I don’t have a problem with women, men have been the dark spot in my life. My birth mother was treated so badly she could not keep me. I respect women and I feel sorry for them most of the time. I was finally able to meet my birth mother thanks to my adopted dad, who made my whole life better, and she is so small and delicate. She just cried when she met me. She said she didn’t think she’d ever see me again. I put her in a nice house and brought her a car. I’m her only child. She said she never wanted to have to give up another child. I totally forgive her and one of dad’s friends has her smiling all the time. I approve. He’s well off and she deserve to be happy.

I’m not homophobic because I’m also bisexual. I am not republican I have always been democrat. Becoming Gnostic saved my life and in every way. Thank You Jay, Mason, Luke, and Marc for finding me and giving me a new lease on life. It allowed me to give my mom a new lease on life as well. And, yes…she is coming to the next meeting, YAAAA!!!

Well I’ve always been respectful of women because I respected my mother and I loved her. I was fortunate to meet my wife early in life and she is the only woman I’ve ever loved. I can safely say I have no reason to dislike women so I don’t.

I have been racist in my life. I was republican in my younger years and that is the party of racism that is a fact. I was also Catholic and that played a big part in my personal, spiritual, and political views. The racism came to a screeching halt when a black man literally saved my life. He didn’t know me but didn’t hesitate to do what had to be done to keep me safe. I felt shame at first and then my eyes opened and I felt fortunate to have had the privilege to see the truth. From that moment I began to fall away from the republican party and my religion. It all felt wrong to me. I was a police officer and as I entered into my career as a judge, I was glad I could take on my duties with a level head, and non biased attitude, and conviction to insure justice was served for all people no matter their race, creed, or sex.

I am no long homophobic, I am no longer racist, and I am gladly no longer republican.

Women were a problem for me because of my mother. I can relate to Jordan and Shawn because my mother was just as bad. It didn’t leave me with a good first impression of women. I was mean to them, too mean or too nice. I didn’t understand them and for a while I decided it was better for me to just be homosexual. But I realized men could be worse than women. The guy that wrecked my dad’s house was my boyfriend and he was also my pusher. He kept me high so he could walk all over me. When he did that to my dad’s house it was over. I decided it was time for me to trust my father first because he actually did love me. I decided it had to be enough. I had to stop wanting something from my mother she was clearly unwilling to give. So…I have never been a homophobic. I am not a racist as I am biracial. I had no political affiliation until recently and I decided I liked being a democrat far more than a republican.

Well folks…Miles, Jordan, Shawn, I didn’t have a very loving mother either so I was always trying to find that in the women I became involved with. Women say men can sense when they are weak and vulnerable, well women can sense that in men as well. I attracted women who took advantage of my need to feel wanted and cared for. I thirst for affection was draining the life from me. I don’t talk much about my mother because she is mentally unstable, she always has been. She was always depressed when I was growing up. She wasn’t abusive but she didn’t pay men a lick of attention either. She smiled at me, rubbed my face from time to time, and all that did was make me thirst for more. So, I’ve never desired to use or abuse women in any way. I still don’t desire to do that and I’ve finally met someone who understands me and gives me all the affection I can stand. (big smile) Next to my daughter of course who I credit for leading me to a faith and a group of people that forever changed my life for the better. I was slipping into that depression and often contemplated suicide. I would hold the gun to my head and close my eyes. Something always intervened right when I worked up the nerve to pull the trigger. I was reminded I had a daughter that adored me, that needed me. Her mother didn’t only fail me, she failed my princess. We had each other and she always saved her father from the jaws of despair and death.

I was somewhat racist but not a fanatic. I just believed the stereotypes and sometimes kept my distances from black people believing they were hostile and dangerous. I did not like Asian people and that was terrible because I’ve learned my grandmother was Japanese. I realized that we can decide we hate a race not realize we are that race ourselves. My grate grandmother on my mother’s side was black. For some reason that comforted me more than learning I was of Asian descent.

I was homophobic until I met homosexual people and got to know them. I like my homosexual friends and now I realize they are born the way they are.

I was a republican because every person in my life in my circle was republican. That changed when I became a Gnostic because I could clearly see that was not who I was or wanted to be.

Hmm, I was one of those guys he didn’t love them ***s most of my life. There was no love in me. I was good for a drink, a dance, a night, but that was it. I refused to allow any of them to get pregnant because I didn’t want any ties. I was hard on women but I was and I still am hard period.

I think the only victims are those who are literally defenseless, that could be a woman, definitely a child, an elderly person, or a man. We are all but flesh and bone. At the end of the day, nothing can shield any of us from a monster out to get us.

I have never been racist, never been a republican, and I have never been homophobic. I’m pretty liberal, I just don’t like bullshit, that’s what rubs me wrong, that and snitches.

Although I do know where a man is at when he’s playing the field I don’t necessarily agree with it. I think we all have pockets of time when we ran a little wild and unchained, but when we decide it’s time to be responsible and descent, we get our shit together. That happened for me when I met my first wife. I thought she was the cat’s meow. I was wrong but I grew up because of my love for her. Love just makes you do the right thing even if it is sometimes bestowed on the wrong person.

I was homophobic and racist and I can safely blame it on my environment as I aligned myself with my paternal grandparents when my focus was on financial comfort. Believe it or not, sometimes things can bother you so deeply you through your hands up and say it’s not worth it. I’ve seen some really bad things dealing with the people in my paternal grand-father’s circle and I can see why he and my grandmother can’t relate to our way of worship. Their way allows them comfort in doing everything in a most ungodly manner. They lie, they cheat, they manipulate, they threaten, bully, and coerce people into doing things they aren’t comfortable doing. I was that person many times and it was a heavy weight on my shoulders. Doing evil deed becomes heavy after a while. It was not in my character. I was never comfortable hating others because of their ethnicity, and I secretly was attracted to women with darker complexions. I love naturally tan and golden-brown skin.

I guess I got that from my father.

.

I’m not homophobic anymore after rekindling my relationship with my sibling and parents. Man do I feel whole again. I was republican but I could never go back to that way of life again. That is the life of my grandparents and it was a miserable, selfish way of living that leaves a hole in you that grows and nothing you do fills it.
