My mom's at it again, apparently. Reports by my sister have my mom saying that she (my mom) was just waiting until I was done with the 'gay thing.' At this point I really don't care what my mom says any more, but it IS like slamming one's head against a wall over and over trying to get my mom to get it. I guess I need to understand her and where she's coming from and be patient.

On a different note, I went out to a gay bar for the first time ever! I went with a friend and fellow blogger, Random Thoughts, in my hometown here and we stayed from 9:30ish until the place closed at 2AM. We had a couple drinks, watched the drag show (with some rather beautiful guys that made equally beautiful women o.O), and then watched the underwear contest (who was hottest in their undies). In the contest there were some smokin' guys....smokin'.
So, yeah, I had a blast! One thing I noticed when I came home after being at the bar, I was really happy. I was ecstatic and content to be me...I've rarely ever felt like that in my life. I guess seeing other guys like me mixing together was very affirming. And I needed that after hearing what my mom said.

It is too bad that people can still think like your mother, that gaiety is simply a choice. But it occurs to me that people who are obviously camping it up for effect can give an impression that this gay business is all an act; ditto drag queens.
Not sure about the gay bar business. No doubt it is a relief not to feel you have to self-censor. And it's wonderful that you were content to be you and felt really happy. You've had all too little of that. I hope you can find that self-acceptance and affirmation in everyday life, in realizing that those you deal with respect and love you as you are.
I go to gay bars if I'm travelling and at least 75 miles from home. It seems that they all have drag shows.
IDK I like guys, not fems, and never liked the drag shows. Now sweaty twinks in jock straps dancing on the bar are a different story. I'll stash a fist full of $ in those waist bands. But I haven't seen that too often.
I'm glad you had fun at the gay bar (I thought you were going to a club o_O). You should've sneaked pics, lol.
*Hugs* Happy 4th of July!!
We'll have to hang out again, right?
That was a lot of fun and I enjoyed meeting you. Don't be a stranger, neighbor.

One of the reason why I love hittin the gay bar. I can just dance and do what I like without havin to worry about it. It's great to hear that you have a great time~ Be safe and enjoy the great gay night life!!
NG - I hope so, too. In general I find people to be accepting, at the worse they are generally ignorant. It was just nice to let my guard down for a bit and be myself.
Wet Kyle - I've never seen a drag show OR an underwear contest! lol
Aek - You naughty boy you. :P
Mike - Heck yes we ought to hang out again! I had a blast ^_^
Bob - Yeah, some parents just don't (want to?) get it. I guess I should be thankful she's not disowning me or tossing me out on my head. I just wish she'd get it through her head that I am what I am.
Nathan West - Dancing! Yay! Even though I have two left feet. :P
