Introduction | I'm just an average guy living in the red state of South Carolina. An avid liberal when my politics revolved around being gay, I became more conservative throughout the 1990s. Confronted by reality on September 11th, I realized I had another closet to come out of - the conservative one. I've lost more friends since opening that door than I ever did by coming out as gay. Shattering people's perceptions of you is a messy business. The name of this blog reflects more on my political identity than my sexual orientation. Let me tell you, being conservative is considered the very definition of "queer" in the gay community. The mainstream gay political establishment has no room for diverse opinion, because god forbid someone define themselves without wrapping up in the rainbow flag. But I ask you this: isn't it depressing to define yourself solely by something as incidental as your sexual orientation and go so far as to allow it to affect everything from where you will live to with whom you will be friends? |
