The say and everyone's say
I do love forums and messageboards. I haven't gotten into them for the longest but just recently I've been going back to one that I haven't been a part of for so long. If you're up for a good one and it's for the lesbian interest, I suggest to you: www.shoe.org
There's a lot of interesting topics and reads and fun people to meet. I do really enjoy the gay culture, there's so much to learn and so much identity along with the daily struggles that everyday life and our society throws at us.
I started my first messageboard when I was in high school. One of the first places I visited as soon as I was introduced into the whole internet and the world wide web. My best friend told me to come and be part of a gaming community. Along with all the gaming topics we also talked about life, argued and debated over issues and society. I read a lot and learned a lot from them. The board has since calmed down and almost everyone has left, it's kind of sad.
But presently being part of Shoe International. What else can I say? *smiles* It's a pleasure to read thoughts and comments from other lesbians around the world. To read what their opinions on life is and to figure that hey, I'm not so different after all. It helps me learn about myself and lets me voice my opinions on things that I might not have even thought about.
I have learned that although there may be some that are made up of the same cells and tissues that makes us human, the very essence of our brains truly take us apart from one another. No two persons are alike in respect to lifestyle, thoughts, personality, history--all of which makes us who we are. It's funny that because of that, we are so different from one another. Our maturity for one thing sets us apart from a lot of others in our age group while at the same time brings others who are very different int our arena also. Am I making sense to you? It makes perfect sense in my head. lol
I must say the Gay culture has done itself quite well.
On a side note of my mentioning how well the gay community has brought for itself. I'm very lucky to be able to say that Chicago has a lot of opportunities to get involved for the gay community. Although there needs to be more for the girls. Gay isn't just all about boystown, ya know. I'm starting to wonder where have all the lesbians gone?
yes, back to the gay subject and chicago. If we were to look, it's a city buzzing with activity for the gay minds. There's a lot of non-profit to volunteer with, community awareness as well as the health awareness. It really brings a warm feeling in my heart to know that Chicago has an area where it's very gay friendly, when i see the rainbow flags hanging on the windows. There's public media, like gay magazines to read and to see what's happening around town. There's sooooo much! It's a great place to be a part of. One of the many reasons I love being a Chicagoan.
