GREAT show!!

So, I just accompanied an honor choir. It reminds me how much I enjoy being a rehearsal pianist. We practiced two days straight, then performed. It was great.

Really feeling the pull of somewhere else...

Things I wish I had said today...

to the guy talking about how relieved the country feels now compared to under the previous administration: "Only if your bubble is Fox News. The rest of us are paying attention. And there are a lot of us paying attention."

to the older gentleman wearing the "No on Prop 1" sticker: "Thank you. On behalf of so many: Thank. You."

to the customer who casually mentioned his husband in conversation: "I see your courage. I appreciate you for it. You made my day."

A request...

Don't tell your children to ask me why I don't go to your church anymore.

My answer to them may not beat around the bush in the way you wish it would. Then there will be other questions that you will want to answer even less.

If you don't know the reason, feel free to ask - I can tell you much more clearly than I can tell your children.

In other words, if you don't want me to tell them that I will date and marry a boy instead of a girl and that the religion they are being taught is about love is actually about excluding people like me, answer the question yourself.

lies I have to stop believing


I will mourn alone.

Because...
...everyone dies eventually - even close family.
...everyone has other things to do - even well-meaning well-wishers.
...everyone else has someone - even the other mourners.

Because gays can't love.
And gays can't be loved.
In sickness. Or in health.

To answer your question:

Yes. I do think less of you for voting to remove protection of trans people in public spaces because you buy into the fear mongering about how non-trans people will take advantage of the protections.

Wishes...

I really wish there was more media with gay characters who end up happy. And alive.

As a related aside: can't wait to go see "Love, Simon." I have read some good things about it. =)
