It's Okay To Be Gay! :)

Begin of blog song: Stand up- Flobots

     Hey guys, here's what's going on in my life, I've decided to join my school's GSA (Gay Straight Alliance). I was extremely worried at first though, for starters I didn't properly hear the announcement so I was scared that I'd have to go down to the office and speak to them directly about it. The problem with that, is if someone were to have walked in on me asking about the GSA, I would have been in big trouble. Let's face it, this is high school we're talking about, not just any high school, but one filled and ruled by the not so accepting part of Canada. One time when I was walking through the mall holding hands with my good friend K, I was asked, (by someone I don't know might I add) "Is that a best friend thing, or...(insert sneer here)" K, of course said "Best friends" I stood there slightly disgusted over the whole situation, and then the asker of the question (damn their soul) said, "Good." Good, the bastard. So, excuse me if I'm not exactly ready for this lil' secret of mine to come out. I'd rather do cartwheels out of the closet than be dragged out kicking and screaming.
     Anyways, so I was in an anxious state afterwards as I didn't exactly know what to do, and I really did want to be a part of it. So I told myself, that next time I'd listen intently to the announcements to get the details needed to be apart of this. Sadly, that day would have been today, and I'm home sick, so I sent a little message to K asking her to be the ears I needed that morning, and the only information she was able to come back to me with was that the club didn't start until next week.
     Luckily for me, I soon after found my friend B online, who (bless her soul) not only told me the name of the teacher in charge of the GSA, but she also understood my anxiety over the whole situation, and agreed to come with me for support. I'm not exactly sure how I got lucky with such a great friend, or I guess great friends, but no matter the "who, or the what, or the why" I thank God every single day that I was blessed with these wonderful accepting people, because if I'm being 100% with myself, high school would be hell without them, and I would never have been able to accept myself for who I am without them. So although you guys aren't reading this right now, and probably never will, thank you so much for being the support that I need. Not just B, and K, but also J and even my newest friend S, and maybe even her. Thanks guys, this one is for you as much as it was for me!
-Peace out girl scouts!
