Rainbow Week
This is probably the gayest week I've had in a long time, and I don't just mean watching From Justin to Kelly on Wednesday.
I went to a Power Up party with a couple of friends last night and there is just a completely different vibe to a place when 95% of the people there are gay. I don't know how to describe it, but it's definitely a unique feeling.
This weekend is LA Pride. I am volunteering with Angela on Saturday afternoon and I'm really excited about it. I've never gone before because no one else ever seemed interested. I've been curious, but afraid of the crowds. I'm hoping being a ticket taker for a few hours before I go exploring will help alleviate that concern.
I am not the best LGBT example in the world. I don't read afterellen.com unless someone links me to an article. I don't have a rainbow sticker on my car. I don't dress butch, or femme for that matter. I just kind of am who I am and the people who know me are fully aware that I prefer women over men (although some men are nice).
I've noticed that there's an almost required allegiance to all things queer among the LGBT community. I think that's sweet, but not everything with a gay theme is going to rock my world or deserve an accolade.
I don't know that I will ever fit into the LGBT community any more than I fit into the straight one, but I am finding myself more curious than I used to be. Hopefully tomorrow won't disappoint. =)
