As I have let on numerous times in my last post and in my day to day conversations, yesterday was my 21st birthday. It was also the day of the pride parade. And to be fair, I didn’t just attend the parade, I marched in it with my fellow UUs and my friend Judy. It was a very high energy event and I was very excited to be a part of the parade. True, it was hot and I wasn’t wearing a suitable hat, let alone sunscreen with a suitable SPF (15 is not enough, I tells ya!), but I am definitely doing this again next year. ^_^ Continue reading ‘Happy Pride and Happy 21st Birthday’

Well, I am volunteering at Denver Pridefest on both the 21st and the 22nd of this month. I am also going to be marching in the pride parade with my fellow UUs from the Mountain Desert District. So yeah, next weekend is pretty full for me, as I will probably be operating some sort of booth and policing the area to ensure that no one is selling anything at the Pridefest without having paid the GLBT Centre first. Tomorrow is my volunteer orientation so that is what I am doing after I get through with Pathways to Membership at First Unitarian Denver tomorrow. Continue reading ‘Pridefest, yay!’
In a wonderful move towards marriage equality, the Supreme Court of California has legalized same-sex marriage and thus, provided another venue in the United States for marriage equality to be fully recognized. I would like to personally thank everyone that made this victory possible, but I sadly will not leave Colorado until I have my surgeries completed. But at least I know that when I find the love of my life, I won’t have to travel to Canada or the Netherlands to get legally married to her. Whee!
Sometimes, I think every transsexual gets shockingly inappropriate questions from moronic people and it hurts that even people that you considered friends ask these utterly demeaning and perverted questions. On the day (or maybe the day after) Facebook released the chat features of it’s website - I tried to strike up a conversation with an old friend of mine from Bible Camp (yes, when I was a Xian, I went to Bible camp…). Now, to ensure that he isn’t completely humiliated from my revealing this, I will be kind enough to remove his name. Continue reading ‘Creepy Questions from an Old Friend’
What is my biggest issue when it comes to LGBT advocacy? That is a very good question to ask, because there are a lot of issues that warrant equal attention. There are inequalities in adoption, a lot of internalized homophobia in a lot of people and there is no desire in the public school system to start teaching tolerance for LGBT people. A lot of people think that my priorities may have changed when I was gay bashed at Safeway the other day. But alas, they have not. While the incident at Safeway does pose a question of whether or not a city is truly LGBT-friendly, it has not changed my core passion. The issue that I fight for the most, and the one closest to my heart, is equal marriage rights. Continue reading ‘My biggest issue in the LGBT community’
You know, it’s odd. I have never thought that I could possibly like a guy. But last night was enough to make me feel that this is so right and that I should pursue this with everything I’ve got. When we both woke up that morning, we both had a breakfast that mainly consisted of pizza and biscuits. And yes, it was good. And I learned something new about my boyfriend, he does not like to kiss while eating. Continue reading ‘The First Day Together’
Howdy everyone! This is Jessica again, writing the blog that probably no one ever reads. ^_^ Anyway, this post is going to be quick - I just wanted to tell you all that I have a new boyfriend! For his sake, I am not going to say who he is but I am going to tell you that it was so magical last night and I believe that he is very well the closest thing that I will ever have to a connection. It all started so suddenly, because we met over at a LGBT event and one thing left to another. While we walked into my hotel room as friends, we are walking out tonight as a couple. And I find that really magical.
