STOP THE HATE!!! Hugo and ! attend the ANTI-GAYBASHING RALLY

      RALLY 1
 

Today was the ANTI-GAYBASHING RALLY.  Hugo a Go-Go & I got to Nelson Park just as the march was about to start.  There was a huge crowd... we started down Thurlow Street towards Davie.  I saw Insabear there with a gagle of other bears.  It was sort of uncorfortable, but not really that bad.  We spoke breifly and then he excused himself without incident.  I was impressed with that.  I wasn't sure what he might do when we finally saw each other again.  He has acosted Hugo a few times at the Pumpjack asking him why I don't call him anymore, or even go to  PJ's.  It's not only because of Insabear I don't go often.  Gay bars have NEVER been my gig.  I always see the same kinds of dudes hanging out there.  I am hoping that today is a new beginning [or at least a tolerable one] with Insa.  I'm stilled really pissed at him, but I think my distane has subsided somewhat due to being loved and respected so unconditionall by Hugo...and Marc... and Brentage.  And realizing that I deserve to be.  I just don't want to have people in my life that treat me badly, talk down to me, bad mouth me  and don't appreciate me.  The guys in my life NOW show me everyday how much they care for me.  It is a first.  After dumping my loser-family,  I realized I could no longer be anyones whipping-boy. I wasn't put on this planet to a be the target of misplaced anger.  I just want to be loved unconditionally.  That's all.  It's simple really.  I think this rally is my collective way of saying to anyone out there that thinks they can get away with abusing others, gay or straight, FUCK RIGHT OFF... YOU DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT... AND YOU NEVER WILL.   I was very moved today by all the people who come out and supported this.  The man who was bashed IN A GAY ESTABLISHMENT last week needs all the love and support of his community.   I was glad to participate.  I took a lot of pics & video. Here are the best of them.
