Today, I got a long distance call from a member here that I really have only met one time (prior Bash a couple of years ago) asking if I was OK due to the gas rupture and explosions/fire here in the Bay Area of California- San Francisco, San Bruno areas.. This was so nice of her! Warmed my heart (not that way - she is married to a great butch and very happy). Hell, she and her partner have boxed my ears a couple of times when I have made dumb or insensitive posts! We all do at times.
This is exactly the B-F community I know and love- and the best thing is that we don't need to live close to one another, can have disputes (with talking things through), can deal with them and view one another with the respect and honor we all deserve!
I honestly have met phenomenal people from this community from every aspect of every identity, political stance, and beyond that have made my life more positive and a more conscious person of what I may not know. Adds to my feelings that there is more good than bad in people and some of the best are right here! This makes me want to keep putting the darkness of what can get between us aside and stick with the light that is very much a part of the Planet and our entire community.
She even was worried about my pooch! So, here is a pic I found while going through a bunch of stuff today of him at 6 months (just think it's cute, he is 5 now). He's fine and says thanks for being concerned about me, too! He's glad he has a butch type parent that belongs to this website!
