2nd Post of 2013
At first, I was going to name this blog post "Explanation," but then I came to my senses and realised I don't owe one.
When I wrote the poem "My Chance" in '09 I really didn't know how powerful it really was. I was writing a friend in England who had just married his partner. They were greeted by many antagonists who hailed, slander, and many types of hate speech when they left from their ceremony. Why? Because two men in love just wanted to express their love like normal people do.
Whoa! Did I just say that word?
Normal!
Let me answer that for myself. I will try not to be crude. I've been married, and in many subsequent heterosexual relationships just to prove I wasn't gay or hiding the fact that I was gay. This goes all the way back when I was 12 years old. Those relationships as far as the bedroom weren't normal, to me! Not one ever felt like it was right, normal, and I'll even say a God-given gift.
I'm truly sorry for the many lives I've ruined due to this fear I let cripple me. I just pray I'm one day able to help someone younger than I with this same fear and let him know that what he or she truly feels, is not wrong. By this, it doesn't just save his life, but the lives of possibly many more. So for those who say we're not normal are just are wrong because what you do is not normal to me. However, I don't condemn you for it, I hope I'm able to enrich your relationships just as I hope you do mine.
Anyway, Chris and Edward are still married, and I wish them all the happiness God has given them!
Peace, Billy
