I'm so happy and so moved, that I'm having a good cry. You see, when I was in my early 20's and it was really beginning to set in that my life wasn't ever going to be "normal", I never thought that I would live long enough to see such things happen. I never thought there would be people like yourself dulios, people who would reach out to us and make it possible to walk down the street with our heads held high. I never thought that there would be a whole group of "straight" people like the clipmark's regulars who would accept me into their group and treat me just like they treat each other.
These are happy tears I'm crying.
Thank you dulios, and thank you clippers. You have made my world larger and so much happier.

Ah, chick, your tears make me happy?!!! I'm happy for your joy and looking to the day that that a gay lady is elevated to lead her country is a non event

Most here on ClipMarks accept that all are equal. If you do, then racism, sexism, Islamophodia, sectarianism and all those other bad ism just disappear.

If I could have a wish on a return trip on this earth, then I wish to be a bi-sexual female with a leg in each c...

My dear ratcatcher2, Your kind words enhance my joy. Our clipmarks community is a special one and I am so proud to be a part of it. Sometime we must discuss your idea about coming back as a bi-sexual female. I have some thoughts that would be far better, and you don't even have to die first.

I have some thoughts that would be far better, and you don't even have to die first Intriguing. Would I have to have my important pieces removed?

Only as a last resort.

No, I'm just kidding. No one should ever have their important pieces removed.
