PLEASE COMMENT YOUR OPINION!

Sam tackles recent news of David Phillips coming out to expose that he had gay sex with Senator Larry Craig. Phillips, a self-proclaimed gay "bear" reveals details that only add to the hypocrisy of Craig.

Larry Craig voted against the legalization of gay marriage, against adding sexual orientation as the definition of a hate crime, but he was fine with the right to fire someone because they are gay. Just a few of the scars he contributed toward United States freedom.

Love the sinner, hate the sin, they always say!

Notes from Underground 1.5 – In the Closet

2008-02-26T15:50:28Z

"It's about time you moved out. You can't stay with the ‘rents forever."

I stared silently at my friend across the table; she was unaware of my undocumented status.

"What? You are 22 and still live with your mother! And you commute 2 hours to get to school and are up till early morning working. That's crazy! No wonder you don't have a social life."

I could make some excuses without giving myself away. "Well, my mom isn't very healthy and needs my help with her business. I cannot just pack up and leave."

"Oh c'mon, you will have your MA in a matter of months and can get a well-paying job to support her if she needs. That's another problem, you don't even work. When are you going to learn to take care of your own shit?!"

I squirmed uncomfortably in my seat. The conversation was not going as I had expected. I had confided in her about my frustration about the long commute hours, working till wee hours of the morning in the family business and not having any time for a social life, and here she was making me out into some sort of irresponsible, dependent slacker.

"I don't have time for a job right now, and furthermore, I don't need one. The family business pays enough," I replied.

She was unrelenting. "Listen, the only way to resolve your problems is to get a job, move out. I will help you look for a place and even move. But you have to take the first step, grow up and become independent."

I nodded. It was best to drop the subject. I was in the closet at home about being gay and in the closet outside the home about being undocumented, and it was suffocating me to the point where I could not speak to either parties involved.

In conversations with other Dreamers, I have noticed similar feelings of loneliness, the desire for space and independence, fear of coming out to classmates and colleagues even while appearing like an irresponsible dependent who needs to grow up. I have heard the guys talking about feeling emasculated and foolish when their girlfriends drive them around. I personally refuse to forge any intimate relationships due to my undocumented status: why make an already troublesome situation (the limited legal recognition of a same-sex relationship) even more complicated by adding the ‘illegal' bi-national factor?

We do not owe anyone explanations for our life choices, but how do we begin to fit-in when our ability to move ahead in life is so drastically limited? For now, I stay in the closet and come out online to converse with fellow Dreamers to whom I do not have to explain any life choices. In the meantime, I continue to dream of the day that we can fully become our true beings and come out of the closet, living life the way we want to.
