we are gathered here today

Back from spending today at my cousin Adam's wedding. This has left me thoughtful and rambly and maybe a little melancholy, because, well.

IKWYM - it's funny, despite the social forces that you'd think would act otherwise, I'm much, much more comfortable with the queer side of me than the straight side of me (not that there's really all that much of it, tbh, but there's always been some). Idk, although obviously I'm not trying to say that queer relationships are some kind of magical island of freedom from social expectations, I feel like there are just so many social and cultural forces that construct heterosexual relationships in ways that frustrate me and from attitudes that I don't like...ugh, I feel like I'm approaching Manifesto For Political Lesbianism or something here, which isn't something I believe in and isn't what I want to get at at all :/ I suppose it's just another aspect of generally wanting to say to the dominant attitudes towards gender and sexuality and relationships, fuck that shit and how pervasive it is. Which obviously can be just as easily achieved by individuals redefining heterosexuality in their own terms, so.

I may get back to you with pics once I no longer have RPattz bed-fringe.
