I Need to Share This
I am a Progressive Vegetarian Feminist Gay American. I grew up in what I can only define as a toxic family. My father hates everyone regardless of politics, my mother is a high school drop out born again Baptist Christian and my siblings (brother and sister) both grew up to be born again Baptist Christian Republicans. My parents are divorced and my mother remarried her first husband, an alcoholic racist gay bashing child abusing prick. By the time I hit puberty I had no self esteem and in high school attempted to commit suicide because I felt totally alone and was surrounded by gay bashing religious fanatics (my father is violently anti-gay). You would think people would learn something after they nearly drive a teen to kill himself but no they all became a thousand times worse and by the time I was 17 I was completely on my own and severely traumatized. Some people think that after you come out that things get better but a lot of GLBTQ people like me live in severe poverty, although somehow I managed to go to college in Oregon. Even now in my thirties my family is even more anti-gay, Republican, racist, anti-feminist, and extremely cruel. I take some of the highest prescribed doses of anti depressants and anti anxiety medication because I have been diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depression Disorder. Although I have a biological family I feel very much like an orphan. I cannot trust any of them not even my mother who lies constantly to me about not being a bigot and continues to try and force feed her religion to me and has no respect for me. I tried being a part of the GLBTQ community but class discrimination, racism and other "isms" are just as common there as anywhere else. The only man I dated that was good to me died, and I am no stranger to abusive men. Being "femme" is often punished by other gay men (a form of sexism). I wanted to share this so that maybe others might learn from it, if it were not for my pets, my therapist, and my medication I would have killed myself a long time ago. I hope no one ever has to suffer my fate but I know that there are others that do and some don't last as long as I do. I am so happy that Obama is President and that GLBTQ civil rights have made advancements and hope someday no one will have to suffer the abuse and discrimination that have polluted my life. I hope someday my life will be something I like and not something I wish would just end, living with mental illness is not fun so if you know anyone that has it be kind and just try to understand how hard it is.

What do you expect when you insist on labeling yourself as a "Progressive Vegetarian Feminist Gay American"?
-
Mole. Trying too hard.

There's no time like the present.

This thing uses descriptors like, Progressive Vegetarian Feminist Gay American and mental illness like they are interchangeable. One to watch for in the death pool.

Mole. Trying too hard.
That was my first thought too.

I thought the same thing. She managed to include every trait that the DUers hate and use as an excuse for piss poor behavior.

What's the over/under on it being locked as off-topic for General Discussion?
-

What is the punishment, not getting F'd in the A by another dude?

It's a he, Flagator. Sort of.
If the subwaycat gets wind of this new DUmmie, I predict huge slappy fights.

5 bongs.

Oh geezuz.
Twenty-nine primitives have thus far responded.
They're taking this seriously.
Is there nothing that can't fool the primitives?

While this is probably a mole, if it isn't, I don't know why it bothers to continue to inhabit planet earth. Maybe there's a gay planet out there somewhere.

It must be a Progressive Vegetarian Feminist Gay American thing to never use paragraphs.
Can't even read the whole thing, but what I can see just screams: Emo Kid.
She should open up a veggie pizza place: Emo Pizza, the pizza that slices itself.

I am a Progressive Vegetarian Feminist Gay American
I am an American, I don't put qualifiers ahead of that.

Good grief, my eyes just glazed over trying to read that wall of text.
Note to the DUmbass who posted that screed.....paragraphs are you friend.
-
Perhaps it is just part of the ongoing trend that very few can form a proper paragraph or even spell for that matter. It drives me insane at times.
Of course I read on DU a post about a freshly graduated high schooler that could not even address a USPS letter. What exactly is going on in our schools! That is something I learned (I forget when exactly) around the third grade (1987).
Then again, the spelling and grammar issues seemed to begin with my age group and seems to be getting progressively worse to where kids today cannot properly address a letter. I am not a grammar nazi per say but we are talking about simple words like "want" spelled as "wont".

You sure this isn't the subwaycat writing as it's alter ego the gay male? :shrug:

9. Ohana
"Family" does not have to be biological. In Hawaii there is a concept of Ohana - family - and ha nai which is informal adoption (to raise, rear, feed, nourish, sustain) Ha nai is recognized by the State as having legal rights.
You can have DU Ohana that will nourish your soul. DU supports its members and has some of the most wonderful supportive kind-hearted people on the planet. Stay in touch with them.
Dreamsoldier has DU Ohana. All of the trauma and toxicity are behind him/her now. The sky is the limit for Dreamsoldier.
The good times are coming for Dreamsoldier.
