Sexual Persuasions and Perceptions

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 6:37 PM

I have been asked many times since here on dA if I am a lesbian. I have seen this same question posed on most Images posted here showing two women together, even if they are not demonstrating any sexual connection. I have seen emotive works referred to as “gay”. I have seen those publicly speaking of their own sexuality referred to as freaks, and informed that they are bound for hell, if they dare to not conform to the “accepted” choice. I have seen a lot. And it interests me.

What are the “classifications”, hmmm?? What ARE our choices?? We have Straight (VERY popular), we have Bisexual (more popular if this is between women), we have Lesbian (very popular if they are both hot... although they are usually consigned to hell in the end... with a thank you for the titillation), we have Gay (popular in Yaoi, but for the most part only looked at secretly and denied any validity... also consigned to hell... and deservedly so according to many), and then we have Transgender... often designated as freaks, misfits, and (dare I say it... ) DEVIANTS!! *gasp * (and in actuality having nothing to DO with sexual persuasion, but instead with gender designation).

So. What am I?? None of the above actually. Do you know why? Because I do not “classify” my love for others. I love whom I love. Male, Female, Transgender... what difference does that actually make? Please be VERY honest here, my friends... and you know what? You don't even have to state it out loud... BUT... think to yourself... what IS love??

Books have been written on the Topic, of course. Wars fought, babies made, and lives lost...

Here is a well known excerpt from the Bible, even:

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8

I see no specified sexual persuasion here. If you love someone... you love them. And ALL of the Lesbian, Bi, Gay, Transgender, and Straight friends that I have, happen to demonstrate the above qualities of Love in their own lives... because they are good people.

Some people however, need a form of qualification... a guideline, or measuring rod so to speak... so for those of you who wonder, I can be referred to as Pansexual [link] . If I love another woman, if I love a man, if I love someone who is transgender... I love them. I will share ALL of myself with them without reservation, without shame, and without regret. They are my friend. They are precious to me. They are a fellow human with whom I have a deep bond. Period. You will see me in public, holding hands, kissing (sometimes deeply) whomever I am with that I love. I do not hide behind closed doors. Ever. I refuse to apologize for loving my fellow human. Woman. Man. Transgender. We are all PEOPLE here, my friends.

We ALL need love, we ALL need acceptance, we ALL need affection, we ALL need validation, and we ALL need to be free... free to be who and what we are. Without judgment, without fear... and without loss.

Do you have feelings that make you uncomfortable? Ask yourself why. Can you tell a friend of the same sex behind closed doors that you love them, can you kiss them and hold them... and then in public feel a need to assume a distance from them?? WHY?? To please WHOM?? This is a betrayal of YOURSELVES. AND those whom you love. And the longer it takes for us to “come out”, the longer it is going to be until more people can admit that love is love. There is NO shame... none whatsoever. Be PROUD of who you are, and the choices that you make... do not judge those of another choice... ACCEPT freely ALL others.

I know many of you that are Straight and have dear friends that are not... and I know many of you that are NOT and have dear friends that are Straight!! THIS is beautiful to me!! Acceptance!!

Let's get some perspective here... let's play “what if” for a moment. What if Straights were considered the freaks? The unacceptable?? The untouchable?? The deviant?? What if Straights were destined to hell if they revealed that they could be attracted to the opposite sex??

Think about that please, the next time you find yourself in the company of someone who makes a choice other than yourself. Do you realize the STRENGTH it takes to openly state your choice when it does not “conform”??? Do you have any idea what it feels like to be told you are going to burn in fiery torment for simply loving another human being?? For LOVING??

What is the purpose of this Journal? Am I asking for all of you to spill your own sexual perspectives and/or choices? No. I am merely asking you to think... and to support fully, without judgment, ALL choices. Straight?? Cool!! Bi?? Yay!! Lesbian?? Wonderful!! Gay?? Fantastic!! Transgender?? Woo Hoo!! Pansexual?? Hell Yeah!!

