This is Halloween This is Halloween

Posted By on October 11, 2020

Since it is October, I have pulled out my Nightmare Before Christmas coffee mugs to drink coffee from. 

Speaking of Nightmare before Christmas, our friend James Monroe Iglehart is production a benefit concert on Halloween night of Nightmare before Christmas. I am so looking forward to this because James is Oogie.

I have been plotting what we are doing for decorations this year. I have two ideas that I think I am going to mash up. I do plan on making some of new decorations for this year.

Caroline and I have some errands to run today which we should do earlier in the day since we have what is left of Delta passing over the Island later this afternoon/evening. 

We want to get the lights out today to begin the transformation of our yard. 

I need to find a few things we need to start since I moved everything around this summer.

Caroline has Monday off since it is Columbus day.

Today is National Coming Out day which is an annual LGBT awareness day observed on October 11, to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to “coming out of the closet”.

On the plus side, it is getting easier to tell people who you really are. The stigma of not being straight is practically gone in many places. And that should not matter at all. What you are and what you identify as should be accepted without question. Never feel guilty for who you are. Never let others make you feel guilty. You are you and you are beautiful. 

There are some people who deal with family that insist they are not what they have declared themselves to be. Trans folks deal with this a lot when their family does not care to call them by their name but by the name that they no longer use or dead name as they call it.

Let people be themselves and feel comfortable in their skins. It doesn’t hurt anyone to respect others’ identities. 

I know who I am. I want others to be able to have the same feeling.

I am grateful that I am accepted as who I am.
