Prejudice

I was born in 1958. I grew up in a white straight society. I was about 15 when Bowie hit the scene. A lad who liked him was beaten up at school as he must have been queer, so they reckoned (wankers). I got into black music and they were queer, well look at how they dance ! At the same time you were not allowed to like Bronskibeat because they were queer.
I missed out on so much good music because my peers said it was wrong, I missed out on so much everything because of prejudice.
Then I was not strong enough to say something. I dont know when I started to say fuck you, but I did.
I am white and straight but two of my good friends are lesbian and married, at my sons wedding there were 15 different countries represented, my sister in law is Thai.
Half of my extended family are Gay/Trans whatever does it matter ? It doesn't and anyone that says it does can do one.
I am not sure what this post is about (and it is mine !!!) but I suppose it is to say Fuck 'em. Do not let anyone decide what you like and what you should do or be.

egh the end.

I've never let anyone dictate the way i think , but there again i've never judged people either .... i don't go around thinking Trans , gay ,race, colour, or whetever, it just never enters my mind .... i have always just taken people as i find them , and if they are okay with me, then i respond in the same way same back.

i always give people the benefit of the doubt , until the day they give me good reason not too ... and i certainly don't 'tailor' my music tastes to what type of person i think somebody is, or how they may portray themselves ..... if i like them , i like them ..... Boy George probably gave off a negative impression to some people , but it didn't stop me liking both him and Culture Clubs music !.

And if people aren't friendly then i don't really worry about it anyway!

Oh come on, I finally make a serious thread.
If I added it up, hell as an example, my brothers is divorced (shock Catholic horror) his daughter, step daughter is lesbian. My nephew is Trans, and making a good living as a Burlesque singer. (pre covid)
The thing is who cares..
 
Couldn't care less about ones sexual orientation, colour of skin blah blah, doesnt bother me none. I reckon there are more interesting and despicable things about humans
