Oh in case I haven't mentioned it; I'm a gay woman in a long term monogamous with a gorgeous and loving woman. Who for some reason has kept me around for over five years.
So some people know that I don’t actually identify as a “lesbian” for multiple reasons. Mainly, so I can not be tossed in the same boat as my emotionally and verbally abusive aunt who does identify as a lesbian.
I also tend to see the word used in a more political forum. And I do not want politics to weigh in on who I love and choose to have relationships with. As politics do tend to make for strange bedfellows.
There is a good deal of total bullshit about people not REALLY being gay or whatever for some pretty bogus and bullshit reasons. I’ve seen some where they are all up in arms saying someone isn’t a member of the second class citizens (the LGBT people, let’s face it) because of who they had sex with 15 years before they ever came out? Total bullshit.
Just fuck off and quit trying to make people fit neatly into boxes because it makes you comfortable.
