FBI joins investigation into North Carolina power outage

[Jamastiene]

33. I'm a lesbian and I live one county over from Moore County.

They raped me a couple decades ago, then told me I should be raped until I learn to like it. They spread lies and hate despite the fact that they know nothing about the LGBT community. Nothing. They don't want to learn the truth or even hear the truth. They believe what they've been told, usually in the churches here, there aren't many friendly churches here for us. That's final with them. They imagine a lot of stuff that seems to scare them then outrage them, never once listening to the truth. Their minds are made up. New generations here come along and it's the same all over again.

One good thing, more people are deciding not to hate than before. Not many, but more than before. I'm hearing the rape comments less nowadays. I used to have to hear people scream it at me from across the parking lot at the grocery store after being accosted and preached at IN the grocery store. It was bad for about 10 years, then I copped an attitude. They now think I am a demon, but it got them off me for the most part.

If we can get the majority in most places to see the truth, the hate can't have quite as much power. Unfortunately, in places like this area of NC, that hate will never stop and never go away. Whereas other places might have a 60/40 Dem to Republican ratio, here it's closer to 80/20 and sometimes even more in the other direction. Hate will always win in places like this. That doesn't mean not to fight. It means fight harder. You have to in order to live.

Whoever did this achieved nothing except a few miserable days and a lot of pissed off people of all different backgrounds. I think most everyone is going to want them charged too. We keep fighting for our humanhood. They can go to prison.
