Cars and Sexual Identities

What would your choice be if you made six figures? Would you choose a car that is the most commonly driven car of all Colorado...a black Subaru Outback? Or would you be original? Some would consider the Outback to be the most appropriate for our weather. However, I believe a little research must take place before putting down one of your figures.

I'm not one to exploit myself. I'm not one that tries to look like others. Most wouldn't even guess my sexual preference. I drive a Subaru, a white Subaru Impreza to be exact, some would say that I'm a hypocrite, however even though it's a Subaru I believe it's not the most commonly driven color and year of all existing Subarus.

My Subaru was purchased from a used car lot and it was the only one standing. I purchased my car based on how well it handled. I traded in my Honda Civic. Drove away a proud Subi owner.

A very wise man that goes by, PPMCC, said, "we're trying too hard to be like 'them'." 'Them' being the rest of the world. After pondering this thought for a while, I saw his point. Beginning our battle with equal rights and opportunities is a start. People are afraid, afraid that we might actually be legit.

This may be the case for those Black Subaru Outback owners. They just want to fit in, not stand out among the crowds of I-25 and downtown Denver. They have as many rights as all other black Subaru Outback owners.

I say, "Be yourself" and 'they'll' accept you for you-except you.
