I titled my blog "Running from the Rainbow" because it was one of my personal goals to avoid becoming a stereotypical gay guy at the time I created it. I've realized that the gay stereotype is constantly changing; and I'll always be different without any effort on my part. I'm just going to be whoever I happen to be.

Place-shifting

I have a conflict of interest involving my facebook page. It's there to represent me and keep my friends updated about my life. At the same time, my friends aren't the only ones using facebook these days and now my relatives are sending my friend requests and communicating with me on there. The problem is that I'm not out to my extended family and I can think of a few individuals in it that I would like to keep unaware of my sexual orientation. In order to keep things peaceful and civil and relatively drama-free I've had to start deleting posts from my page left by my friends that make any references to my being gay. I feel bad about it, and about loosing record of their communication with me, so I've decided to start re-posting things I delete from facebook here on my blog. Hopefully no one in my family is nosey enough to find this page and bother reading it.
