hello Folks,

Typically, I like to keep my business my own, who doesn't have issues & stuff that happens. Sometimes something will happen & keeping it to yourself is the worst thing you could do. This is one of those times.

I posted a photograph of local flavor here in LA. A man named wayne eaton, decided to take a right wing stance. I can't post the photo or direct you to the conversation because fb removed it from my profile. Eaton decided to use this as opportunity to share his anti-gay views, which started with,  "This is exactly WHY gay people will NEVER gain the respect they think they deserve. Simple really."

To this comment I calmly countered, that I felt that you should not judge a group of people based on the actions of one. I don't wander thru trailer parks looking at all straight people there with numerous children (none knowing who the father is) soaking up welfare, and say " This is why straight people don't deserve any rights or respect. Should the actions of a few take away from the actions of all the hardworking, home owning straight people? I don't believe so, and I think your assuming an awful lot, I don't know the gentlemen in question is factually gay. I never asked and typically gay men dress quite well & not shabby. I think it's narrow-minded and such shortsidedness, in my opinion,  that's what is killing our country.

Eaton replied,"Um...Lynn the proper grammatical spellling would be short sighted. And your argument is a non sequitur. The way gay men dress? Trailer park people? And no...what IS killing this country is people that refuse to see gay life for what it really is. And that is a made up life style based on sexual devient acts. That deserves no rights special or otherwise.Did you people that commented bother to look at the picture?! The man's f*cking genitals are exposed! At Gay parades, you will see people with exposed genitals with piercings through them! Right out there in the streets, out in the public for all to see. I don't give a sh*t who you are or who you THINK you are...but that is plain and simply WRONG!
Wrong to be out in public like that, wrong on SO many levels and should a child see that, what....you think this is perfectly normal? We're at the point now showing absolute absurdity in expecting equal rights when gay people behave like this and expect us to respect them."

( At this point Wayne deleted himself off my friends list, and I was ok with that. One thing I thought was interesting, is that he had several comments on his page how he wants to make the world a better place. I was thinking when I originally saw this, that he had adopted a loving perspective-- not Hitler's perspective. Plus, we have 5 gay friends in common. )

To which, I responded that I disagreed. Though I respected his opinion I didn't feel that anger & name calling was appropriate. I mentioned I thought it was  interesting that he knew so much about gay pride parades, and since I have the full resolution photo, I can verify that his genitalia is not hanging out, but unfortunately you've starring at a fat roll. Obviously you've been starring at that area. I never made any claims to be anything more than an artist/photographer. I think it's interesting when people have no basis to their argument, they feel need to stir false drama & name call etc. I'm not sure why this happens, I think it's because your hoping that if you yell and scream loud enough, it makes up for your lack substance. I'm not angry with you, and I don't feel the need to result to cussing or name calling, I just simply disagree.

Now, that Wayne is gone, I thought  perhaps so is this scenario. That was silly on my part. This all happened on 9/8. I tried to log into my account on 9/9 and my login failed. It said my account was disabled. I was disabled becasue Mr Eaton reported me twofold: 1) posting pornographic material, and sending harrassing & unwanted messages. Eventually this is what I was told, that I have abused facebook features a number of times in the past by: making wall posts & adding friends. How dare I use a social networking site to network!!! I had been warned about that. Facebook removed the photo & comments. all awhile claiming they don't know why I was disabled.  I threatened to sue living shit out of them, they finally gave me my site back. Their actions royally pissed me off. I got spanked because of some right nut job decided to go on a hateful anti-gay rant. Even though, I was never mean to the man or said anything unprofessional I am the bad guy here. Facebook told me I so much as burp with out saying excuse me, they are going to take away my site & not give it back.

I Plan on keeping my fb acct for as long as possible, for all of you who would like to stay in touch with me should I like to get disabled again. Please subscribe to this blog.

Thank you!
