yikes.
I agree with ring.
Move.
You want to live your life the way you see fit? Then live it.
THIS is not living it.
I don't have a terrible lot of good things to say about Western culture. It involves a lot of unfortunate tendencies such as hypocrisy, inanity, silliness and this obsessive preoccupation with individuality that very often becomes the rationality for greed and self-absorption, BUT that said, those same tendencies have enabled many folk to define their own lifestyles and activities freely, particularly among those who are like-minded. Making universal acceptance of 'who they are' not only unnecessary in many cases, but sometimes even undesirable.
It seems as though the axe you have to grind is far more formidable than the actual issue at hand.
