I feel that my very first vote ever really counted.

It was just announced that Barack Obama is our President-Elect – the 44th President of the United States.  I have never voted for a President before and I am so glad to have participated in this historic event.

Yes, I voted for Barack Obama.   He gave me the hope that I am looking for.   A time for peace, a time for change.  I am ecstatic right now and I am at a loss for words.  Congratulations Barack Obama!!  Oh, I’m sorry… congratulations Mr. President.

Sexual direction is not an election… controversial campaign.

This ad caught my eye as I was reading another blog.  The campaign is creative.  I think it brings the message and the controversy surrounding it has gotten much attention.

 

Just like the poster, I myself agree that I was born a homosexual.  I would have never thought otherwise.  If it was a choice, I would be straight.  Growing up gay and different from other people was not the path I would have chosen for myself.  If it was a choice, I would rather be the same as everyone else.

 

As I age however, I am glad I am different.  I see the world in a different light.  I believe I am more compassionate because I am gay.  I believe I feel more emotions because I am gay.   I can understand the sinner better because I am gay.  I do not condemn easily because I know of what I’ve been through.  Therefore, my being gay helped me become who I am today and I am happy with what I see.
