I'm not mainstream anything. One who lives in the moment cannot be because in living in the moment one must be guided by the spirit of love in the moment. It means that one cannot really depend on her attitudes, beliefs or traditions. It has been an interesting life, to say the least.
Why write this? My childhood classmates have found me. I did not have a happy childhood. A queer in Mississippi . . . need I say more? I'm having a jolt of ptsd with simply the thought.
This is to those children who venture to this blog from facebook.

Hello.

Nope. Not married. Ya'll don't let folks like me get married. Well . . . except in a few states. And it won't count in other states, and surely doesn't help come federal tax time.
Nope. No kids. I knew I was queer a loooooooonnnnngggggg time ago. Yep. When you knew me, even in elementary school. Queer.
Got a job. I'm a nurse in an intensive care unit. I do that one on one, deep intimacy that is required to help a person heal themselves. And, by the way, it doesn't matter to me how they pay for their hospitalization or the color of their skin, or their sexual orientation nor even how they gender identify. Don't care. It's about love.
Nope. Not christian. Not enough love in your organized christian churches for me. Some christians are beginning to come around but even they still have these rules that the spirit of love doesn't recognize.

Now you can decide if you want to friend me on facebook.
