Ramblings

I feel like the old Frank today and this is a good feeling!

I had a conversation with a friend of mine a few days ago. We both agreed that there are times when we are tired of being gay.

Think about it.

A straight person doesn’t have to worry about their straightness. They don’t have to look at how their straightness has ended their marriages or at the very least strained them. (Unless their hormones have run amok and they feel the need to mate with everything that moves.)

They don’t have special “straight” media that help them to learn more about their community and affirm them. They don’t have to decide if they are going to have a “Straight Pride” bumper sticker on their car.

Why, they don’t even have to decide what they are were to their annual “Straight Pride” festival or parade. Heck, they don’t even have such a thing in the first place!

So, in my little life I find that I get overwhelmed at times by all my gay books that I read about gay history, gay lifestyles, famous people who were gay, the gay newspaper, the gay magazines that I subscribe to, the gay blogs I read, the gay radio station I listen to on my car’s satellite radio system or even the gay network I watch on my cable television!

Gee…straight people have it so much easier!

In the meantime, I’m a gay man trying to navigate the waters of his relatively new-found “freedom”.

This weekend was spent trying to make order out of the chaos that has descended upon my house. “Lovey” has finally decided to begin packing boxes of “her” things. Boxes are everywhere! Paper is everywhere!

Moving day is scheduled for the week of June 19.

I’ve been looking at various furniture stores to try and get an idea as to what my taste in styles is. Since “Lovey” is taking all the main level furniture with her, I will actually be able to find out. Keep your fingers crossed.
