I havent found pflag much use at all,we have one hear and u bet it dosnt do a darn thing but have coffee and donut meetings every month.When i finaly came out years ago I started going to meetings and met some really rude self absorbed folks who looked at me like I was from outer sapce..u dont look like us so u cant be part of our world..so after a while I quit going..over the years nothing had changed cause anyone who isnt andro is in a world of hurt if u thinkl u will get support form pflag.

Now for the family things..

mom tryed to put me in an instatution cause I was gay.My grand parrents thank god stoped her.
Most of my cousins are ok with my gayness some not..I could give a darn if they arent.Most of my aunts and uncles forbid me to come to there homes,truth was I didnt really care.
My kids are fine with a butch mom and always have been.
Being gay has cost me a lot of jobs,no way can I hide who I am and live with myself.
Most straight ppl I know are ok with me being gay as long as I dont talk about it much.
Even tho this is 2010 and u would think it would be easyer to be openly gay in the real world,we all know it isnt always so.I got taken off my pool league team a couple months ago cause some of the members werent comfy with a queer on the team.Sofar I havent been back on any team and I reallt think my butchness is why.
