Well Hey thar!!!!
I'm Alie...
I teach Literature and Art History at the college level, this being my second life's dream.
It's been my dream to be a writer since I was a teenager, and although I'm older now and have had several different careers, it is still my #1 dream. I tend to believe love is color blind, and am in love with the idea of being in love. The dictionary defines Romance as; A romantic spirit, sentiment, emotion, or desire. It defines Love as; a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. But it also defines Love as; A sexual passion or desire. A person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.
Yet, in both of these descriptions I didn't see once where Color, Race, Creed, or Sexual Orientation came into play. Love is love, as the marvelously talented Boy George once said, and I believe he is completely and totally on point. This is one of the things I love so much about the Gay Community. They don’t see color when they think someone is hot. I guess if you have half of the world against you because of your sexual orientation, why the hell would they subscribe to being prejudice on top of it. I love my GLBT community!
Whether you're a Caucasian guy who has a thang for Sustahs, a Japanese guy who has love for Latinas, a Mexican guy who just can’t get enough of Arab women, or an African- American guy who just loves some Caucasian women (vanilla lol)?
Who Cares, as long as "you do you", and you feel comfortable in your own skin. True love sees no color-lines, is pure in its truest form, and is only tainted when narrow minded; haters infiltrate it and make it something else.
To me, a delicious looking man, is just that; and color, race or creed has nothing to do with it.
Yummy is yummy!
Sometimes identifying with the character is not all that matters, its the aspect of being taken outside of your comfort zone to experience someone else's cultural background; and their life as they see it.
