Hi there,
Just thought I'd introduce myself, I found the site a while ago from a google search and read the article on the site "What the bible says - and doens't say - about homosexuality" very interesting.
What can I say about me? I'm an art student, I live in a place called Stoke in England, I love music, play the guitar and piano, (and hoping to pick up another instrument soon - thinking violin, flute, tabla drums... maybe I'll learn them all eventually if I can find a site on how to do it) ummm, my favorite moments in life are those experiences that give you goosebumps and shivers becasue they effect you in some way - a part in a film, a song, a realisation.
I knew I was gay from a young age, which was a blessing and a curse in my opinion. It meant I kind of came to terms with it pretty quickly (although maybe that had nothing to do with the fact I knew early on) but also I started relationships quite early, but I won't go into that! For I am a rambler and a tangent maker of the direst category, hehe. ie. I'll go on and on and this is only a little intro to say "hi".
If you're interested, in my art I look at cross-cultral awkwardness and integration, the definition of the sacred, spirituality, and thinking of changing direction to sexuality although if I were to ever have my work exhibited I wouldn't want to be known as "that gay artist" because in my opinion, part of being seen as equal isn't going around shouting "I'm gay! deal with it!! Get over it!!" because it kind of classifies you as gay, if that makes sense? That facet of myself would be the most prominent focus, when infact, I don't feel like a lot of the gay people I've met at all, so people would make false assumptions on who I am...
Sheesh, well at least I got my little tangent in there! I can't help myself.
teehee,
Take care,
Chris
