Things about me that can offend people.

OK. So this has been an interesting week.. I guess I offend two people at work all the time. This I did not know.   And of course it has to do with my being gay.

So first person. I work with this older Romanian woman who is very old school Christian. She has known that I am gay for quite some time now. But she insists that I meet a nice boy. Yea like that isn't offensive to me! So she was asking about my New Years. If you have read my post from that you know most of the story. But to summarize for her all I said was.. I had a great New Years, saw an old friend and I met a wonderful woman. That's it people! That offended her! But during our conversation. She never said, "Hey, I really don't care to hear about that." And what she said to me.. "I'm glad your going to church so that you can cured of your ways." ........ What?! Yes, you read that right. She actually said that to me. I went off. I pretty much said, I don't care how you were raised, or what you believe. You don't say something like that to someone! That's effing rude! Anyways. My comment about my New Years offended her so much that she ran to a friend of mine (and hers) and angrily (yes angrily) informed her that she doesn't want to hear about my gay life. (She told our friend a couple of days after the incident or something..)

Fast forward to the conversation with my friend. She's telling me about the older woman's request for my laying off the gay talk. I said, Okay. I can that, I'm just not used to censoring myself anymore. (Which sucks by the way!) But apparently while my friend and I were having this heart to heart. She informs me that some of the things I say offend her! And that she doesn't agree with my choices because homosexuals disgust her now. But she still loves me as a person and will always be there. What?! How the hell isn't that offensive??? I mean seriously! I'm still pissed about that one! She then proceeded to tell me a story about a friend of hers that was saved and stopped being gay due to his being saved. Again.. What?!

This is exactly why I have such a problem with religion. Why can't I be gay and religious? Didn't God create me the way I am? I was born gay, so I'm going to with.. Um... Yes, he did! WTF!

You know what I find interesting.. It's wrong for me to offend other people. But it's perfectly fine for them to insult who I am. I'm watching what I say at work now. And the gall of these people....... They come up to me and their like, "Hey why do you look so down?" Uh duh I can't act like myself around you effing people! It's crap.. I can't wait to leave this state and these people behind.
