Glamorous in The Road Ahead

Spent today in drag at Pridefest Milwaukee. Not bad for a Fischer Price My First Drag Queen. Got a couple of compliments on my wig and was told I looked like Carol Burnett. Ate delicious pizza with vegan cheese, went to a drag show dance party, and now I’m ready for sleep! Tomorrow’s outfit is even cuter than today’s and I’m excited for it. I was annoyed by the blond stormcloud that hung over my day as soon as it started, but eventually I pushed past it and started to relax and enjoy myself.

Pride means a lot to me, I came out as bisexual when I was 15 and caught a lot of flak for it. I’ve been treated differently by both men and women, because bisexuality is looked at as this transitional stage rather than it’s own stable foundation. Guys worry I’m going to treat them like they treat women and women have refused to have me as a partner because they think they’re going to get HIV since I’ve had male partners. 🤷‍♂️

I’m glad that pansexual came along, because I’ve spent my life living and loving in the grey areas and it fits me even better than bisexual did. My understanding and acceptance of others regardless of who they are has kept me on the fringes and today I realized something important. Fuck normies. I’m tired of loving in the shade cast from the mainstream. Either you’re a fucking weirdo like me and we’ll get along or you can take a hike with the rest of them.

I know I shouldn’t have, but my one year divorcaversary is coming up at the end of the month and I gave my ex a quick search. She got her nose pierced, she looks well. I miss my goddamn cats and she won’t talk to me unless it’s about money. I miss having a vegan partner. I didn’t realize how important that was to me until it was gone. My current partner search is being restricted to vegans/vegetarians only. I was a carnist before my ex and I got together and I quickly made the connection and ditched animal products, so I know it’s possible. But I also know most people don’t understand or care as much as I do. That’s definitely one of my faults, is expecting that other people will be as kind or caring or compassionate as I am. It’s burned me more times than I can think, so it’s something I keep in mind.

Anyways, I’ll post pictures tomorrow when I get home. I’m way too hot to keep this fire to myself. Lol
