RE: Hi Steemians! This is me: Finally Free

Welcome to an awesome community! Y'all are a beautiful couple, and are more than welcome 'round these parts, lol. Being from the South, I understand the narrow minded, religiously fueled, view points and lifestyles. Almost like evolving your existence, or with your society, is sinful in their eyes. I don't think being holy, means living in the far distant past. Just one man's humble opinion. Anyways, glad y'all are here, I'm going to bounce over to your wife & brother's pages, too. See what everyone is about :) Cheers!

Thank you for the warm welcome! Being from NYC and now living in TN it’s crazy to see the difference in political and social views. It’s sooo much more conservative and less progressive here. Being a gay, biracial couple here is definitely hard at times in the Bible Belt. Whereabouts in the south are you from?

Oh yeah (I mean no offense here), y'all are like a unicorn down here. I'm do South, on the Alabama coast. I have nothing but respect for what you probably have to deal with. Don't think twice about kickin' an ignorant redneck in the family jewels, if need be, lol. I also hope people wisen up to the notion that it ain't their business. Congratulations on, what I would imagine was, an amazing wedding.

Haha, thanks! Yeah, I can feel the glares when we are acting like a couple in public. I can tell a lot of people are still completely uncomfortable with it. Also, the fact that we are biracial makes us stick out even more. But I won’t let other people’s homophobia or judgement keep me from being me and proud. I will be posting more about our wedding soon so look out for that 😊

Cool! And I bet, but I think it's beautiful. Like a yin-yang :)

Thanks! She definitely is the yin to my yang in so many ways 😊 Are you on discord? You can find there as introspector7913.

Of course! What servers do y'all kick it in regularly? My username is the same.

So I’m so new to this that I’m only in like 1 server. I’m trying to figure out how to get connected to more. If you know of any you think would be good to check out let me know!
