Since my beloved Anderson Cooper recently came "out", I've been thinking about the gays in my life. First off, it was not a surprise AC is gay. Um hello?! He's WAAYY too manicured and coiffed to be straight, no? Besides, if you were in the closet of knowing AC plays for the other team, welcome to 2012. But still, he's got my heart. What woman does not find him uber attractive? He's intelligent and hot. Now onto the gays in my life.
In high school, I had a few friends that were gay. 2 boys and a few girls. I never felt uncomfortable with their lifestyle in anyway. I remember one of my best friends wrote a poem that got published in the lit mag about the murder of Matthew Shephard. It was so beautiful and honest. It talked about being scared to be gay and proud. He today is a successful musician. If you have facebook, follow Mr. Pixie!
In college I made 2 more friends who in the ended up being gay. One is still so dear to my heart even though I've not seen him since 2000. Miss you Lean Bean!
The point of my writing this is to say: love the person, not their choices. The choices do not necessarily make the person. We are human, folks! Love people for who they are, not the choices they make.
stepping down from my soap box.....
