Come out, come out where-ever you are!
From the moment I excepted the fact that I am "peter-puffer", I not only became somewhat of a novality (who in there right mind wouldnt want a gay friend), but that of an educator.
Sitting on that linolium floor of the dorm, being bombarded by any and all questions about something so personal as ones sex life, surrounded by college kids as my self-a fond memory.
Became quite active in the college community, and did panel presentations until they were comming out of my backside. I've been asked any and Every question no matter how personable. Wit and a quick response has produced some great laughs, whereas, I've also gotten into heated arguments with fellow panelists.
I still feel somewhat of a circus freak on display during these type of things. "Honey, let's go to the Zoo, I hear they brought some new HOMO's in, and have created a similar type of habitat for them". I'm not a freak to be put in a cage and displayed. Being gay is such a small part of who I am. On the flip side, its a great experience.
Today, I'll be on a small panel, where I am going to be the token male-homo. The panel is part of a gay sensitivity class taught at the Mayo Clinic. Will have alot of health care personel and the like. Yippie. If people don't know that I'm a part of the pink triangle pregrade, they will know by the end of the class.
Not sure what I am going to wear: Gay conservative, Gay Vintage, or go all out and just show up in drag. Picked up a vintage cardigan sweater at the thrift store, I am in L O V E With. May throw that on, I don't know. I'm really trying to stray away from being a gay stereotype. I want to get away from that whole "will and grace" viewpoint of "our kind".
