		<description>See, that&#039;s the problem Brandy. If I do what I want then I still suffer and so does everyone else. I&#039;d never hear the end of it and in turn, again be miserable.

Someone in my family once said, &quot;stay in the closet because nobody will accept you.&quot;

I had to come out, because I was suffering living a lie far worse than telling the truth, but even in truth, nothing is perfect. I just wish everyone could understand this isn&#039;t a choice. This is just who I am. Unfortunately, these things are more important to some people than being accepting and sometimes...that means cutting these people out of your life, even if its painful...If it hurts. The pain is sometimes the right thing to do.

Hopefully, that goes away, eventually.</description>

		<description>Hey Kara,

Thanks for posting and visiting. I need to fix a few things to spiff up the site, but thanks for the compliment! 

It goes much deeper then that, but I don&#039;t like drama so I&#039;ve tried to stay very reserved about what I say on my blog. I have talked a lot with Ash about it and some things have happened that have made me kind of angry. Nothing I care to really talk about on my blog, but they say anger is a stage in grief right? Let&#039;s hope that I can breeze past this stage on to acceptance!</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing your life with us!  I always enjoying reading your thoughts.  As fars as what to do...that&#039;s up to you.  I would just follow my heart.  You&#039;re the one that has to live with what you decide.  Don&#039;t do what you feel is best for others.  Do what&#039;s best for you.</description>

		<description>Dom,
Thanks for sharing the complexity of this issue-I know they are only words but I&#039;m sorry discrimination puts you in such a tough place with the people that you love.
Great post and where have I been?! This site looks awesome!</description>
