Reblogging because it’s true for me…  except for the foreign music thing.  I like foreign music.

this

makes me

so sad

I am not a freak goddammit.

Fuck off.

You’re right.  You’re not a freak, and I apologize if that’s what you take away from this.  Let me clarify.  I don’t hate any one.  I don’t.  For me, this is not a statement of bias.  This is who I am.  I am a white, successful, heterosexual male. My point in posting this is, as the notes on this image indicate, my demographic gets a lot of hate whenever we decide to actually declare we’re proud to be what we are.  I don’t think any of the characteristics in the list are ‘bad’ traits.  Variety is the spice of life!  But look at the notes on this image and then compare this to a “I’m gay and proud” or “I’m black and proud” message.  It seems the only people who are not allowed to be proud of who they are are white, successful, christian, heterosexuals.

Please, Tumblr, remember that we are people just like you.  Most of us aren’t the bad guys people seem to think we are.  I’m proud to be a white, successful, christian, heterosexual; not because that makes me better than others (it doesn’t), but because that’s who I am.  Just like you should be proud to be whatever you are.
