00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:09.679
June is Pride Month LGBTQI A plus
Pride month. I know that we're living

2
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:20.160
in a world right now that many
are like not liking that. I know

3
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:27.079
we live in a world where they
feel that being gay or lesbian or any

4
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:34.359
part of that stuff is eighteen plus
and that it should not be discussed a

5
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.600
age before eighteen. I know there's
a whole consgency of that, but I

6
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.840
might hear for all those discussions.
I just wanted to acknowledge those are things

7
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:54.200
that are going on right My thing
is because I come from a time period,

8
00:00:54.200 --> 00:01:00.799
because I'm fifty to fifty plus,
I just remembered the repression and and

9
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.120
that just not talking about it of
any of those alphabets back in the day

10
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.040
in the seventies was the gay liberation
a long with the you know, women's

11
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.920
lib and all that alhmed in the
seventies, but it was still a sub

12
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.359
set. I remember when you wanted
to be gay, it was meant to

13
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.000
be means that you were different.
You weren't trying to be like anybody else.

14
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.920
You were doing your own thing.
You want you wanted to have,

15
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.680
you want to have equal rights,
but just like you were not worried about

16
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.480
children and marriage, and it was
just like being gay as being doing you

17
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.599
didn't want to be the hetero norms. But there there were gay ghettos kind

18
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.159
of popping up everywhere, like like
Castro Street in San Francisco, Christmas Street

19
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.280
in New York. I was just
like, we just don't live our lives,

20
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.519
just to just do your things,
not be bothered, blah blah blah.

21
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.040
Then the eighties came and ate it
and a whole general ration just got

22
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.520
wiped out, mostly boomers. Selfis
gen X, but mostly boomers that just

23
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:19.560
got white the f out. And
that was that right, And then the

24
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.680
nineties was kind of a resurgence.
There was lesbian chic RuPaul came out,

25
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.560
It was coming out at the beginning. Shows were including gay characters, Will

26
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.240
and Grace, you know, Llen. It was all all this stuff started

27
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.840
happening. So I've seen I just
as a fifty plus person, I just

28
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:45.960
seem the evolution of from not talking
about it, to talking about it in

29
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:54.840
certain bubbles, to death to now
let's go mainstream and to where we are

30
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.120
now. We have seen it all. I was fifty plus people, hey,

31
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:06.520
by fifty plus, we have seen
it all. The evolution, and

32
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:20.000
I get I get nervous that were
going backwards because of some people and I

33
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:27.120
and I always get nervous because the
emphasis is always on sex because he said

34
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.759
it's sexuality, it's sex. And
I'm type of person who's like, yes,

35
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:40.360
there's age appropriateness for everything. But
to say someone but to not talk

36
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:49.639
about gayness until after they're adults,
This makes sense to me. You can

37
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:58.639
talk about love without having to use
sex in it. There's if I mean

38
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.159
they're a gay kid, I believe
you're born with it. So so if

39
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.280
I lose some viewers listeners, I
get it. But that's I just believe

40
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.800
that. But I feel like there, but you're right, there are agent

41
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.600
but I also do there are age
appropriate things. I totally agree, and

42
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.600
conversations just like they're age appropriate chores
or age appropriate even if you're straight.

43
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.519
There to me, there are age
appropriate things and a straight world A lot

44
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.079
of times you know, we got
we got you know, parents are sex

45
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.959
for the kids and all those of
some stuff going on. I mean,

46
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.879
and no one Betts and I but
I'm like, yes, I had a

47
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.480
sexualized kids. When you're gonna be
a heartbreaker where you get older and you're

48
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.879
a little womanized and all and making
it cute. See it's like, well

49
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.120
that's detrimental too. And I know
back in the day we didn't think much

50
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:54.279
about it and just it was life
and whatever. But I think I agree

51
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:59.959
when it comes to sex and sexual
acts there's an age appropriatus that should happen

52
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.439
along the way. But in terms
of just saying people are different, and

53
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.240
everyone that people are, people have
different lifestyles, are just different. And

54
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.800
these two people, these people love
each other, the two women and two

55
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.079
men, or these two love each
other ones there's an older man a younger

56
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.120
woman, like or interracialness. These
two love each other. She's Pakistani and

57
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.879
he's Indi, he's Chinese or something
like. It's all should it all to

58
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.000
me? Should all be in the
same swath of like you always say,

59
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.199
love is love? Like ate what
is like they love each other and and

60
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.360
race is not a part of it, or this is not a part of

61
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.040
it, or it's not a part
of It's just it's just they love each

62
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.079
Other's all you do. Know at
certain ages, my grandchildren have grown up

63
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.800
with friends had same sex parents,
and my grandchildren aren't warped or anything for

64
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:55.319
it. So Peyton has two moms. Okay, I got it. And

65
00:05:55.480 --> 00:06:00.959
so also has two dads. Got
it. It was no big deal to

66
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.839
them, Like that's that's her parents. Got it. My parents happen to

67
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:10.120
be you know, man and woman. Okay, got it. And I

68
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:23.319
think I think there's a cloak of
shame and wanting to eradicate anything that's not

69
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:30.279
the straight, hetero Christian norm.
And I always say this, even if

70
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.040
you're straight, you know, I
don't folks who are atheists and agnostic.

71
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.879
And some go to church, some
don't go to church. I mean,

72
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:45.079
there's some want kids, some don't
want kids. There's a there's individuality.

73
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:47.920
That's what we I I want to
have individuality. That's the number one thing

74
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.519
you have. I mean, And
again, being a jet ex making fifty

75
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:58.720
plus, many of us are older. We released one Live for our Golden

76
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.319
Years, drama free. For the
most part, we just want to live

77
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.800
our lives like it's golden and go
out there and just do our thing.

78
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.639
And this it's our time to go. Look, really make enough money to

79
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.959
pay the bills, go on some
trips, you know, they see the

80
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.600
grandkids. Whatever. That's all we're
trying to do over here. So I

81
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.079
just for pride, but happy pride. It's it's a shame we still have

82
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.959
to have it there. In my
opinion, there is no gay community that's

83
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:33.680
together and there isn't. So my
hope is at some point that will possibly

84
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:40.480
happen. A community will happen again
with leaders who are inclusive and diverse and

85
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.800
really care about the letters that are
in this thing we have together, plus

86
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:57.720
being a conduit to the non letter
folks out there, and we all just

87
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:03.120
live together. Yes, Utopians,
just id you want it m hm?

88
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:13.480
But I but your happy pride and
happy June m hm.
