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.

As a former lesbian who just got married to a wonderful wonderful man and who went through the same thing, I feel your pain. I was lucky enough to have most of the people who really mattered to me be happy that I found someone I loved and who loved me back. I hope you also find that the people who really care about you will be happy for you.

Yeah, most people have been really great. We should form a support group or something! But you're right, the benefits and joys far outweighs they occasional pangs of sadness these kinds of reactions cause.

And you know, the best part is that you found a PERSON (no matter what sex or gender) who you love and who loves you and who you can spend the rest of your life with. That's the really important part. :)
