On Monday, October 10, the USA observes the holiday, Columbus Day, dedicated to the memory of Christopher Columbus and his voyages to the New World from Spain. For many Americans, this was a holiday where many falsely believed he actually "discovered" the New World. Of course, the Native American were already living here long before Columbus set sail in search of a shorter route to India. He wasn't even the first European to land here. The Vikings visited here several hundred years before Columbus was born.
Today is a day remembering Columbus' journey that inaugurated a European exodus to these shores that almost wiped out the indigenous people. He changed the history of the world in ways he never even imagined.
As for me, I'm using the day off from work to lounge in bed a little longer than usual. The weather outside is supposed to be nice so I'll spend time outdoors and naked. Thank you, Christopher Columbus!
Happy Columbus Day!
Be yourself: gay, nude and proud!
