Mom, dad… I’m a little confused.
About what?
Yes honey, what’s the matter?
She is a girl, he is a boy, but they do not define themselves as either.
Maybe they were abused.
Maybe attention is what they’re after.
-
I hear them speak, do you?
Yes, I do.
Why do they choose such a stance to educate?
It is their decision, we don’t need them to understand or relate.
…I guess you’re right…
Whether Black, brown, white…
…red, green, blue…
I am not straight, nor you gay…
I am me. You are you.
Together, we are They.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Sometimes I think people just need to mind their own business and not try so hard to dictate others' identities. But then those nosey people also try to take rights away from others- and they REALLY need to mind their own business.
This is very meaningful. I also believe that one should be able to live the life they feel comfortable living. In the U.S. our constitution guarantees that right. We have the right to the pursuit of happiness. Excellent work as usual Brett!
This was very positive and I truly believe that people should be allowed to feel comfortable with whatever makes them happy
