The Other Side Of Me

This Blog is a documentation, a day-to-day account of my coming out process. This is here so people can read, and see where i've made mistakes and where i've made progress, so that during their coming out they can attempt to avoid or emulate those things. It is also here, to show the struggle me and many others have faced, when coming to terms with our sexuality.

Gay Cruise Meets Protest in Bahamas


NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - Passengers on a gay cruise were greeted by more than 100 protesters as they stepped off their chartered ship Friday in the Bahamas.

The protesters, led by Christian pastors, gathered in a square in front of the cruise terminal and chanted, ``Gay Ways are Not God's Ways!''

Cruise organizers said former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell, who promoted the voyage, was aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line ship Norwegian Dawn. But she wasn't seen among those who disembarked.

Gregg Kominsky, a founder of cruise organizer R Family Vacations, said the passengers - 1,150 adults and 450 children - had come to have fun and that on previous trips he found most Bahamians friendly and welcoming. ``We are not really here to make a statement,'' he said.


As the first passengers stepped out, shouting protesters pressed to within a few feet of them. Police stepped in to move demonstrators back. There were no arrests.


The U.S. Embassy issued a statement Thursday saying the mostly American passengers deserved the right to visit in peace.


Some passers-by said they disagreed with protesters. ``I don't have a problem with gay people coming to the Bahamas,'' resident DeAndre Rahming said.


I belive that we should allow Rosie O'Donnell to carry a loaded RPG, and fuck up who ever gets in her way! GO! ROSIE! GO!