We are all together in this, my friends... in one way or another. Let go of the “ predisposed ” thinking. Accept. Embrace. Let go of fears... and please just be happy... and allow others the freedom to be happy as well...

The strip shows a range of greys from pure black to pure white. You should be able to see a clear difference between each shade of grey, ranging from pure black (left) and pure white (right).

Gray Ramp

Along the top of the strips are alternate patches of black and dark grey. If it looks solid black to you (look very carefully), your monitor's brightness setting is too low. Increase it until you can -just- perceive the difference between the grey and the black squares.

Pass this along in your journals, it will help new and old deviants view your work as it should be seen! :blowkiss:

Journal Entry: Fri May 9, 2008, 8:04 PM

A friend.

I have people on occasion ask permission to draw or paint one of my Images... there are currently several paintings that are in the works, and I can't WAIT to see them!! :excited:

Here on dA I have a dear friend however, that has shared with me one of her drawings!! :clap: She is one of my youngest watchers, and at the age of 14 she shows a maturity and comprehension that leave many three times her age looking like idiots!! Her name is Morgan, and I wished to share with you, all of my friends, this gift she has made for me!



She is just so wonderful, I can not say!! :nod:

Thank you Morgan, I love you sweetie!!!! :heart:

True Art...

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 21, 2008, 12:40 PM

So my friends, it has finally happened. Michael :iconpelicanh: has been made to see the light and decided to post TRUE Art. I think we should all support his decision, so when you have a chance go and look at his latest work and give the man some love...

To My Friends... * FINAL Update

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 15, 2008, 11:38 PM

*FINAL UPDATE!!

I wish to thank you one and all for your overwhelming love and support on this day... I am so overcome by emotion, I can not even begin to tell you! I have receive more comments, notes, and such an outpouring of love, there is no way possible to respond adequately.

Mere words can never begin to express my love and thankfulness for you all... truly you are an amazing group of friends...

Thank you again from the very bottom of my heart... :heart:

Thank you so much for your support here, I truly do appreciate it. As Michael noted in his own Journal, the person commenting on my Gallery today is a very sad individual indeed, and actually has my pity. :(

I have reported him to the Help Desk, and I wished for you all to know that for now I will be TEMPORARILY hiding any comments you choose to make to him so that his comments will remain on my front page for Admin. to see for themselves what he has done here... please do not take this personally... I simply feel that he needs to learn that there are consequences for his actions.

I love you all so much, and thank you again for your outpouring of support!! :heart: :blowkiss:

NOW... on a lighter note, here is a funny video to lighten the mood a bit!! It makes me laugh every time I see it!! :giggle:

Love Mail *Update*...

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 8, 2008, 9:55 AM

:spotlight-left: *Update :spotlight-right:

I just wanted all of you to know that Michael =Pelicanh has started to receive your Post Cards!! Yay!!! Keep them coming my friends... :boogie:

*End update
_______________________________________

Many of you already Watch Michael =Pelicanh, but some of you do not... he posted this Journal today [link] which I hope each and everyone of you take the time to read and comment on. The Images that he has shared as part of his story are found in his Scraps.

On the Image of the envelope in which he receive this horrid communication, there are several comments from his watcher's, and ONE stood out in particular to me...

*varx44 proposed: And now that everyone on dA has Michael's address, there's only one thing to do: everyone send him a postcard from wherever you are in the world! Woohoo! :D

And you know what I think?? I think this is a WONDERFUL idea!! Not just for Michael, but for ALL of us!! I know I will be sending Michael a Post Card as soon as I am off of Bed Rest, and I am asking all of YOU to do the same.

I have asked that he keep all that he receives... and I will use all of them to create a lovely Work of Art that we will then share here with all of YOU, the contributers to the Project!!

Any of you that feel inspired by this idea as I do, please post also your own Journals linking to mine... let's spread the word on dA... let's see how many we can bring together to show people such as this asshole that the world is FULL of people who can love, who are kind, and who care... he is a minority of 1...

