Well it's June
5 years ago
Sooo yeah, we all know what's going on, I know, there's lockdown going on, and here in the US we have riots and protests going on, but I'm not going to get into those, you can find plenty of people talking about it, I just kinda wanna toss out some stuff that's going on in my life I guess.
So well, I've been working and doing my own thing as best I can with the lockdown going on, still keeping my job which I'm happy with even if hours are cut down still going to work during the week has been good to help me not go stir crazy during this whole lockdown thing.
But now, it's pride month, and I kinda wanted to talk a bit about it this year, kinda wishing I did this before now, but I can't do much about that right now I guess. I was thinking this year of going to some events and such for this month, but nothing was likely going to happen with it due to the virus going on, which sucked, but it's been interesting seeing something happening for a little bit now which I wanted to talk about with what month it is, or maybe just bitch about? I'm not sure really.
Basically, I had a friend of mine who, a bit ago myself and my group of friends opted to stop hanging around with him for personal reasons I don't have the time to get into, and recently he's turned into a born again christian I guess. Well, we talked a little bit again, it's been about a year and a half, two years, and he looks like he's made some changes in his life, and some of the guys started talking with him again. He never said it to me, but I guess he was trying to get people to come to mass with him, and confessional, but whatever. So we talked some, seemed to be going okay, he was saying how finding Jesus has helped him with personal issues and shit, okay that's cool.
And then, I get a message from one of my friends, showing me his 'secret' twitter account where he's mostly posting about god and stuff, okay whatever, talking about how we should abolish the separation of church and state? Which is concerning, and my favorite, him saying that people need to resist the, let me use the term he's using, "Globohomo" during June and that pride is a sin. And all while talking all friendly like with me and wanting to get all buddy buddy again. So I talked with him in private, and he said stuff like how he 'loves the sinner, hates the sin' and stuff like that, and I kinda blew up at him for being what I felt like was being pretty twofaced with me, and he kept trying to argue that he wasn't being an asshole while he's putting stuff like that out there and he's known me for the better part of 10 years, and he's known I'm gay for a while now.
But I'm back on non speaking terms with him. What's the point of this story? Who knows, I'm frustrated I guess.
