Treat other as you would want to be treated

 I like Ellen DeGeneres. I think she is a dingle berry. That is what we call ding-a-lings around here. I just loved her show she had in the 90’s. Then she came out of the closet about being gay. . Really, she did, I think in that episode she did walk out of a closet. I thought that was brilliant.

 I continued to watch because I like her humor. Unfortunately, she started making the show about being gay. Oh well, still like Ellen DeGeneres... It did not turn me off that she was a lesbian.  I stopped watching because she was not the same anymore. She was probable under a lot of stress trying to fight for her choices.

I am glad she is back on top (no pun intended) She belongs there. This is not because she a lesbian, but because she is a good person that is very funny.

I grow up Lutheran. I loved to go to church. I loved to listen to the weekly sermon’s the best. I sucked in all the information I could about the bible. In addition, my grandmother Stanfield was a Jehovah witness. I studied this for a while. I could not get myself wrapped around the fact that they claimed to be the only truth.  I do not really think any one entity is the only truth. This is my opinion.

When I was in the army, I meet a man on a bus trip from Minnesota to Seattle Washington. I got on the bus and two seats were available. One was next to a clean cut man and the other next to a longhaired unkempt kind of man. I choose to sit next to the clean cut man.  This clean cut man watched over me on this trip. He made sure I was always safe. We had many hours to talk about our lives and get to know each other. This man was gay. he was also a warlock. I do not know that much about witchcraft but whatever He introduced me to women that use to be a man. I had never experienced this world. When the trip was over, he gave me his card and said if I ever needed anything to give him a call. I never did. Not because he was gay more like I am just not good with keeping up with people. I did like him though.

I was stationed in Washington State and living in the barracks, I meet a woman that stayed in the room next to mine. We became best friends and did almost everything together.  One night I was working late and locked myself out of my room. I knocked on her door and asked if I could stay with her until morning. In the morning, I could get the spare key from the office to get into my room.  “Sure” she said and we slept in a twin bed together. A month later, she confessed to me that she was a lesbian.  “Huh” “Really” “Really” “Huh” I think I was insulted. Am I not attractive enough for you (my mind was wondering.)  “Why haven’t you made any moves on me?” I asked.

“Because I know that you are not that way.” She told me.

I was also shocked because she had been going out with a jerk that drove a corvette. Any Man that drives a corvette is a jerk. I thought that was why they had just broken up.  I know that is being judgmental.

Anyways, I think if you are a good person and treat other well it should not matter who you love, and you deserve be treated with respect.

If you are not a good person and do not treat others with respect.  You do not deserve respect from others. This is my bottom line.
