It is over
11 years ago
Over the past 2 weeks I have been shown by many on Skype and those who also attended GEMMACON (who it is positive that they are far wiser then I am) that what I do, love, what I am, who I am, the things that interest me and more or less every facet of my life that gave me happiness or joy is wrong.
It should not be discussed, practiced, shown in a public setting, due to the indisputable fact that if even one person might be offended by a belief, practice or action. I speak of my love of MLP: FIM, being AB, DL, ABDL, gay, an independent free thinker. Since even one person is offended by any one of those listed loves of mine they need to be secret, hidden and thought of in the same light as any other act a person might do that would bring harm, embarrassment or shame to another such as any illegal act.
If even one single person would have said "you know what, to heck with those people who don't approve of whatever, if doing X makes you happy, then do it however you want. I mean it is not like -ANY- of the things I am or love to do ever would have brought any actual substantial real world harm to another.
Alright, I surrender, you win. Everything I love to do and believe is shameful, so I will be hidden and speak and be seen no longer.

I want to talk with you. On skype. As soon as you can. Please.
I tried to talk to and get your viewpoint, and background on many things that one night. The problem here is that you're seeing things in absolutes, black and white only. In this tired day and age, everything is shades of grey where there are no concrete right or wrongs. There is only the given situation and it's mitigating factors.
To be philosophical about it: People will question what they do not know; what they do not know, they do not understand; what they do not understand, they fear; what they fear, they hate; what they hate, they end up seeking to destroy.
Or in a historical sense if you prefer; people have been persecuted for being gay, or even being remotely flamboyant; you know such all too well. Areas where we were aren't exactly the most progressive of locations in the world, and we'd rather not challenge everybody's entire set of stereotypes in a single day - change is gradual, like it or not.
If you really wish, we can discuss this more at length elsewhere.
