Straight Pride.. WTF

There are a few ways to piss off a CaMel and THIS has become one.


There are a few ways to piss off a CaMel and THIS has become one.  A story about the creation of a Straight Pride!
WTF.. I am sorry but "Straight" people don't have the issues that the LGBTQ community face on a DAILY..
There are COUNTRIES we CANT visit or they will KILL us because we love each other.
I am ALWAYS being judged because I have SEX with someone I love.
I am ALWAYS being judged because I have SEX with someone I love.
I am ALWAYS being judged because I have SEX with someone I love.
I am ALWAYS being judged because I have SEX with someone I love.
I am ALWAYS being judged because I have SEX with someone I love.

ALWAYS, my ENTIRE adult life.
Tell me.. how many times as a straight person do you feel uncomfortable and afraid for your LIFE because you are holding the hand of someone you love. Or KIss your love. Or comment to them in that manner that lets people know that is someone you LOVE!
I make jokes about my sexuality to make people feel more comfortable as it is always an elephant in the room.
Once again.. There are COUNTRIES we CANT visit or they will KILL us.
KILL us.. because of love.

Really .. a straight pride.. F%‪#‎K‬ YOU!!!
Everyone that may think this is a funny or clever idea has obviously never faced such hate because of who you love! You can still travel, eat at local restaurants, get married, be the partner in hospital visits and bury your lover without question

Love is pure.. until we make it ugly.
Shame on you straight people who can't see beyond your own selves. 
Keep it up.. you create this UGLY world we live in..
A place I am so often disgusted to be a part of!

Sometimes I am full of hope for a better tomorrow.. then this kind of thing comes up and reminds me again that so many people just SUCK!

The day we celebrate the Parent with the Penis!!

One of the most important missions we will ever accept is the "Parent".
We are required to love, no matter what conditions we may have experienced as children. 
We are to teach kindness, acceptance, self-worth when we may never have experienced such. 
We are to provide necessities to keep the little human fuelled and tuned up so their vessel is prepared for the challenges it will face.

We must open ourselves and share who we were, our journey, fears, and insecurities.
Proving that although we are the 'Parent' we are still human and can somewhat relate to today's difficulties.

This mission doesn't always end well. Sometimes the players can't see far enough outside themselves to build that bridge.
Most times the mission is successful. 
Parent and little human form a bond fuelled by mutual respect and admiration, love and loyalty.

I am so grateful to have met some of the most amazing parents in my life.Who have and continue to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of their little humans.
Proving what I know to be true even tho I may not have experienced it myself!
This brings me to Today. The day we celebrate the Parent with the Penis!! DAD!!! A KEY player!
May your day be filled with corny jokes, gross ties, fantastic bad for you food, millions of kisses and hugs.
To all of those Dads who left ahead of us and are dancing in the stars. Thank you. Please have a dance for us!!
May all your missions be successful!

Oma

“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering”
~ Ben Okri

My beautiful lost her Oma today.

A woman I only knew in the last years of her life, when failing health and a wandering mind had replaced the person she was.

She lived through the holocaust. Her stories of survival, her drive to succeed and her stubbornness were some of the things that shone from within.

Her last few years were so far from what she had been used to. The reality of that was so evident in her words, stature and moods.
The so-called "Golden Years" were apparently not so golden!

She was one of the lucky in my eyes.
In good health until she wasn't!
Her final days were not spent hooked up in the hospital.

Nobody saw this coming.. today!!

A fitting finish for a woman who did things her way!

I raise my coffee mug to my Beautiful's Oma,

Thank you for loving yourself enough to keep living.
Thank you for raising one of the nicest Men I have ever met!
Who in turn helped create your granddaughter. Whom I adore.

May you be dancing amongst the stars surrounded by all who got to the party before you.
