Random LGBTQIA Quotes:

“ In truth, the term "gay community" is just a figure of speech, meaning not much more than "all the gay people in this area." There is no "gay community" per se. What there is is a large number of different and overlapping smaller gay communities each centered on a specific interest or activity, from square-dancing to playing bridge, from choral singing to political activity, from S/M to theater. ”

—Paul Varnell

About Me

I'm kinda new to this. I've edited a few articles in the past, but I thought it would be a good idea to actually make an account.

Due to years of persuasive writing forced down my throat, I still find it difficult to write without opinion. Please be patient with me, as I am learning to write informatively.

Unfortunately, I don't log on to Wikipedia nearly enough. I have a busy life, you know.

I grew up in the Christian church, so I know quite a bit about the history and the dogma.

I have years of life experience in Christianity, mental health, music, art, sewing, computers, and other similar areas.

I Contribute To ____ Because

If any of them don't make sense, think about this: when I find an interest in something, I read about it, I learn about it, and I share my new knowledge with others.

Music:

I am a music geek. I've been learning about music and practicing it since 1995. I played clarinet (in several forms) in an organized wind band for 9 years, and recreationally for 3 years. I have limited experience with piano, vocal music, mallet percussion, and the Irish whistle.

Psychology:

I have close personal experience with Bipolar Disorder. I also have a great interest in psychology, which led to taking courses in the subject.

Deaf Culture/Deaf History:

I have taken courses in Deaf History and Deaf Culture.

Schools:

Either I went to the school, am going to the school, or grew up in the area and know about the school.
