i was born and raised in Arkansas. I was raised in a Southern Baptist church. I was raised to believe that guys don't wear earrings, only outlaw motorcycle gangs and thugs have tattoos, skinheads are racist, and being gay is a sin against God.
That being said:
I've been shaving my head since i was 15, and i have many black friends. I have earrings (and a nipple ring, but that's a whole nother story). I have 8 tattoos (one of which is a rebel flag), and i'm neither a thug (although i look like one, i admit) or a 1%'er.
I really thought i'd have a problem with the gay thing, but as i get older i realize you gotta do what makes you happy, i understand that people are born gay. I don't get it myself, but if you dig it, more power to ya. I have no problem with anyone who's not a complete asshole or bitch. I get along with everybody. I think it's awesome that you have enough nuts to come out and ask. If anyone in my family saw this, i'd be ostracized, but that's how i roll.
I've gotta qoute my boy Chris Rock on this and say "Gay people need to be able to be married, they have just as much right to be miserable as everybody else."
