From the "who knew" file...

If you've been a lesbian your entire adult life and then meet an amazing person you want to marry who happens to be a man, you are going to a) cause much ire and consternation among some people who you once considered good friends and amazing people, and b) be the butt of the anger and contempt of said former friends.

For the record: I'm not your lesbian role model, and I never should have been. My life is my life, not your political slogan.

But hey, maybe that's the price you pay to start being eligible for heterosexual privilege.

I'm sympathetic to how marginalized lesbians are...I know it's not the easiest life in the world. And it's quite something having your boss, your colleagues, your sister's in-laws, everyone be so happy for you in your relationship. Nothing I've ever experienced before. So I guess I should be a bit more understanding about the bitterness of others who haven't "escaped" it.

i understand and agree with you; i can totally appreciate rage and bitterness. i guess i just feel that they are massively misdirected (towards you) in this case. oh wells.
