Month: May 2011

  • Days thirteen through fifteen

    I've actually been posting this regularly on my deviantART...XD Just not on here or my tumblr.

    Day 13 - Your favorite LGBT role model/celebrity.
    I DO have an answer to this. Most definitely Ellen DeGeneres. She was the first person I ever saw in the public eye that was very out of the closet and had no qualms about it.

    Day 14 - Your favorite LGBT song or artist.
    That's another no idea. XD

    Day 15 - Your favorite LGBT quote.
    >.> "Love knows no gender"?

  • Day twelve

     Day 12 - Your favourite LGTB movie (or one you’d like to see).
    >.> More of this, eh? My previous answer counts and probably will for most questions like this.

    Wooooooo house is so much cleaner. Now to finish the kitchen.... I dun wanna, honestly but I need to. At least finish the dishes.

  • Days six through eleven

    Wooooooh spring cleaning! Yes, that's why I missed almost an entire WEEK. I actually did write them out, but I had my nets basically turned off, so I couldn't post them. But my house is mostly clean nows which is AWESOME. Just working on the kitchen on and off  and the dishwasher-which is now working-is doing most of that.

    So here goes!

    Day 6 - Did you face any problems regarding religion?
    Ugh, fuck yes. First off, My parents tried to "cure" me of my "sickness" when they first found out. It scared me so much that I was hiding in the back of an ocean-sized closet, and not caring if I suffocated as long as I never had to come out. But once I got older and accepted/admitted my feelings... it took less than three hours to realise that it should not be an issue, even according to my religion at the time.

    Day 7 - How your parents took it or how you think they might take it.
    Denial. I've never brought home a girl to them, so they are so far in denial it is ridiculous.

    Day 8 - What do you think the closet or being closeted means to you?
    >.> I have a grammar nazi moment because "what do you think...means to you" is redundant. Any ways, to me, being closeted or "the closet" means running away. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. But it means  that you are hiding and running from either yourself, or people around you.

    Day 9 - What do you think about LGBT Pride? Is it helpful or hurtful? Encouraged or unnecessary?
    It doesn't have to be one or the other, does it? To an extent, it's very helpful, and  even necessary, and  should definitely be encouraged. But too much of it is bad. Too much of it makes people resent what it stands for. We  aren't "better than" we  are "equal to" and I think a lot of people forget that. Plus I think there needs to be less "LGB" and more "T" pride. I think transgendered/transsexual people are highly under-appreciated, under-represented, and not taken seriously enough. They need more support and pride than the rest of us.

    Day 10 - What does marriage mean to you?
    Marriage is overrated. People put too damn much value in marriage when it's so easily revoked. I think that ANY partnership/civil union should have the same rights as marriage, and the fact that it isn't shows just how foolish and stupid people are. If I ever get married, it will be because many/most/all of the rights allowed to married couples are still not allowed to civil unions.

    Day 11 - Your favorite LGBT book (or one you’d like to read).
    Honestly, I have no idea. Never really read any or thought about reading them, honestly.

  • Days four and five~

    Was sick yesterday. D: posting today though <3

    Day 4 - The first person you came out to and that story.
    Guh,honestly, I don't even remember. I guess it would have been my best friend, but it was never a huge thing since she's bisexual. XD

    Day 5 - Thoughts regarding inner turmoil about your sexuality; Did you have any? Did it escalate to self-injury or suicidal thoughts?
    Hmmmm..well. Not really. I had enough inner turmoil, problems with self-injury and suicidal thoughts on my own without thinking about my sexuality. By the time I finally accepted that I did like my own gender, I had figured out that it wasn't a bad thing.

  • Day 3

    Right, so I decided I will definitely post these as separate entries, but I will put them  all in one entry when I am done with all thirty days. So now, on to day 3  :D

    Day 3 - How old were you when you knew? What was that like for you?

    I knew definitively when I was ten, and it wasn't really important. I didn't even know anything about it. I didn't know what sex was, what homosexuality was, that it was bad or wrong or anything.

    However I also feel that I must put how old and what it was like for me when I accepted it again, later on, because that was important to me. I was nineteen, hiding in a closet that was a mile deep, and had been doing so for many years by now. My boyfriend at the time urged me to confront the issues I had with my sexuality, because he was perceptive at times, that one. It was one of the best things he ever did for me. So I did just that, I took an afternoon to myself and dissected every emotion and hint of attraction I had ever had. And found out that not only had I experienced deep, romantic love for females, but also that I was much more attracted to them, and that it was much easier for me to love them that way.

    The first thing I felt was fear, because I 'knew' (read: wrongly believed because of how I was taught) it was wrong and bad, or I thought I did any ways. Then, somehow, I came to the realisation that, "wait, how could it be wrong to love someone?". Not talking about carnal lust, not talking about simple desire or attraction. Actual love. Regardless of the type. At that time I was still Christian, and my god was supposed to be a god of Love. And I realised that he would never, ever punish someone for loving someone else. I had never felt such acceptance and peace than I did at that moment. It marked a huge turning point in my life.

  • Day 2~

    Yes I know, technically I posted the last one today, but only by one minute. XD It was meant for yesterday though. So on to day two!

    Day 2 - Did you have any experiences as a child that might have foreshadowed your sexuality?

    Hahahahaha... Right, the first time I was aware that I liked girls in a different way from guys, I was eight. Yep, that's right. Eight. And I had my first girlfriend at ten, although that led to some issues with my sexuality that it took my whole life to get over. (loooong story short, parents told me I was sick and wrong, tried to "cure" me, the incident totally traumatised me for most of my life. It was a factor in me wiping my memory of about five or six years of my life.) So I don't think I had any that really foreshadowed it. It was too obvious for that. Although yes, I am pansexual, I still am more attracted to femininity, regardless of gender.

  • Ohhhhhhgeeze look who's back.

    Wow. It's been fuckin ages, ain't it?

    Wellll I decided to try to start blogging again. -nods- Not just blogging either. Writing and posting old poetry and doing random things. One of the reasons I stopped writing is I am avery paranoid person. In an extremely odd way. I'm always very afraid that someone will steal my work, and I wont be able to prove it's mine. What makes it weird is that I think I'm an absolute crap writer and that my stiff sucks. Yet somehow I'm afraid someone's gonna steal the shit I produce... XD Any ways yeah. Trying to get over that fear. First off because I still have access to my fictionpress account which has definitive proof of dates and that I own all my old stuff. Second because I'm also using my deviantART account to post them as well. So more proof.

    ANYWAYS I'm starting the blogging off with a thirty day challenge thing. :D

    I Found this neat LGBTQ quiz/challenge on tumbler and decided to try it. Hopefully every day I'll post a question and the answer to it. While trying desperately not to answer them all at once. I might simply update the same entry to keep it organised... Maybe not though, not sure.

    Day 1 - Your sexual orientation or gender identity. Be creative in your definition.
    Well first off I think it's abit difficult to be  creative with this. However my gender identity is weird. I'm half girl, half guy. No, not joking. Half of me is a very, very, very gay male, I basically call that half Markus, or Marc for short. He's been around for my entire life. And then there's me, Marina, who is a pansexual female. For those of you who don't know, pansexual means I don't give a fuck about gender. You can be male, female, both, neither, whatever. Gender is a complete non-issue to me.
