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've seen this before in other arenas, sadly I think it goes back to what is modeled for us. They are treating you the way they were most likely treated when they came out or had some other similar deal.

It does't exuse it. But it may point to the reasons for it.

Also, for the record, I you are a fabulous human role model, but you know that;)

Good point. Thanks for the food for thought.
