i've been lingering. open relationships are tricky business. i really need to read the ethical slut: a practical guide to polyamory, open relationships & other adventures. i think i'm taking my sexuality to a new level. it's strange to have come out in a place like austin, where i was practically thrown out of the closet and forced to wear my lesbian badge proud. there were no in betweens and i belonged to a strict girls only club. and by girls i mean radical butch females who at the least considered themselves to be androgynous beings that defied heteronormative.. anything. after moving out & back to this city i feel like i've experienced more than that cliche group of ladies. i don't need to be a gold star, raging dyke. and i'm not going to be one. actually in a sense it makes me want to distance myself from the whole deal. i have a girlfriend, i'm comfortable with my neutral sexuality and i don't need to justify my identity by exclusively hanging out with other lesbians.
also it really irked me that the mock up wedding consultations in my class were all generic straight couples. how safe.
