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.

You're living out your own episode of the L Word with this, which is disturbing in and of itself. It's pretty pathetic that falling in love can garner such contempt, no matter which gender it is.

Is that good? I haven't seen it. The lesbians seemed so....I dunno, polished and plastic-looking. Good stories?

Not really. I hated it but I watched it with my ex any way. The characters weren't very nice people and the writing was pretty much the most inconsistent I've ever seen. But one of the storylines was exactly what you're going through right now. A character started dating a man and all her friends turned vicious. I think we were supposed to side with the friends and find her dating a man to be a "betrayal" but it made me so angry that I refused to watch the show any longer.

Wow. That's a bit disturbing.
