I belonged to another forum for over a year and the subject of my sexuality was never brought up because well.. I was there for prepping, not to discuss the fact that I'm a lesbian. However, I made a few connections with people that were in the same region as me and during a thread we were discussing our food prep procedures and I mentioned the way my wife does something. Well, the responses that I received when they realized I am gay, were scary to say the least. Let's just say, I am glad I didnt share any personal info because I would literally be in fear for my life at this point. People that weren't even part of our initial post joined in to threaten me and my family. Needless to say, I had to delete my account from that site, losing all connections made. So I guess I just want to see how people here react before I get personally invested in any of these threads or people that may be nearby.
That being said, I know that there will always be some that do not (and I fully do not expect everyone to) agree with or be okay with me being a homosexual. I only post this because in the last forum, it seemed like EVERYONE was violently against it and I just want to find a forum about prepping with members that are more focused on prepping and dont care about sexuality so much. If that is a thing that exists. So here I am...
I would like to add a few things about me personally, since this is the introduction section. I am hear to learn and share my tactics with others (because even when you know a lot, there is still more to learn). I have been on and off prepping since I was in my early 20's. I divorced my first wife in December of 2018 and she kept ALL of my stock (which was A LOT) and my supplies (even camping supplies, even though she hates camping). She did it because she's a terrible person. I kind of gave up on it for a little while after that and I just recently started getting back to it. I am not an extremist liberal. I believe in the constitution (especially the 2nd amendment), I would never vote for Sanders, I work (extremely hard) for everything that I have, and I don't have any gay agenda. To be completely honest, I dont even like most of the other gay people that I have met in my life, being gay seems to be all they want to talk about and immerse themselves in. I just want to be a person, that has real interests that I can share with other people. Other than this initial post, I'll probably never even discuss my sexuality with anyone unless they ask (aside from maybe mentioning how my wife does something, if its relevant to conversation).
