i'm in southern ontario with my extended relatives, going to be heading back to thunder bay on wednesday worried about LACK of QUEER! culture in a place where i only have family but i've contacted pride central at lakehead university to join their smalltown queertrans meetings. mais pourtant, i'm visiting my relatives who always ask, (with redneck ontario schtick) "ohhh, yeah, oh ok adam, i guess yer still a swingin' bachelor, there eh, heh heh?" expecting me to say, "well actually, there's this girl..." and every time i say, "yeah, yeah swinging bachelor, whatever" (followed by several large sips of coors light, the redneckiest beer in ontario) and this time, i wore my t-shirt that says, (with a picture of a 1950s woman-in-apron holding a pistol): "Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you!" and guess what?............... NO ONE GETS IT! i love it. i'm screaming gay but their ears and eyes are full of fast eddy's crazyfrys or something i dunno. but i'm so happy and it's weird. cuz the last time i passed through this place was in july when i thought that i was going to die and i remember sitting in a harvey's (canuck equivalent of BK) thinking that i would trade my stupid dying life just for a moment to live in the suburbs to drive an suv, to have a couple whining daughters with those stupid clowns that sit on swings and hang from the ceiling and now i'm back here thanking the universe that i never actually got that far!
