Being raised in a conservative generation has taught me to be prim and proper (and trying with my entire being to change that), now, on the other side of the Rockies, I am more free to express myself. I support the community, live in the community, and love the community, because it’s non threatening, non evasive, and safe.
I’ve gained more knowledge, understanding, and love for friends in this community more than I have in my hometown, where the conservative attitude is rampant!
From experiences of life, being judged for who you are, what you wear, or how many imperfections you had destroyed a person’s soul. I find the complete opposite here.
It awakens a person’s heart to see a straight person fly a pride flag outside their window…that’s an ally. and THAT is my Pride…Pride in the human spirit.
