We live in a great neighborhood where everyone accepts us. Our families are wonderful and nothing but loving and supporting. Amber & I are trying to have a baby and all of our friends/families have been nothing but supportive and encouraging threw this long ... stressful process. We are truly blessed to have great families and friends.

However we have had our share of mistreatment and discrimination. One particular episode happened at a fast food restaurant. We were talking, my partner and I, and the owner/manager came around the counter and proceeded to scream and swear at us. She didn't want us "touching" because there were children present. She even added "if you were straight I would say the same thing!" She literally kicked us out of her restaurant! She said, and I quote "This is my restaurant and I can do what I want." After that particular incident I felt like she kicked me back in the closet. I had my tail between my legs for a long time because I just felt like at any moment someone was just going to start screaming at us for being gay. I was letting her win because thats what she wanted. We deserve to be happy and treated like everyone else. Needless to say I am happy being open again with my partner and we are anxiously waiting to conceive! I try tro focus on the positive and not let the negativity affect us.
