Welcome to Florida. I grew up in the Tampa Bay area. I hope you had a good visit. I found your vlog yesterday and really enjoy your candid discussions.
A reverse complaint you'll hear from detractors of Gay Pride celebrations goes something like this, and it's so stunningly tone deaf. "Why do you all get a special time to show off? What about a 'Straight Pride' deal for us?" My response is this. "Just think about it for one second! How many times in your life is 'Straight Pride' not a constant drone, emanating from every kind of media. You're soaking in it, Blanche! Gay Pride is that time once a year when all 'queer' people have a chance to shake up the status quo, simply by asserting our presence and saying that we too exist, and fur- thermore, to announce that we deserve equal status across the board." In Grade 11, the guidance counselor Mr. Pope initiated what he called an 'encounter group' to meet every week in what amounted to an unused storage closet. An interesting idea--enlist a group of six to eight mid-teen malcontents to really open up about the bugaboos most on their minds! What could go wrong, eh? I don't remember any particular 'guidance' coming from the counselor (--lOl--), but there must have been some. Anyway, about a month in, I came out to the group. For me, in the moment, it was kind of fraught--some last-minute jitters, I guess. The word I used to hinge all this upon, and my chosen identity at the time, was 'queer'. I felt that the word 'gay' was too outré and too confining. I didn't quite relate to it, although in truth, it fit me to a 'T' !! I guess I felt that saying I was 'queer' had less baggage attached--fewer knee-jerk associations to get in the way. Of course, today I have no beef with identifying as gay. Yeah, so that was in 1970, and I was 16. Although I had no word for it, I had known since I was six that I was a little gay boy--just a distinct feeling that I was different that way. In many ways, that realization changed me, and it wasn't easy. I toned down my natural boisterous way, became more of a silent observer so I wouldn't slip up, seemed to operate myself by remote control, and feared awfully being found out. Talk about masking--a bravura performance, though futile !! =//= RWH ps. I'm done with virtue signaling. These days I'm into virtue trumpeting!
I'm so sorry but your butch Regan bf isn't gay he's playing you my ex bf did this to me and it's totally soul destroying you will learn the hard way fella I've been watching your videos since day one he doesn't like you recording him or his kids. Your playing with fire 🚒🔥 and in the long run you will find out the hard way he has an ex gf for a good reason I would stay clear of him if it call goes wrong he would batter you. I can see your slightly anxious of him 💯
Uh, pretty sure if you're holding British incredible Hulk's hand-you are NOT going to get punched regardless of where you are. Maybe that's some personal growth that needs to happen about not caring about what bigots think of you. How do you have a personal health channel & won't hold your partner's hand in public exactly? You probably shouldn't be doling out advice to anyone.
I can’t bear children, but that fault is mine not the children’s. I have HUGE respect for fathers and mothers, because the idea of having to take care of kids, or to tolerate them, is absolutely terrifying to me.
Do not change things/ a family is a man and a woman not two men/ two men cannot produce one/ as a product/ cannot make a nature family/ do not change nature
Really good video. Thanks!! Trusting gut will vary a lot as most of us have had (lower case) traumatic experiences in our infanthood or childhood attaching to our caregivers or dealing with authority figures etc. So when as adults our gut (aka our nervous system) tells us people or situations are unsafe our automatic response may be wrong or “maladaptive”
2:51 celebration was designed based off of the town in North Florida called Seaside. It’s the exact town that the Jim Carrey film, The Truman Show was filmed. I was born near Seaside in Destin, Florida. There is some fascinating information about Seaside Florida on RU-vid. 3:35 I had to throw that in because I remember when they were filming, it was in the local paper.😊
Years ago and years ago it was a yes. I was raised Catholic. But then there was an interim of "maybe." And now I am a solid "No, I like this part of myself."
Very cool to watch you two handsome UK RU-vid celebrities at Savoy Orlando -- which is not far from my house! I'm sorry I wasn't there that night! Your videos are always fun to watch. It would be awesome to see you guys explore Key West sometime! A very fun town! Allegiant Air has a some great non-stop fares from the Sanford/Orlando airport.