One Week Ago Today...

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 28, 2008, 1:49 PM

I finally underwent Surgery to remove my Cancer... and needless to say, I survived!! :D

The operation itself wound up following an unplanned course, as there were complications that arose and had to be dealt with, but all in all I am doing QUITE well, considering!! Yay!! :clap:

I am just beginning to feel energetic enough to once again interact on here, but I feel badly because I am unsure as to how many comments I will actually be able to respond to.

Those of you who have known me for awhile know that I LOVE to chat with all of my friends here, and the last few Images that I have shared have not been so interactive as I like.

BUT... I am thinking that you would all possibly enjoy seeing some of the Images that I have to share, and maybe won't mind so much if I can not respond as usual yet... please know though, that I DO read all of your comments, and I appreciate them greatly.

So what do ya think?? Wanna see some lovely (in my opinion) Images?? Even if I can't chit chat so much yet? Do ya??

Hell YEAH, says I!! Let the Posting Begin!!! Wooo Hooo!! :boogie: :heart: :blowkiss:

Not So Shy

A Portrait of me... and her first Artwork of the Year!! Needless to say, I am sitting here with tears!

I can not truly describe Mischa to you... I really wish that I could. All that I can say is that on rare occasion a person can be blessed with meeting a precious soul. Mischa is one such, and I can not even begin to tell you how lucky I am for having her for a friend.

Please stop by her Gallery and show her some love... you will be blown away as well, I am thinking!! :nod:

I LOVE YOU Mischa!! :heart: :blowkiss: :heart:

An Explanation of Sorts

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 2, 2008, 3:33 PM

I logged onto dA this morning to find many, MANY notes from friends wondering if I was alright. Evidently my lack of interaction on here has caused some of you a bit of concern.

I am not one to air the negative aspects of my life in the open. I much prefer to share only the positive and fun... BUT, for all of that my life is just as everyone else's with all of the ups and downs inherent to "being".

That being said, I will share a little of what has been going on in my life recently, as well as what is in store. I feel badly that so many of my friends have grown concerned, and I wish to alleviate that for all of you.

Several months ago I was diagnosed with Cancer. Highly treatable, and fairly well contained. Several treatments and procedures later, it has been determined that a more aggressive sort of surgery is necessary. It was scheduled for the 8th of this month. :D

As fate would have it however, during my last "Cancer Free" trip (as Michael =Pelicanh and I have come to call them) to LA, I became rather ill... upon my return, I was admitted to the Hospital and underwent quite the series of tests. As it turns out, I needed a bit of emergency surgery, which took place this last week.

I am now returned home and doing quite well. My planned surgery has been rescheduled for the 21st of this month, and THEN... Shye will be back in town!! Hell Yeah!!

To celebrate my return to 100%, I will be returning to Michael's at the end of March for a much needed week of relaxation and snuggles!! :D

I DID manage to take a few Photos this past trip to LA, and Michael has shared a few Images that he took of ME while I was there as well. I will share some of these you as I am able over the next few weeks, and I will apologize in advance if I am not able to respond to all of your lovely comments as much as I would wish.

Sooo.... that's pretty much it for now. I will keep all of you posted of course, and I hope that all of YOU are well and happy!!

I love you ton's, and I can't WAIT to get this over with and get BUSY with life again, in just a short time!! :excited: :blowkiss:





:camera: CALIBRATING YOUR MONITIOR :camera:

The strip shows a range of greys from pure black to pure white. You should be able to see a clear difference between each shade of grey, ranging from pure black (left) and pure white (right).

Gray Ramp

Along the top of the strips are alternate patches of black and dark grey. If it looks solid black to you (look very carefully), your monitor's brightness setting is too low. Increase it until you can -just- perceive the difference between the grey and the black squares.

Pass this along in your journals, it will help new and old deviants view your work as it should be seen! :blowkiss:

(Thank you so much to the wonderful :iconbillsabub: for providing me this information!!) :heart:
