I can't thank you enough for writing this. It's like you took every feeling and thought in my head and put it together in a powerful and cohesive form.
This:
I’m uncomfortable with people who wear socks with sandals, but I’m not about to go make picket signs and lobby for them to change their ways.
made me laugh. The entire last paragraph? Made me cry in its honesty.
I've been feeling a lot of anger tonight because of the whole Target/Best Buy thing. Other reasons too, but it was sort of the thing that tipped me over the edge. I'm so tired of being told to shut up and live with it. I'm so tired of not talking about it. And I am so so so tired of straight people telling me its okay, because it really isn't.
I adore you. Thank you for expressing your thoughts. I am much better for having you in my life.
