HELLOOOOO! GUYS LETS TALK ABOUT THINGS!
-
Such as? New Year Resolutions?
-
Sure! What were your guys’ New Years resolutions? Mine was the stereotypical resolution to “get more fit and healthy”, but I’m training for a tough mudder race so I should proooobably actually follow that one and step up my game! The other resolution I had was to stop being so freaking shy, get more involved in the queer and other communities,…[Read more]

Good luck for your training! You have my support! Good for you that you are already working on your resolution. I gave up on the annual get-fit resolution. Procrastination always gets in the way. Mine was to simply not worry about LABELS, and just be myself and pursue what I like. It’s all about the attitude!
-
Haha thank you! And yeah, the whole get in shape for the new year thing is so overrated. If I don’t have something to work towards I’ll be super into being healthy for like a week or so and then get bored of it :P Your resolution to get rid of labels is awesome! I think we all kind of trap ourselves into boxes based on what we and other people…[Read more]

Being healthy is a total test of endurance! And a constant battle to convince your friends to eat healthy with you. I just sort of accept the fact that I will always exist between the categories and more difficult to define. What are some of your labels that you think you can do without?
-
That is actually a really tough question! I mean, it’s kind of like we just get so used to being what people call us that we don’t even think to question it. Definitely one stereotypical label that I’m getting rid of is straight, because noooooo waayyyy. Even though I’ve been out to myself for years I just recently came out to my mom, who was the…[Read more]

Never had a girlfriend 9 years, 9 months agoI recently came out to myself (literally two weeks ago) and also just moved to the panhandle of Florida from England (military family) so I don’t know anyone and have not had any experience in this area. Plus I’m super shy and now live in the Bible belt…yay.
-
I used to live near the panhandle. It was a shitty bible belt, for sure. There are pockets that are more queer friendly, though. Is there a college campus nearby with an LGBT chapter?
-
I was looking at Pensacola State College and have yet to find information on an LGBT chapter there. It looks like there was an Equality House in Pensacola, but it shut down due to lack in funding. The Queer Girl City Guide: Pensacola is something I bookmarked for future reference, but I’ll be living forty minutes away from there so I don’t know…[Read more]
-
Lack of funding? Yeah, that’s north Florida. People don’t consider it the bible belt, but it is. The town I lived in had KKK sponsored billboard messages until the late 1980s. But any place that has such bold and angry hatred, there is a tight knit community with open arms waiting for you. Good luck with the hunt.

Also, I hope you’ve seen this: http://www.autostraddle.com/queer-girl-city-guide-pensacola-fl-157296/

Oh wow, that’s pretty disgusting. I’ve heard rumors about there still being KKK-like things around this area, in Alabama, and Georgia. I guess I’m not surprised, but it still sucks.
I’m hoping to make my way over to visit Pensacola once I get settled. It looks like a really nice place to be.
And thanks!
