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.

If they weren't the one to put the ring on your finger, then they have no right judge you about these matters. I think it's beautiful that you found love in an unexpected place (or gender, rather). Life is too short to be held down by politics and other peoples expectations and presumptions. Congrats on your marriage, your health and for setting the record straight!

Thank you! And I agree: life is short. Might as well enjoy it while we're around!
