Redneck Romance

There are times in life when I can’t help capturing the moment for proof of my heritage.

From our front porch looking in, we look like your average middle class family with 2 kids and a dog…living the American dream in a state filled with honest, hardworking people stereotyped with being rednecks.

Yes people, we wear shoes…even nice shoes like Via Spiga and Johnston and Murphy’s.

However, there are times when we can really get our freak on and let our rednecks out of hiding. Evolution has not won yet!

How does enjoying a nice Cabernet Sauvignon, steak, cheese and a romantic evening become this?

 The man is swigging my nice bottle of Cab…gifted to me for Christmas from my girlfriend in NYC… and eating rare, cold leftover steak and a slab of Walmart cheddar cheese.

Notice the neck? See how it’s turning red???

Gawd, he’s SEXY!!!! Makes me want to give him a hickey chain around his neck.

    I love it (your post). Since, I am new at this, my husband hides when I have the camera out.

    Oh, well, at the wedding of said wine-gifter’s little brother, Secret Agent Man and his brother were out in the parking lot passing around what my father said, quizzically, was “a bottle of whiskey with a weird-looking bird on it”. This is both an attest to our collective heritage (the groom was responsible for the keg in the Ebenezer cemetery when my sister got married, btw, CLASS-Y!) and my father’s level of inebriation, as he was a zoologist before he went to med school. I later surmised that it was a bottle of Fighting Cock. Again, we do it with *CLASS* back home!

    That’s funny. I’ve never seen Via Spiga shoes at Payless.

    I break redneck nearly everytime I’m not in public… and sometimes even in public.

    I googled “gay male redneck” killing time for fun now that I am in MS (home state), living in DC most years since graduating Ole Miss. Well, 12…been back 8 not by choice, but I love my hometown. The Episcopal Church of MS is having its' 5th (maybe 6th) LGBT Ministries Retreat. It is in August, 3 days and has GROWN. Tons come from most Southern states and some yankees too. Led by a out of state priest. We are in church budget for work through the year. Even have a clergy training retreat. The first site I landed on was a religious right site and you could not post a comment anywhere. I really wanted to write them “The Christian Right is Neither” (t-shirts and bumber stickers are around with that, but my best friend got his truck rear ended in a parking lot. Brotherly love! Please email me if you want a internet brochure for the retreat. A VARIETY of God's children attend.

    A man in his true form.  Gotta love that. Mine won't even swish wine in his mouth, but he'll chow down a hunk of cheese and cold meat for every meal
