrificed much so we can have the victories we now have. There are talented artist who happen to be gay that live their lives and out and proud. Thankfully, many young people these days feel less of a stigma about being LGBTQ, but not everywhere by a long shot. I hope what I do gives a better understanding to those having a hard time with dealing with LGBTQ issues. <br /><br />--Mark at the Gay AlmanacBlogMarkBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055243084906096819noreply@blogger.com
