Why Homosexuality Should Be Banned
The other day, I came across a blog, that I don’t think I had ever read before. The name of the blog is “Just a Jeep Guy.” I look at a lot of blogs, but mostly if I like what I see, I just add it to my Google Reader. The problem is, I have way too many blogs that I subscribe to the RSS feed. So on most of them, I check out the first few posts. When I came across “Just a Jeep Guy,” I became totally addicted. I saw this video posted and thought it was too good not to share with you guys. Some of you may have seen it before.
About Joe
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.

I'm glad you liked it. As I said in the post, I saw it on Just a Jeep Guy Blog and loved it and decided to post it here.

Joe: Time for a song – how about posting a gay anthem for our reluctant gay friends to gently nudge that closet door open. I don't have a blog to broadcast my suggestion so i'm doing the next best thing, which is asking you to post. It's a John Barrowman clip:www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxUC_UcKFJkThanks.

I will get right on that post. I'm pretty sure I will post it on Friday, so stay tuned.

Joe: Our first collaborative post. Here's my contribution, the lyrics that go with the song. Thanks again – i hope we get a wide audience. The newby gays and bis aren't into broadway like us gay professionals.ARTIST: Jerry HermanTITLE: I Am What I Am[La Cage Aux Folles]I am what I am, I am my own special creationSo come take a look, give me the hook or the ovationIt's my world that I want to have a little pride inMy world and it's not a place I have to hide inLife's not worth a damn 'til you can say, hey worldI am what I amI am what I am, I don't want praise I don't want pityI bang my own drum, some think it's noise I think it's prettyAnd so what if I love each feather and each spangleWhy not try to see things from a different angleYour life is a sham 'til you can shout out loudI am what I amI am what I am and what I am needs no excusesI deal my own deck sometimes the ace, sometimes the deucesThere's one life and there's no return and no depositOne life so it's time to open up your closetLife's not worth a damn 'til you can say, hey worldI am what I am
