an introduction..
This is from the GDP forum..where there are times that I have gotten a bit carried away..
I posted this over there, and thought some of you may like to know what I am about...
Yes..
Believe it or not..I have a lot of passionate beliefs.
I also take some things personally..which is not a good trait..but one that goes along with passion.
Let me tell you a bit about me.
I am a gay man.
I live my life shattering gay myths.
I am 100 per cent anti war.
I support our troops however.
I serve in the military..proudly..to show people that gays CAN serve..and that liberals do OPPOSE the war, yet SUPPORT the troops.
I am HIGHLY respected by my commanding officers and those who serve under me.
I have met too many good men with traumatic brain injuries, and lost limbs, who paid the price for Chimpy's mistake.
I have spent hours on the phone, talking soldiers out of comitting suicide until help reached them.
I work for the Boy Scouts (another anti-gay organization)..mentoring youth..as a gay man, and have the support and respect of all of my superiors.
I am also a mentor for a young male organization for troubled youth, and work daily to show them the way to accomplish positive things..we have made great strides.
I do not back away from a fight.
I speak a lot before thinking..a trait many of us share.
I was here on Iowa night...
I posted a thread congratulating Obama..I was told "Fuck off loser"
ON NH night, when Hillary won..an Obama supporter posted about how bwad she felt. I encouraged her that although I did not support her candidate, that she shpuld never give up hope.
I also get carried away..
a lot.
Double standards are a sore spot for me..i stick up for the underdog and never give up the fight.
I have gone over the line at times.
If I offended, I apologize for my language..not my beliefs.
I have been inspired form a few supporters tonight..
I will try to improve..and not go over the line again.
I am capable of vividly expressing my beliefs without getting personal.
All I ask..is that others do the same.
