Tumblr is NOT typical of the good ol' US of A!
I just found the most incredible Tumblr blog, on "staythatswhatimeanttosay" -- a lesbian who just married the love of her life. They've had some of the usual hassles of gay life:
"... My wife was fired from a job as a driver for a children’s occupational therapist because her boss saw us kiss at the mall - because she couldn’t have “that kind of person” around children. I walked myself down the aisle at my wedding because a church told my parents that it wasn’t possible for them to attend..."
BUT life turned out wonderful, as she reports:
"...This post I made... has literally tens of thousands* of notes... And not a single message I’ve received, not a single reblog that I have been able to find, has had anything to say but amazing, beautiful, kind words of congratulations. No bullying. No trolling. No inappropriate offers or lewd remarks. Out of tens of thousands.
"That’s not something I’m used to. It’s not something anyone in the LGBTQ community is used to.
"Do you even get how amazing you are? You, the denizens of Tumblr. Do you understand that? I am so exceedingly proud of you, you wacky kids..."
You can read her whole post on my page -- ultradevi.tumblr.com And you'll surely be delighted at the wedding photos!
