During our last OOTR meeting, we discussed what it means to be "normal" in the eyes of our society. We looked at a comic strip we found online which depicted a gay couple's morning routine. Then the group talked about how that comic would be seen as "normal" by some people if only the couple were male/female instead of male/male.
We shared our thoughts on what it means to be accepted as "normal" by society and whether or not that was even important to us. This proved to be an interesting topic, as it lead to further discussion about politics, religion, prejudice, and more. One thing seemed to be a common tread. We all (those in attendance) had felt unaccepted at one point or another due to our sexual orientation. What a sad commentary on our society's narrow mindedness.
On a much lighter note- We will be having our first "Fun Day" activity soon! Contact us for details.
And until we write again,
Stay strong! Stay proud! Stay you!

Our Mission
The reason we meet as a group is so that we can hang out, be ourselves and meet other people in the GLBT community.
At our meetings we can feel comfortable enough to let our guards down without having to worry about being judged or discriminated against.
