It's been such a shock to return to this RED state where most people are gay hating Republicans after my little vacation in NEW YORK STATE, where most people are Democrats, and nobody gives a damn about your sexual orientation.

I am so proud of my boyfriend Jorge - he is the first person of color to ever hold a management position at a Walmart in Georgia. In just a few months, he has gone from a part time visual person, to being asst manager. It's been rough just to hear what he's had to go through at that place - I would have had a melt down the first day. He says that if there is any real work - mental or physical - the white people call the blacks over to do it. Someone has a question - "call Henry"
- if there is a delivery- "all team B associates report to the loading dock" etc...When Jorge got the promotion they told him he was the first Black to be an asst manager. When he said he was not Black but they could call him a "person of color" they thought it was the funniest thing they had ever heard- "we thought you didn't want to be called colored?"
