Chick-fil-a

Okay right now there is a lot of hype in the gayverse about Chick-fil-a. In case you hadn't heard about it (where have you been), but they have strict religious views, not necessarily strictly Christian, but religious all the same. As part of that they are not open on Sundays, they cater to Christian radio by sponsoring concerts and events, most of the time for free or very little costs. Overall they have a strong mission statement and a strong way of thinking. What they do not like, nor believe in is a gay relationships, or gay marriage. Okay so lets think about it. There is a hugely successful company that was founded, created and operated with a strong believe system. That is amazing and great that a company can stick by its mission and become successful under its own policies, not by the policies that a society calls "politically correct". In case you didn't know, there is a gay boycott on Chick-fil-a, but really is that going to change the way they operate their business? Are they going to try and make themselves politically correct enough to cater to all types of people, even though they have been thriving for years on the same backbone believes? No they are not. They are not going around saying that they hate gays, and they refuse to serve us, what they are saying is they don't believe in our life style, and don't choose to accept it within teir organization. Thats great Chick-fil-a, keep doing what your doing, keep strong, and keep the company running the same way it has been proven to be successful even without your VP of public relations. To all my gay friends out there. If you choose to boycott a company, you have every right. Sometimes it is for good, sometimes it is not so good, but the reality of it all is that not everyone in this world is going to have the same believes and outlook. There are always going to be groups and organizations that hate gays, blacks, whites, Muslim or any other type of group. The solution is simple.... If you don't like the believes of a company or an individual, you have the right to not do business with them. If you don't like Chick-fil-a because they don't like gays, then don't eat there. There are plenty of other places down the street where a gay guy can get a chicken fix. Kris

A week of Rainbows.

So, as work goes everyone don't worry about me. I will deal with the stress and move on. But thank you all for your comments. I have had some crazy experiences in the last few weeks that have made things all around pretty good for me. We had this new guy start a couple of weeks ago. I was the supervisor on the job, and I decided to wear my pride bracelet that day. When we got to the job site and got a couple of divers in the water and had a chance to slow down for a minute, he started asking me about my bracelet. He thought it was pretty amazing that I can be out and so open about it at work. I went on to explain to him how hard it was for me to start coming out of the closet, but once I was out, it is so much better. The problem with him is, that he keeps going on and on and on and on about, do you have a boyfriend, why not, making kind of awkward gay jokes. I think he means well, but really, those jokes have to go. I can't think of a good example at the moment, but it just doesn't sound right coming from anyone, gay or straight. Also this week students are starting to come back on to campus for the next semester. Just down the street from my house is campus, and there is a 2 mile loop that goes around part of campus and down main street. Well this time of year, and usually throughout the semester there are a lot of runners on that two mile loop. This is where I love being me, LOL. I don't know if anyone else has ever thought about it, but being a man has its privileges in this country. We can go around in public with nothing but a pair of shorts on and no one cares, especially me. I love to watch topless men run along this two mile strip. Bodies glissioning from sweat. I know most of you ladies out there, and some of you guys love to watch a beautiful male body run by. So I was at the bowling ally (on Main Street), getting out of my car to get ready to bowl, when this hot guy was running by. I couldn't help but look, and he caught me looking, but it wasn't an awkward look, he was looking at me the same way I was looking at him. Want to keep looking even though its rude kind of way. That made me feel pretty good about myself, so I smiled as I walked into the bowling ally. Today, I decided to go to a little place called Gate 28. It is a cute little store, mostly dealing in womens clothing and accessories. Don't worry, I did not go int here to find something for the next drag show. I went in there to buy a birthday gift for a very good friend of mine. I was looking around, trying to make a decision on which bag to get her. I had it ironed down to three. I made my final decision and let the sales lady know that I wanted that one. She said that that was a good choice. While I was trying to make that decision the sales associate was talking with another lady. She was explaining to the sales associate that she wanted this gay guy to do her make up and hair. She kept going on and on, about how this gay guy did this, and this gay guy does that. When I went to the sales associate to tell her I have made my decision, the lady said, awwww, it looks like it will match your rainbow bracelet well. I laughed and pulled the purse up on my shoulder and said.... "ya it goes with it pretty good." Everyone laughed as we went to the counter to check out. I walked out of the store with a smile on my face, and decided that if my friend or anyone else ever wanted someone to accompany them to Gate 28, I will be in. I really had a great experience. Hope to talk to you all soon, You can leave a comment on facebook, or google plus. my g+ name is narkedfrog77@gmail.com how original right... Kris
