Being Gay is Both Magical and Fun!

EXPELLIARMUS!

Hello There! I am sorry to have to disabled your wand. (Oh, wait...no I am not.) If you have no idea what all this mean then you must be one of those Muggles. That's cool. I accept you as a Muggle. I'm not one of those dark wizards who thinks that magical folk are better then non-magic folk.

I would like to share some tips of the trade with you. These are based on things I have heard from the beginning of my time on planet Earth and the time I spent at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I thought that I would take some extremely serious and hard times I had this year and convert them into positive and uplifting humor with a message for those that I care deeply about.

These tips are for your entertainment and enlightenment...they are said in a way that I hope can help anyone of knows someone who is gay...including possibly yourself. Homosexuality is not some sick sin or disease...it is what it is. If a person is sexually attracted to a member of the same sex then they really feel that pull and sometimes it can be hard to deal with discovering that and coming out positively when you have people or churches that you love tell that you are evil or sinning. What you should realize is that Aslan himself looks upon the heart...not the feelings you have.

I like to encourage myself to get to the point of acceptance and courage. (I am Peter, the Knight after all. Royal Protector and King of Narnia!) Sometimes you just have to stand up for what you believe in despite what the majority of the world might think. It's called doing the right thing and it is called love.

I do not accept my words as full and all encompassing truth, but I accept them to be practical in aiding those who are suffering with accepting themselves no what what their sexuality. The truth is right now I have decided to fully accept and embrace my sexuality and now I shall explain why I am refusing to "suffer through it".

I would just like to share with you some of the happiness I feel when I look at a beautiful man. You see, all my real friends know I'm boy crazy. I like a lot of different boys and I am very attracted to men that are talented and can sing, act, and be themselves. That is really sexy and I feel sexy every time I think about it because that is what every young man wants to feel.

They want to feel sexy and manly.

I feel like a man because I am a man and I like touching, feeling, and looking at men. You can think I am sick and creepy Death Eater all day. I no longer care because I accept that I am gay.

You know what...Taylor Lautner is one of my favorite "fantasy men" and by that I mean someone I can dream about without having to worry about everyone else around me. He has a great body and I appreciate the hard work he puts in. It's so sexy and I can't help but watch all the films he is in because I like his...uh...magical properties.

Let me be honest: Taylor Launter is hot and I have the pictures to back it up. He kicks butt in his new movie Abduction and that is what I like about men. Men kick butt. That's so cool.

No matter who you are or what you do if you love someone then you love them. No matter how hard I try I "keep on fallin' in and out of love" just like Alicia Keys every day. I'm a musician, writer, and dreamer and might I just say that I am in heaven every time I think of the love I have for certain wizards in my life.

But there is this difference you see. When I look at a witch I love them but wish not to do That-That-Must-Not-Be-Named. I honor witches and the many important and respectable roles they have but I have absolutely no desire to do That-That-Must-Not-Be-Named with them.

One time I kissed three witches in a row. I was kind of sad and disappointed I did not enjoy it more. At the time I thought it was really gross and not because I didn't like these people...it was just weird and for some weird reason I was only somewhat "satisfied". That special somewhat satisfying kiss happened in Professor Slughorn's office some years ago. We were eating and drinking some very magical potions. I kissed 3 different witches...all of who I loved dearly.

Girl #1 - Hermione...strike.

Girl #2 - Ginny....strike.

Girl #3 - Cho Chang....uh....maybe I could get used to this.

I kissed Cho for a long time...like 5-10 seconds. I try to remember that straight moment in time because I found out this year that witch I kissed is...uh...let's just say it's a small world after all and love is love people.

It doesn't matter if your gay, straight, or bi...a Muggle, Witch, or Wizard...your on the right track cause you were born that way! I believe that men are men. Men are not always straight with you. What I mean by this is that as a wizard who knows lots of different men of all shapes and sizes we all have sexy thoughts. I have sexy thoughts all the time and it's okay to have sexy thoughts.

But this year Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary experienced a danger it had not faced in a long time. Harry Potter and his friends made the choice to break some school rules this year and ending up figuring out how to open the Chamber of Secrets. It had to be done in order to save the school. In the Chamber of Secrets, I kissed someone very special and liked it. Harry Potter found the Sword of Gryffindor and it was used to kill many Horcruxes.

At this time...year of 2011... some Muggles and Wizards are not allowed to marry who they wish to marry. Sadly, I might not ever get the chance to marry Albus Dumbledore. We will die old and single because some witches and wizards think that pure blood status is more important then the human heart. Things often get a little crazy at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To call someone a mudblood is evil...just like Lord Voldemort.

Life would be more simple if all witches, wizards, and Muggles were given the right to marry no matter their blood status. To get married to another person without having to feel slightly awkward, embarrassed, and and even humiliated - marching in parades and street corners with strange Muggle clothing...hoping to get the attention they may actually deserve.

Albus Dumbledore and many other people at Hogwarts are gay. This is not something to take offence over. It is something to accept and take as you wish.

People are suffering and begging for the freedom to marry and to love. The freedom and choice to married is based on the principles which have been set forth since the beginning of the King's Cross Station and will always be there.

Recently, I picked up the Harry Potter books to read them. And guess what? I still love them very much and look forward to my time here on Earth and at Hogwarts.

"For Where Your Treasure Is, There Will Be Your Heart Also."

I just would like to say that I love you and please don't assume things about people and make connections based on your opinions, beliefs, etc. For I know what I like and I am able to make choices of learning. Please do not say or hint that someone gay such as myself has been "influenced" by The White Witch, Death Eaters, or bad friends. (Often things get misty when trying to find your way.) I have exceptionally great friends and I usually am a very good judge of character and human heart.

Also, please be very careful in labeling someone as having been molested, raped, raised incorrectly, deceived, or ill. Thank you.

Please call people by their real names. (For example, let's not throw around the word faggot all the time.) Please identify them as a person just like you and I. We are all different and just because you do not understand something does not mean it is wrong. Gayness does not define me...I define gayness.

I am just a man who is happy with who he is. I take responsibility for my poor choices and I am thankful to have made exceptionally good choices recently. Why don't we all just get along and quit assuming that we know everything. I know I sure don't.

I need time.

Love.

Space.

I need me.

Say "hello" to the man that I am. I am a Child of God who is not defined by my sexual feelings which are an important part of who I am.

November 1, 2011 - Happy No-Shave November! Today, I celebrate.
