I've often been asked why I'm so accepting when it comes to people, lately this has been the case with people on twitter. Without fail each day somebody messages me regarding on of my followers.
Do you know you have gay decorators following you?
Why are you friends with a porn star?
OMG do you know your following a tranny?
The list goes on and on and if I don't get a do you know question, I get a why are you question.

The thing is I usually have some retort to these questions but instead I'm just going to give you the cold hard facts. I was an ostracized, bullied social reject through the large majority of grade school. I didn't get invited to parties or out to movies. I was a reject because I was a little weirder than the rest of the bunch and I spent most of my lunches eating by myself. I had my bike thrown into a valley during 10th grade and my brake line and tires cut in 11th.  I remember being in 11th grade on the acrosport team and training back layouts off heights. I was in the spotting belt, the coach was afraid I'd over rotate because of my fast rotation.  The coach had broken off to use the bathroom and I was sat 5ft up on a stap of tri-fold mats two of the guys on the team grabbed the ropes and yanked me backwards off the mats so I'd landed on my back and had the carabiners jamming into my back and breaking the skin.  Knocked the wind right out of me. Before I could regain my breath two other guys pushed the stack of tri-fold mats down on top of me. While the rest of the team watched and laughed.

Needless to say I know what it's like to be disregarded and bullied based on the preconceptions of people who honestly don't know a flipping thing about you.  They just stop at your very first ism that doesn't fit for them. That hurt growing up. Why would I put somebody through something I hated by being bigoted or stupid over somebody else's isms. Thats why I'm so accepting because I've looked into your heart and thats what matters
