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 know, can you believe it? I'm ranting on my own journal for a change!

Girlfriend has some baggage, yo.

So if instead you'd always identified as straight and then realized you were in love with a woman ... like what happened to my sister ... that would be OK, then? I'm so confused.

I don't care who loves who ... as long as when they do love each other, it's real, and meaningful, and not full of stress and angst and passion that flames out quickly.

Preach on, straight woman!
