I am so incredibly happy I’m gay.
Do I say that enough? Ever? Do I have to? Should I constantly reassure people that I’m totally, totally down with being who I was born being? I don’t have to do any of those things, but both the Todd Glass episode of WTF and that incredible Gay Rights Movement video came out today (puns!) and I just feel incredibly happy being…gay.
I think this is a big step for every person outside of the norm, to be happy with who they are. To finally admit that, if I had the choice of being a Straight White Affluent Male, I would choose to be who I am. Hands down. Yeah, I’ve felt this way for a while now. This isn’t some shocking revelation, that I like being gay. I’ve felt this comfortable about it for years now. But barely years. Surely being with a man that I love so, so much helped this (I can’t imagine wanting to be straight, in a “Back to the Future 2” horror-reality where I’m not with Sebastian), and there were a number of years where I was fine with being gay but also knew that I would change it if it were possible.
I just want to state that, for the record, if Robin Williams Genie, Kazaam and the genie duck from “Duck Tales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp” appeared before me and gave me one wish, I would wish for infinite shelf space for my comic books in a heartbeat and not even consider being straight. It’s great being who I am.
Also who I am is a nerd with a serious comic book collecting problem and I need that shelf space.
